Hello!
Thanks to some inspiration from a fellow blogger I am back at it, after two long months away! So much has happened these past two months it would be an extremely long blog post to try and catch you all up. Instead I've decided to let know know how I feel in this moment.
In this moment I feel hopeful yet still looking up for when a season of relief will come. Being pregnant has become increasingly difficult. Between braxton hicks and moods swings I haven't been at my best. I've fallen away from my bible study & my community group recently broke up and our family hasn't started attending a new group yet. I know Jesus is always close but I don't feel very close to him. This world is full of distractions and I have watched over the past few months as I have become increasingly distracted with hobbies like couponing, hunting for baby gear, and watching HGTV. None of these things are bad but I've put them before my #1 proirity my relationship with JESUS!
I miss the days when I was first saved and on fire for Jesus proclaiming his goodness to anyone that would listen. Instead of wishing for those times again I've decided to focus on the season he has for me now. I'm praying he would let me see the glory I can bring to his name in even the mundane days where Fable and I hangout around the house in our pj's. I pray he would open my eyes to my sin and I would make him my #1 again.
I'm not sure what he has in store but I will continue to remember his word.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 ESV
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
ReplyDeleteI try to remember this one when I feel down or like things are going wrong. Hope it helps you as it helps me!
