The Season

She went and did it. It was so unexpected. I was just opening my email like I always do. There it was. Black and white words like that flew from the screen like an arrow straight to my heart. She asked us to finish this sentence.... I feel stuck in ____________. She asked...... and words that I didn't even know were in my heart started pouring out. I feel stuck in this season. A season on which I can't even put a name. It's a season full of not knowing what comes next, but feeling as if I should. A season of feeling like I should be doing more.....more for the Lord, but drawing a blank as to what to do. It's quiet and it's still. Two things that should bring peace seem to bring unrest. It's a season of feeling as if my tree is no longer baring fruit. It's reading His word over and over, searching for what comes next, but not getting a clear answer. So I  wait. I wait in what see...

Recognizing God

  In my reading yesterday, I came across a question. “Do you experience Jesus Christ in the daily activities of your life?” My mind immediately went to a conversation that I had just had with a friend. I was telling her how neat it was to see God work in the small stuff, and how He customizes His blessings to the individual person. You see the thing that blesses me may not bless you. I’ll give you “a day in the life of me” example and we can compare notes….. I woke up this particular day (reluctantly) with a huge sense of dread for the day that lay before me. I had too much to do and no time to do it. At the top of my list was a trip to Lowe’s (with a three year old) that was going to involve itemized lists, price comparison, hours of my time, and way to much use of my tired brain.

Thursday's Prayer

I come to You Lord. Leaning into You. My soft place to fall. Burying my face in You. Bringing You my heartache and my tears. I bring You the offering of myself. As little as it is. I come interceding for my family. For my husband. For my girls. I come seeking guidance, seeking words, seeking wisdom. Help me Lord to balance these circus acts of motherhood and wifehood. I’m struggling to balance feeding myself on Your Word, and helping my children learn to feed on Your Word. Help me teach them Lord. Help me to show them how seek refuge in You. As I learn that You are all I need, help me to translate that to them. Create in their hearts a desire to know you more. You know the trials I face Lord. I thank You that You are for me Lord. (Romans 8:31) I thank You that when ever I need to hear from You, all I have to do is open Your Word. Thank You for meeting me here. I thank You that even when I don’t know what to pray that Jesus is there making intercession for m...
