I accept this blessing

Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV)

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

 

I thought I was done and I thought this was the finish line.  I submit.  Lord, I accept this blessing.  More to come…

When I am scared to stand up for myself

It has been a challenging holiday season.  Yes, i was thrilled and blessed to be with my family and also to welcome the newest editions to the family.  But there was always something that was replaying in my mind.

I have been praying for something for past past couple of years and last year, I finally received it.  It is something I LOVE doing and I know I am being a blessing to the people I am with on an everyday level.  I got what I prayed for and I should be happy…right?

Well, the past month an uneasy feeling has been inside of me.  A feeling that I am not at my final destination.  The short version of this story is that I may have an opportunity to go somewhere else and EVERYTHING inside of me is telling me to take it.

It should be such an easy option.  Option 2 is better than option 1 therefore take option 2.  But my problem is that I prayed so much for option 1.  I finally have it.  I should be happy.  Yet, for some reason I have it in my heart that i should be doing more somewhere else.

I prayed for some inspiration and came up with this.

I have been trying to put my earthly logic into the Lord’s plan.  I assume that because this is what I prayed for, this is as far as i will go.  I need to realize that i have a loving God that always looks out for me.

Earthy Opinions

  

Came across this on my Facebook wall. It was something I posted in 2013. Still rings true today. I still have a hard time with worrying what people think about me. It’s sad that in this time of my life when I am blessed with so much that I still even worry about what people say. Something I need to really focus on. 

I know what really matters yet I still worry about the wrong things. Anyone else struggling with this? 

Have a great weekend. God Bless!

Watching The Lord Bless Your Kids

This week has been an absolute whirlwind.  My 8 year old daughter has started playing golf and she absolutely loves it.  I love seeing the joy in her face as she plays.  All these years i have been envious of my friends taking their sons to baseball, football, basketball practices and now i have been given the opportunity to share in those moments.  I always wanted to say “good job” after a game as I carry their equipment; now i get that chance.  Thank you lord for this.  It’s the little things that show that you love me.
