It has been so many months since I posted. I kind of forgot that I had a blog! Not that I have a bunch of followers out there waiting to hear from me, but I forgot how therapeutic writing is for me.
There has been so much happen in my life since I last wrote. I am now a stay-at-home wife and mommy. I am still grieving over my dad, but I have realized that you can move on and still miss someone. I think about him daily, but I have also allowed the Lord to be my comfort and He has given me more peace than I could have ever thought imaginable. I think as time goes on, I will continue to write stories about Dad- I want to write down some of the harder stories from the week he died and since as well as some more memories from growing up.
I have started attending a Ladies' Bible Study. It's such a cool thing. This is an international Bible study that reaches thousands of people in many different countries. This week, we have been studying in Acts when Paul and Barnabus split up and going their separate ways on their journey, and Paul goes on to visit and build all of the churches that he writes to in his New Testament letters, including Thessolonica and Phillippi. The main themes that I have been studying are very simple, yet carry great weight in my life.
#1- God will guide you in every place of your life, if you will listen and follow him. Paul laid down all of his plans and followed where the Lord wanted him to go. And he ended up doing great things in these towns. Am I willing to lay everything aside if God is leading me to something I'm not planning right now?
#2- God doesn't want us to suffer his wrath. He loves us and sent His Son to die for us so that we could live with Him for eternity. Sometimes when life doesn't seem fair, we have to think beyond this life and know that God does everything perfect, and whatever we are going through right now is to prepare us to live an eternal life worshiping our King.
It's good to be back!
1 Thessalonians 5 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
