Once again I have failed at keeping this updated, I could
blame many things but the reality is it was pure laziness. We have recently
been blessed with the opportunity to live in a 3 bedroom house in another
neighborhood. After much prayer I decided to move myself and my children to
another home. There was a little resistance from the boys because they enjoyed
the small cramped two bedroom apartment we called home. We are all moved in and
are still trying to make it feel like home. They are adjusting well. School
starts today and after a lot of tears and prayers I decided to take on the
rewarding challenge of homeschooling them. All 3 of them! With the help of PA
cyber school and some bible lessons we are on our way to a successful school
year! I have also been blessed with the opportunity to change jobs which will
allow me to be off every Sunday so that I can be back at church every week. Its
so important for the children and I to worship together each week and they need
to see that I am making that a priority. I must say that when I finally decided
to pray and ask the Lord to provide a job without weekends he moved quickly,
very quickly, when I got the call I was like “slow down lord to many changes to
fast”. I still took time to pray and make
sure that it was the right move spiritually as well as financially for my
family. In the end it was and making that step of faith was the hardest move of
all. Truth be told I don’t like change, I like things that I can control. That’s
my security, my comfort. God was giving me exactly what I wanted and was
praying for and I still was hesitant because I wasn’t sure that things would
work out. When it came down to it I realized that I thought I was trusting in
the Lord to provide all my needs but in reality I was trusting in myself and my
ability. I have to meditate on those
verses that remind us how much he cares for us and how much he provides and
carries us through those times we feel like we just cant make it. Its funny, every time that I get stressed I have to train myself to think back over my
life and all the times where I thought it wasn’t going to work and God pulled
it off. As always he keeps his promises. My god has always provided, protected
me and loved me even at my worst times. Wow people let us down constantly and
the only one who remains faithful is Him. He always exceeds my expectations.
Today I am going to meditate on how much I am loved by my
heavenly father. You should too. Talk to him, tell him how you feel, pray and
watch how he changes you. Have a
wonderful day Ladies!
