Joy in the little moments...
As you may have noticed I have started blogging again. I'm getting ready to launch a "new blog" with the same old me. You will see changes coming! As I have been on this journey of taking an extreme extravert (same old me again) and turning her into a stay at home I have learned a lot of hard lessons. I'll write about those hard lessons later on.....keep checking back!
All of that to say, the Lord has placed a passion within me to help others discover what the Lord can do in their lives if only they let them. As I have prayed about ways to live that out, along with normal daily living, the Lord has really laid this blog on my mind. So...if what I write helps you I praise the Lord for that. If it doesn't help you then I trust that the Lord is meeting you right where you are.
Now to the point of this entry. This week has been CRAZY!!!! Is anyone else with me? There were many moments during this week that I could have turned into "freak out" mom/wife and with the help of the Lord I either did not freak out or just slightly freaked out. That still counts, right? I will say publicly that is all to the glory of God. I have allowed God to peel those layers away of anger, frustration, doubt, and fear. Let me tell you, this week they tried so hard to creep back in but I knew if I choose to sucumb to those feelings I would be taking the easy road.
If you struggle with losing it and letting your emotions get the best of you we serve a God who you can give those emotions to. We serve a God who you can turn to in those moments and pray for peace, or strength, or serious moment of sanity!
I started one of my days this week praying, "Lord, help me to honor you today." I knew that what laid ahead of me would give me ample opportunity to "dishonor" the Lord by losing control of my emotions.
Was I perfect this week? Nope! Do I have regrets about losing control of my emotions and hurting those around me? Nope! That my friend, is because of God's grace and my reliance upon Him.
His grace is sufficient for you too!
