Doodling From This Week

While lesson time has been going really well, we have a routine that is working. Afternoons are another story. The above is my attempt at getting everything out of my head so I could let it go and rest in God's love for me - yet again.

I have too many things I want to do. Unrealistic expectations of what I can get done. Get lost in the things I want to do rather than need to do.

I’m learning to let go and look from God’s perspective. It helps me make better choices. I do more of what I need to do, what I really want to do, usually. I want to bless my family with an orderly home and decent meals. I feel guilty when I don’t, then I’m grouchy and not fun to be around, but it’s often my own fault.

So I let go and do what He says. What really needs to have my attention right now? I still have a LONG way to go, but I am letting go and resting. 

Wonders of Winter

Wind creates wonders out of snow. 

It keeps our steps. 

 In snow we leave holes.

 The wind takes what we have not trod.

The storm leaves us the path have traveled.

 Are the steps I'm leaving worth following?

Random Thoughts

I have these ideas I want to record, write about, share.

Usually I write them down with hopes of getting them written up and fleshed out just perfect. However, I see that right now getting written down is impressive so I am going to post them as I jotted them down and hope to get back to them someday :)

God is big enough to start over with me whenever I chose to let him. My past can only hold me back if I hold onto it.

I cannot be denied when I am standing on God's Word, pursuing his promise and his presence.

Year of rest. It can only be a year of rest if I actually rest.

People's adverse reactions to our love or us does not mean we've done anything wrong. Look at Jesus!
