Obey, Trust, and Serve

These have become the theme words for my life. God has brought me to a place in my life to obey, trust and serve HIM. He has brought me down a path in the last 10 years that has been perfectly orchestrated for his use. In the past few weeks I have literally become a spectator in my own life. God has been at work and has been revealing plans that he has for me and my purpose in building his kingdom. I have watched him move in my life and while that is thrilling, I still struggle with the fear of trusting him. What is wrong with me?

I don't think that my plans for myself are any better, I just question why he chooses me. Why does he choose to call me to a place of obedience to accomplish things that seem impossible? I know he has a perfect plan for me and I am truly thrilled to see where he takes me. Now I just need to stop questioning his intentions and trust that his plan will always be for good, and to bring HIM glory.

So I had the whole summer to spend on blog entries, and I didn't find the time to write one! I was obviously busy with three little kids and doing my best to keep them occupied. Well summer has flown by and now I am ready for Fall!

For the first time I feel at rest. I am at peace with the place that Christ has brought me to. It's been a long 2 years on my new venture of staying home, and there have been a lot of rough life lessons to learn. I have embraced those challenging lessons and I have worked hard at listening to what Jesus has been trying to teach me. I now understand why he allows us to experience hurts, disappointments, frustrations, and trials. For me it's been to show me that only HE can fix things. Only HE can save people. And in order for me to grow in my walk with him, there are things I must leave behind if I am going to truly be his follower.

I finally have experienced the freedom that a relationship with Christ brings. That freedom has always been offered to me, I am just new at accepting it. I am ready for the challenges that lie ahead, and I am excited to see what my Lord will teach me.
