God Is In Control...

The outcome of yesterday's election are beside the point here...no matter WHO is in office, God remains in control. God is all-knowing and this has not caught Him off guard in the least. And no matter what choices are made, they are in God's Will and we must remain faithful to Him. This goes for not only those who are leading our great country, but for every one of us.

I have asked God to grant me peace in every situation, because when you have peace and can remain level-headed, it is easier to see where you will go next or what your next choices are. It doesn't mean it is easy, just easi-ER. God is good ALL THE TIME and all the time GOD IS GOOD. This means something different in each and every situation. Today it means that God is providing and will sustain us until we have more money in our account. Tomorrow it may mean that though I have been wronged by a friend, God is in control and knows the entire situation inside and out when I know a mere fragment of what is going on in my friend's life.

As I grow and mature spiritually (and don't get me wrong, I still have QUITE a way to go!) I learn that it is easier to trust God first...and THEN figure out what I can do to ease the situation. When it seems that my efforts at communication are botched, I trust that God will help me "clear the air" and get it all worked out. He has time and again. He did recently. And while it would be GREAT to realize this each and every time something happens, at least it helps the times I DO try it! My goal for today is to relax knowing that God is in control...we are mere mortals and do nothing without His knowing. What a relief!

Be blessed this week and let me know how I can pray for you...

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
