Well, it has been awhile since I have posted anything on here. . .sorry about that. Here are a few pics from the last couple months! So many good times~
It's always said, that "time flies", so maybe it does but the question is, where are you spending it? We are always investing our time into something and there is nothing greater than investing our lives into Christ Jesus and furthering His eternal Kingdom!
Seth came back with me after Christmas!! It was great to have him up here and spend the week with him!
My Parents came up to visit me for a few days, in January! We had several LATE nights talking which was really great!! I'm so blessed to have godly parents!
Christine and Rachel both moved away! They are such a blessing to me!
Our winter was quite delightful. . .and it's probably not over yet! LOL, We had a ton of fun sledding, ice skating and snow mobile riding! It was great!! But I'm sooo ready for summer!! :)
To many memories. . .how can I even begin to describe this! I'm blessed to be able to have friends who always point me towards Christ!! Thanks guys! Joy moved to TX this past week. . .which is so sad but thankful that the Lord allowed our paths to cross! Joy you've encouraged me in my walk with the Lord and pushed me towards Him, over and over again. . .always turning my attention to Jesus! Thank you!!
So there you have it. . .a VERY brief overview of my life for the past two months!
But can I just say that Jesus is so very patient with me! Wow, he never ceases to draw me to himself. . .but in my self-centeredness, I find myself resisting Him. What? Why would I be resisting my King, who does all things well and wants what is best for me. My desire is to always trust in Him no matter what and to never doubt His goodness. Yet, I find myself rejecting Him and doing it my own way, telling Him that I know better and struggling to answer His call with a "yes".
"Sometimes our hardest battles are not against the devil but with the Lord"
Oh! He is so patient with me and even in my own weakness of pleasing myself, He turns my attention to gaze upon His beauty, to exalt Him as King, and to abide in His presence. We are frustrated when we don't here the voice of the Lord, when He seems so silent and yet, when He is speaking and prompting us to do something specific, we turn around and lean on our own understanding and act as if we know better. What is this? Rejecting the One who works all things together for our good. Our self is one of our greatest enemies but I find that as I meditate on God's word, He renew's my mind and gives me the power to say "yes" to Him! There are so many examples in the Bible of men and women choosing their own way and not receiving the great blessings and promises that God had for them. Just think, every time you choose your own way. . .is the little pleasure to serve the desire of yourself worth giving up His incredible blessings?
There's just a few thoughts that I've been thinking about!
