Alive

Some of you that read my blog are probably wondering if I am still here or
if I have just up and left...nope I'm here...seems as though I am going
through a season of my life that is yet bringing another change...not sure
just what it is..but I know that it will be something special, because you
see I have totally surrendered all of my life to my one and only Savior
Jesus Christ...now I have done this before...but there were parts that I was
so unwilling to surrender and now I have let go..from here on out what He
wants is what I want...takes all the questions out...now I know I will still
mess up...but I know that He is there right away to forgive and hold me
again...things just seem so uncertain in the world today..and I think that
if we all knew really what is going on we probably couldn't sleep tonight,
so I am glad I don't know it all and have my trust in someone that
does..that is where I will rest...

In my life...broken relationships have been mended recently....accepting
things that are and can't be changed...watching and waiting...embracing
God's blessings...thanking Him for them...Filled...overwhelmed sometimes at
what God has done in my life...if anyone has doubts that He is real give me
a call..I will tell you just how real He really is!!

Upon God's care I lay me down, as a child
upon a Mother's breast...
No silken couch, nor softest bed could ever
give me such deep rest!

Reflecting

I have been here, sat down to blog and before I can even get half finished writing what is on my mind I delete it all...can't seem to get my thoughts down here...

Seems as though lately I have been reflecting on where I have been, where I came from and where oh where am I going..sometimes when the days run into each other and not much is happening out of the ordinary I start to wonder if I am really doing what I am suppose to be doing here on earth...I lately have ran across some other blogs of young Christian women and mothers and I start reflecting on my own life and where I have been. I start feeling so ( lack of words) regretful...of how I lived back then, how I was as a Mother and wish that I could go back just for a few years and do some things over...there are so many things that I am so sorry for..never could understand when my mother always use to say I wish that I could do this or that over she always seemed to live in the past..I don't want to go there and so I have been doing a lot of soul searching and praying and asking God to put the right attitude and His will in my heart...I then reflect on Joel 2:25...I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten...

Today I again want to focus on now and never ever forget that when God forgives He completely forgives as far as the east is from the west..and never to remember anymore...and even though I won't forget..here...unless old age takes care of that for me...I can learn and become better because of it..and also cherish the forgiveness of those that I love so much here....and be so thankful for that...

One lady wrote about the thorns....and how we can either look at inconvenience in our lives as thorns..and then remember that Jesus also says "My Grace is sufficient for you" and the best and favorite verse Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him / who have been called according to His purpose...

So when I wonder if I am where He wants me to be..that I am...and if I wonder am I doing all that I can be ...probably not...but my desire is to.....do exactly what He wants of me...and to serve Him totally....and bloom where He has planted me..and be content....
