I know, I know - It's been 9 months since my last blog. Life happens sometimes. Among the daily hustle and bustle of being a mommy to two under the age of 4, a super awesome wife, and the family housekeeper, it often seems like time gets sucked down the garbage disposal (which, by the way, is broken right now. Gotta check that off of my to do list). I really need to take more time to get my thoughts out onto this electronic paper.
Blogging is just the modern day word for journaling. Except you make a lot more noise with a keyboard than you do with a pencil and paper. I've come to realize, though, that it is through blogging and journaling that we are able to release our frustrations, figure things out, and have a much more sane life. We can look back on past blogs and see where we were walking in life, how God was blessing you, or how He now has answered your prayers. It serves as a constant reminder that life is a challenge, but we always manage to, with God's help, get through the tough times and the mistakes. Yep, we survive. Journaling and daily prayer/quiet time with the Lord go hand in hand. Haven't done much of either lately, and it's time to reorganize my priorities. God has reminded me just recently how much He loves me, and how much I matter to Him. First time I have truly felt that. Thank you Lord for reminding me of how much you love me. I'm not just a dot in the universe, I'm His daughter. He doesn't forget about me, so I shouldn't forget about Him. If He can manage umpteenbagillion sons and daughters, then I can take time to be in His presence each day and journal about my life and struggles/victories. Simple as that. There may be someone out there who is is dire need of a Christian example of how to survive life thought God's strength. May my blog and life be that example.
The enemy wants us to be focused on everything outside of our straight and narrow path that God has designed for us. Satan knows just what will make you turn your head and think twice about. He may even make it seem like it is from God, when your spirit taps you and reminds you that it's not. Gotta stay focused. Gotta stay on fire. The world needs it!
Loving my God and my Saviour,
Elizabeth
