I haven't really felt I've had much to share lately. So I've avoided blogging. But at the same time, I have a need to share my thoughts from time to time. Mostly my thoughts are of a spiritual nature, because I love Jesus. I am blessed to have met Jesus as a really young girl. I am blessed each day to wake up and feel such a peace in my life. My life isn't exciting or full of lots of adventure. It's actually quite boring maybe to most people. I stay home and help take care of my grandbabies mostly. I have found in sacrificing my life and heart for something bigger than myself is where I have found tremendous peace. Living and looking beyond myself hasn't come easy. I thought very differently 3 1/2 years ago. But after Jayden and Brooklyn's diagnosis, life changed, my perspective changed. Their lives have taught me so much about living today living in each moment of the day. I thought life as a believer was about getting it right. Doing and striving to please Jesus. Working and living up to what I thought people wanted from me. That way of living is an empty and hollow hole and it left me with a constant need for acceptance and applause. But I'm learning and I'm so thankful that Jesus is already pleased with me. I matter to God the way I am, the one who gave His life for me wants me to know it's not about being right, getting it right, but truly loving Him and resting in that love. So I'm blessed even when life is hard. Even when I'm doing the most mundane things. He is there and I matter and so do you.
New International Version (NIV)
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
