A Full Life

My life is full right now. And that's a good thing - i think. I'm a busybody at heart and so the more i have to do, the more at ease I feel. Well, my youngest daughter is about to graduate high school and head off to college. I have assumed new responsibilities at work that call for me to be in the office more than last year. I volunteered to head the Women's Ministry at church.

While it may look like i must be on the verge on tipping over, that's not actually so. My husband once commented that i work best under pressure, and because that seemed like not a good thing, i started to protest. But I knew what he said was the truth and decided to accept it for that.

I guess i'm saying all of that to also confess as to why i have not been blogging much of late. But the urge hit me again, and so here's my musings for the day.

Blessings to you.....

Lord Give Me Strength

It is one of the greatest joys of my life to serve the Lord in the manner He has called me to serve this year -- as the Women's Ministry Leader at my home church. What a challenge it will be - - personally and spiritually. I will be stretched in my study, prayer and fellowship. But....thank You Lord. What an amazing, unexpected answer to one of my long held prayers.

Over and over I see how His Ways are so much higher than my ways, and His Thoughts eons above my thoughts. I am only something because He created me.

Why does it seem that with joy comes challenge? I am excited today about the ministry work I have to do, and at the same time, opposition unlike what i've faced before has presented itself in other areas of my life. I thank the Lord for His Word which is full of promises to which I cling, and safety to which I run.

The walk of salvation is miraculous. There is nothing like it. Learning to fully trust, rely and rest in The Lord comes as a result of never letting Him go, no matter where in the walk you find yourself.

May you fully experience the growth, servanthood and love that He has for you.

BRRRRrrrrrrr..

It's cold here in Georgia, but nonetheless, I arose from my bed in the wee hours of the morning to get some work done. Before turning my computer off and heading upstairs to prepare for heading in to the office though, I wanted to write my first post of 2010.

I don't have any deep thoughts or pondered ideas to share. I just wanted to wake up and thank God for yet another day, another month, another year and another beginning. I am gratefull for new beginnings, they have given me joy and reasons to smile over the years.

I pray that you, your family and all those you love are showered with the wonder that a new year and new begginings offer.

Blessings to you.....
