So - I'm a little behind on my blogging. To be honest, I could have been posting entries every day this last week or so, but I just didn't have it in me. It seems like my life has been a whirlwind of relationship challenges lately. I've committed to pray for someone on the spot, rather than say "I'll pray for you". And it seems like I've been praying on the spot a lot! There is a lot of stuff going on in people's lives and we are facing challenges that needs God's attention.
In the midst of all the "stuff" that is happening around me and in me - I have some positive updates:
- My boss is home with her 3rd adopted son from Guatemala!
- I have my first horse lesson on Saturday with Trinity Ranch (I'll blog about that on Saturday)
- God is teaching me some hard lessons about how I relate to people - and I'm wanting to be teachable - even when it hurts.
- I'm feeling braver inside my heart.
- I'm taking a bookkeeping class at EVC - and I'm getting it!
So - in spite of some bumps in the road, challenges to overcome and fires to walk through - I know who I am in Christ and I know who my God is and what He's all about. That gives me hope and comfort, even when I'm exhausted.
Romans 5:1-5 "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
