I apologize for being sporadic on my writing. Believe it or not I have been more involved in my reading. In the past I haven't had much of a desire for reading much at all. Through prayer I think the Lord has blessed me with a desire to read. Since I no longer involve myself in social networking sites I have really had extra time to involve myself in things that have a lot more meaning. I have been reading two books consistently ("A Wife's Purpose" by Cindy Schaap and "Out of the Spin Cycle" by Jen Hatmaker) I have also started reading and looking into more blogs and devotional sites. I love www.odb.org it reads the devotional and the scripture of the day. I also am following 3 devotional blogs online. You can look at them off of my profile. So this is what I have been filling my time with. I am feeding myself the Word of God as much as I can I am saturating myself in as much scriptural wisdom I can get. I am keeping my eyes on the Lord.
TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace!"
I love that chorus and it is so true! God has been very faithful to me concerning seeing His glory and grace in life right now. With all that is going on with my pastor and my dad (Richard) not to mention the extra stress of working outside the home, keeping my own home, homeschooling Faith, and being involved in the ministry opportunities the Lord has trusted me with. I have been very busy but I am taking the much needed time to work on my spiritual life more than anything else. God is so faithful and He will guide me along the way.
In this post I want to encourage all my readers to keep your eyes on Jesus and do not hesitate to get in the Word and search out the Lord's glory and grace. I also want to publicly thank the Lord for His grace at this time and also showing me His glory during these times.
I will post pictures of the girls soon. I know it has been much to long! They will be up soon :) God Bless You All
Good for you, Chelsie; You will never go wrong by pursuing reading God's word as well as good Christian literature. Keeping my eyes on Jesus as well; and asking the Lord to bring you through this time of trial "like gold" Every thing He puts us through is surely for our good and His glory. Much Love, Grandma
