Losing Light




“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
~Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

 There are times when I sleep in...not many times but there are mornings when I get up when the kids do. I find every single time I do this...it makes me crazy. I like to ease into my mornings...with coffee, Jesus, and quiet. When I wake up with everyone wanting this....that...and the other? I'm out. Unfortunately, it takes me a lot of time to real myself back in.  

 I don't believe the root cause is sleeping in and demanding kids. I know that there is something deep down inside that is really the problem.  I just don't know what that something is which is why I need that time with Him.

 SO!  I move along my day trying to remember the "get to" instead of the "have to" and trying to find His gifts in the mundane.  They're there...I believe it...I just can't lose sight of it.

 In a loud world - we can lose The Light. In a dark world - we can stop looking for The Light...we have to choose to see it. We have to choose to come to Him - to get away with Him - to stay in The Light to recover our lives. 

 Happy Sunday!

Worry? Proverbs 31 OBS Blog Hop

  This week's blog topic from Proverbs 31 OBS is on “Worry”… AND I know a thing or two about worry.  I’m betting a lot of you reading this do as well.  Dictionary.com defines worry as: “ to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. ” Torment oneself.  Suffer.  Fret.  That’s what I can do to myself sometimes.   I’ve heard that if you worry you don’t really trust that God can handle it.  You don’t trust God with it.  That’s hard to swallow for me.  Because I worry about my kids, my family, me, friends, etc.  But I’m in the Bible every single day.  I am a Jesus girl.  So for me to worry and then see that my worry means I don’t trust that God can handle it is hard.  UGH.   I am getting better about it though.  My time with God every morning is helping.  When I start to worry about something…I begin to pray.  I stop the tormenting in it...

On Sunday of this week, we started a new online Bible study with Proverbs 31!  I am so excited because I love anything Proverbs 31!  Our study this time around is by one of my favorite authors, Lysa TerKeurst….and her book, Made to Crave !  I have read this book already and it is amazing.  If you want to jump in on the study…please do!  Go here to sign up:  http://proverbs31.org/online-bible-studies/ This week for my blog topic I picked “A Raging Battle”   because food is not something I crave more than God…I crave other things.  God has shown me some things that I crave more than Him and it’s not pretty.  “My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord ; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.”  Psalm 84:2 For three years now I have been doing a 365 photo a day blog and last year I started writing every Thursday about my faith and whatever was on my heart.  I felt...
