As I look over the past 6
months I have realized a few things. My
theme for the year was to rest and trust in God. It has been very hard to do
this. I find myself often trying to
accomplish things on my own strength… but we have endured so many trials that I
often fail and fall flat on my face. With
little sleep and a lot on my plate I have been tired a lot… of course having
insomnia doesn't help. J
But I have noticed that on
occasion I have had a time of refreshment in the Lord. During those times my strength is renewed...
my attitude is more positive… I feel joy and peace but unfortunately those
times have been far a few between.
Now that I am on summer
vacation and have more time on my hands I am going to set more time aside to
spend with the Lord. These last couple
weeks I have not been subbing much since there hasn't been anything available
so I already have enjoyed many days of walking in the morning, organizing my
house, spending time studying the Bible while sitting on the porch and drinking
mate, reading books for enjoyment, and enjoying time with family. I am looking forward to having more days of
refreshment this summer.
My hope is that I will so
enjoy these times and recognize the importance of them again and when school
starts back up my refreshing quiet times with the Lord won’t be so few and far
between. I don’t want the stress and
busyness to overwhelm me again and steal my joy in the Lord. I can already tell a difference in my life
and how I relate to others and know that the more time I spend with the Lord
the more his character will be reflected in me.
