Trust Your Struggle

-
Tonight on my way home I was listening to the local Christain radio station and it was talking about thanking God for each struggle you go through while your going through it. Hearing that on the radio made me start to think... I don't know about you but I have never thanked God for the struggle or hard time until after it was over. I am so thankful for every hard time that I have been through because it has taught me a lesson and helped me grow. Even Mine & Bradley's divorce, had Bradley and I not ever got a divorced we would not be where we are today. Tonight I am thanking God for every Good, Bad, Hard, etc time that I have been through. Although I don't know what the future holds I will remember to thank God for the bad times just as much as the Good times.

Motherhood is a balance of holding on & letting go.

Tomorrow is my LAST Friday to spend with my son before he  starts Kindergarten next week. Every Friday since he has been born we have spent together. That's about 240 Friday's that have always been our day- whether  it was being lazy or staying busy all day we were always together.  I knew this day was coming & I have dreaded it from day one. It seems just like yesterday we were bringing Owen home from the hospital- First time parents, having no clue what to do or where to even start. And now we are getting ready to send him to Kindergarten.  How does time go by so fast? I am amazed at the young man Owen has grown into. I may be a little biased but he is the smarted, most handsome, funniest little boy. He strives to make someone laugh. He has the biggest heart & loves Jesus to the moon & back 250 times. Tomorrow I am spending every minute doing what Owen wants to do & cherishing my last Friday with him because time is going by so fast & just li...

Pray. Wait. Trust.

We have all heard it--  Pray. Wait. Trust. Much easier said than done, right?  It's easy to pray but when you talk about waiting and trusting that's a little harder. Especially if it's not in "our" timeline. For the past year & a half I have prayed for a job closer to my family (I drive 35 mins to work each day) I tried waiting & trusting. Then I tried putting it back in my own hands. (That didn't work!!) Finally, I prayed and trusted that when the time was right God would send something my way. Before Christmas break I was offered a job 25 mins closer to home. I was unsure at first what to do & if this was God's will or if this was my doings. I prayed more & I decided to take the job.  January 3rd was my first day. I walked in the office & went to my room and one of the first things I noticed was my mouse pad. It said " Faith, nothing shall be impossible for you Matthew 17:20"  Leaving my previous job was hard because o...

Being Joyful

-
Tonight my devotion was on Joy, which was very fitting. Here lately I have prayed that God would help me find the JOY  in all things.  It's very easy for something to go wrong & then the pity party starts. Car trouble, problem at work, all kinds of daily struggles that deplete us. Our minds quickly start focusing on all the bad & forget all the good. God's love is endless. He is always there for us, No Matter What!!  Once we begin to follow God & trust in him, he will help us get through any storm and will help us  find Joy. Today I am thankful for the Joy I feel & I pray God surrounds me with it, fills me with it & helps me share it with others.  The lord your God will bless you in your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete. Deuteronomy 16:15  -Kymberly
