it's coming...really it is!
WOW! 2011 will be a year to remember...the snow has been unbelieveable...the long winter ugh...and the struggles we as a family have faced are some of the hardest to date...I find myself very quiet...very withdrawn...not knowing what to think or what to do...spending much time in prayer seeking God's comfort, advice and grace to face each new challenge that is tossed our way...I continue to be amazed how God cares for us...thru all areas in our lives...How people make in thru this life and thru difficult times without the Lord in their lives...I will never understand.
If you know me well at all you know spring is my favorite time of the year...after a long hard cold bitter winter...life returns...things begin to bloom and we see evidence of hope reborn...this spring will be even more a picture of that as life has felt like this long winter as well...the sun is shining bright this morning and it is cool and crisp in the air but it looks like a fresh new spring morning...
We all have our struggles to deal with...some feel much heavier than others, and while in our individual eyes this may seem true we must not compare our struggles...balancing them on scales to see which is the heaviest and hardest to bare...they are all hard to the person struggling thru them...we should, rather, encourage one another on, pray for each other...understand we can't fix it for each other...(that is so hard for me!)...and point one another to the author and perfector of our faith.
I, by the grace of God, get to go to Florida next week for a visit with my girl and her sweet boys(yes that means the little ones and the big one)...I'm so ready to see them...I hope we do nothing but just enjoy the stuffing out of each other! To see my grandbabies...reaching for me...hollering Grammy out to me is just a joy and a blessing...Rylee and Caleb get to do this several times a week and Ayden, Landon and Camden, while it isn't the same, are just a phone call away...Landy called this week to share exciting potty news with Grammy!!!! My kids and my grandbabies are the spring to my life...the hard winter of my past, my mistakes have a new a fresh beginning with my future generations...I pray they learn from my mistakes, they love Jesus with all that they have within themselves and they serve Him for the rest of their days!
One last thing, last night in youth class, I really just wanted to run...I thought class was going to be really tough...we had 29 students last night...and while they were loud... they are really great kids...we have one that is working on writing a song...no words yet but he played his guitar for us...amazing...then the girls lead us in a song of praise...we prayed...asked God to take over...and you know what...HE DID! The Lord had a great lesson for us all...about the different areas...or rooms if you will of our heart...He wants access and control over them all..but if we are honest we have secret hidding places we don't want to give up or reveal...Lord break my heart wide open for YOU!!!
