My Sisters in Christ-Boy am I thankful!
I shared that I am leading a neighborhood Bible Study on Lacy Rozell’s “What if We Pray”. I am thankful for the connections and discussion even on days when I feel so tired that I cannot imagine facilitating a discussion. I was excited for tonight’s study because the topic was on confession of sin and forgiveness.
To God be the Glory
I think anyone that has known me throughout my life would describe me as driven- goal oriented. I don’t want to say I always chased the next thing, but I rarely found contentment in any accomplishment. If I got promoted to Major in the military, it was always when do I make Lieutenant Colonel and what do I need to do to get there. If I graduate with a Masters, what is the next degree or certification I am going after? If I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, what is the next mountain (just kidding-think I am done climbing mountains for a bit!)
Humility and Submission
I have shared that I have been leading Lacey Rozell’s “What if We Pray” Bible Study in our neighborhood. Tonight, we had our weekly session. I will warn you, I have been all over the place today and this may feel a little like a ramble. Today was a difficult day for many reasons. As a dear friend reminded me today, sometimes when we get caught in the storm, we forget to see the Blessings-and the Blessings are there.
When you need it most…a Godwink
We lost a great man yesterday. When I think about Rob’s Uncle it always brings a smile to my face. There is something about the Moore family humor that is unmatched. It is humor that is dry yet perfectly executed often leaving the listener to pause minutes after they walked away and simply smile as they finally got the joke. He loved our family and its history and him and our Aunt lived and enjoyed a long life together.
Thankful for connections
Sometimes, connections are what keep you grounded. They are what remind you that when you may feel like you are in the middle of a storm that is hovering over you alone, that is rarely the case. I have had a few of those reminders lately and I am so thankful for them.
When worlds collide
I know I have mentioned in the past that sometimes things get hectic in my life. I don’t know about you, but every now and then, I get pulled in all directions at the same time and during those times it is hard to not get overwhelmed and to stay grounded. Sometimes I am successful at it, other times I begin to drown in the maybes and what ifs and trying to prepare for all things instead of just tackling them as they come.
A Time for Constant Prayer
I recently spoke with a friend that shared that she felt overwhelmed by all the hate and things going on in the world, even in our own backyard. As I have chatted with dear friends and family lately going through health scares and asking for prayers, I can see where it all would feel overwhelming. I have been deep in prayer in recent days and continue to be in prayer. My prayer list seems to get longer every day. I know how these moments can make us doubt or feel alone-but we are never alone. God never leaves us.
