Who is Boss

So, I am plowing right though my Sunday as usual. Breakfast cooked, laundry started, Church was amazing, Dinner done, more laundry, and then it hits me: Sunday is my blog day!! Ahhhhh, I don't have anything pressing on my heart today but I will keep my commitment to write weekly so I don't get too far behind. This past week breezed right by and I realize that we are in the middle of January! Only two more weeks until the month of Feburary sneaks on in! The Lord continues to speak to my heart and groom my spirit. Honestly, I pray He never stops. He constantly reminds me that He is always with me and always knowing of my thoughts and concerns. ALWAYS. That is so important to me (He knows that too!) Through my Bible study and devotional He reminds me often just what I need to know. One day this week it was to remind me that He is leading me along the "high road". Not only did He approve the path before me, He designed it! I have one simple assignment: to follow Him, allowing Him to direct me on this path, step by step. I am learning to trust Him when things go "wrong". Disruptions to my routine highlight my dependence on Him. Trusting acceptance of trials brings blessings that far outweigh them all (2 Corinthians 4:17). Trust does not falter when the path becomes rocky and steep. I think my favorite lesson this week was titled "Approach this day with awareness of Who is Boss". Wow. Talking about hitting the nail on the head. Impatience comes natural to me as I would imagine it does to most people. Its human nature. A constant struggle. Not only do we want our way, we want it NOW. And how do we act and feel when we don't get our way? Not pretty is it? So, I am reminded that The Lord Almighty is Boss. He is in Devine control of the universe and I have asked Him (more than once) to be in control of my life and my family. To lead us in the direction He would have us to go. For His will for our family and our dreams of expanding it. I trust Him completely in every aspect of my life. I cannot comprehend how much He loves me, how could I not trust Him? Well,  in my opinion this trust doesn't come naturally. Especially when bad things happen to good people. It is a learned trust.  I am desperately trying each and every day to be closer to my heavenly Father. I just purchased a book to read: The Resolution for Women. I am so excited to read it and hopefully it will draw me even closer to Him. When I get discouraged in my journey to conceive and bear a child (which is often but improving), I try to remember the big picture. I mean the REALLY big picture. Satan roaming the Earth back and forth looking for one to devour and the Lords heavenly host constantly in spiritual warfare over our very souls. Although in my very own little tiny world this is such an enormous deal, in the really big picture, its really not about me and what I want at all. It's about sharing Jesus and the love of God with others. Now, don't get me wrong, I believe the Lord is concerned with every detail of our lives, our hearts, and the desires therein hence the beginning of this blog where He speaks to me daily to keep me on the path He has set before me. I am prone to wander.........

Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
