We depend upon the Lord alone to save us. Daily He can help us; He protects us like a shield. No wonder we are happy in the Lord. We are trusting Him. We trust His Holy name. Yes, Lord, let your constant love sweeten us, for our hopes are in you alone.
Thank you, Father God, for Your constant love. Our hope is in You. There is no hope but You Father God. Let me always be mindful of our heritage.
Our battles are all won when we believe in You and Your power. Remind our people of Your power, Father. You created all. You gave us Jesus to give us hope through His life. I am forever grateful for challenges which allow me to know you better Lord. I love living with our talks and feeling blessed with Your presence.
God, thank You for being in charge of our wants. Your already know everything we need. Best of all, thank You God for loving us and wanting the best for each of Your children. How can one even comprehend your boundless love. Thank You for this day!
Each day is a challenge. I find part of my grief is staying busy. Part of staying busy means I find myself wanting more all the time. My wants over the years have changed, I have tried on several occasions to fill wants with happiness. I know the only way to true happiness is knowing who I am designed, called and gifted to be. Knowing in my head is one thing, but believing it with my whole heart? When my mom passed, all I wanted was my house to be in order. I wanted new furniture, everything cleaned out, and organized. I stayed as busy as I could wanting to forget what my new reality was. If fact, these journals sat on my desk for months, I didn’t want to open them. My Aunt was so precious is typing them up so all I had to do was read them. I would read a few and really wanted to find comfort in them, but it just reminded more she was gone. In my mind she was still on a long trip, she loved to travel and I knew she would come back soon. She always did.
After Christmas, I had an overwhelming desire to finish what I know she would want. I decided to do one day at a time, not read all though at once. This blog was just an idea for me to be accountable and share with my kids one day how amazing their Meema was. There is always something that pops out and today was the line “I am forever grateful for the challenges that allow me to know You better.” This is my challenge.. relying on You. Not filling my heart with selfish wants, but filling it with Your wants. Today, I want trust I can do that.
