So, somehow it is already mid-March...
And somehow my last blog post was published in December...
And somehow life gets away from you...
And
Yet
God
Still
Teaches.
God
Still
Speaks.
God
Still
Woes
Me
To
His
Word.
Praise HIM!!
I could start back in January and speak of how God has taught me more about His authority over ALL THINGS
Nature.
Man.
Sickness.
Sin.
Death.
...through the book of Mark.
I could chronicle the journey I've made having some very.difficult.discussions with a few dear friends of mine about hurts and misunderstandings, and how God was so faithful to give me the courage to do this, and grant His almighty grace to restore and strengthen these relationships.
I could lament over the fact that Bible-study going (and hosting!) friends of mine still choose to pay to see trash at the movie theater. Why is that? Why do I also willfully sin as a believer? What do we as believers DO with that, exactly?
I could tell you about how the Lord has been leading my family toward a decision crossroads in our homeschooling journey and has beckoned us to strike out on a new path for next year. And I could tell you how I am sad, and excited, and nervous all at the same time...
I could also tell you more about my struggle with anxiety and how I have been working with a therapist on a weekly basis to unlearn some conditioned responses I have developed over the years (decades?) when I drive under certain conditions. It is wildly intriguing how our brains our wired and yet, woefully personal as I do battle with fears, old and new.
Lastly, I could tell you about how I have been wondering where this blog thing is going. Do I have a "reader" and if so, what do I need to consistently say to him or her? Do I just do this for myself? What is my purpose here? How will God use it? And if this is a "thing" I need to do, should I invest in a laptop? (as I often find myself second or third in line for the computer these days!)
But, I suppose I won't get into all those things right now, for time and energy's sake.
Instead, I will leave us all with a thought.
Let's slow down.
Let's listen up.
Let's dive deep into what the Lord wants us to know and explore this Lenten season about who He is and who WE are.
If you need a great lenten devotional to do just that, check out this blog post.
If you need to hear a Bible-based sermon about just those very things, listen to the 3/5/17 podcast at this website.
May He speak to you, and me, in Mighty ways this week, dear one!
