Ever have those times when you are just so busy, with good stuff, with God stuff, that you might be missing something? Well we have been there lately. We operate 2 full time businesses, a full time ministry, and a decent size farm. Not to mention having two daughters weddings this past summer and a complete changing of the guard so to speak in family dynamics. Each person carries their weight here and has their responsibilities, All that shifts when someone gets married and moves to set up their own household. Then of course there are those stubborn, hardheaded extended family members who refuse to bow to Jesus and praying for them is a full time job on it’s own. Someone did it for me so not complaining but my goodness submission to Christ is really so easy, why do we buck up? And suddenly my big ole farm house is too big. Rearranging rooms and such. And then …. and then …..
Suddenly the Lord does something to make you be still. And it is like a whole dumptruck load of God information starts to unload. He answers questions and gives understanding of things I had forgotten to I had asked. Not earth shattering things, just things that didn’t quite seem to match up. He shows you folk’s hearts and their motives. He shows you His plan and clearly shows you the enemies plan, and reminds you you are on the right track and not to get weary. He is good, He is always good. Give thanks in all things.
Just as a finish writing this a young man we have been ministering to for over 15 years calls with a broken heart, his dad just passed away. Hubby is on the phone praying with him. Jesus put your arms around him …. as another day begins.
and .. your thoughts?
