Teresa & Faith's Journey

How did I get so Lost???

How did I get here?

So lost as of right now?

Trying to find my way back?

Doing all the wrong things.

God calling me at every turn.

Thank goodness that God is ALWAYS good, always true to His Word, that He will never leave us or forsake us. That no matter where I am or where I have been, HE IS THERE, calling to me. Sometimes I have listen and others I have to say I wasn't. I want to be on track now and I have to listen to His voice all the time.

Things have changed in our house and I thought this change would be a good one with daddy home every night. But things seem to be going the wrong way and I wasn't listen to God tell me how to get back on track!?! I am listening now and I have heard Him and I have shared this with my husband,hoping that he will make the changes that our Precious Faith needs, to fill her emotional tank each night before he disappears to study.

I have heard God when HE told me to get rid of the things that were getting in the way of His time with me, (even my family). I have left Facebook, no longer to be found there. I have deleted ALL the games off my BlackBerry, I have left all the homeschool support groups(this was hard), I never even wrote a good bye, not sure if they will even notice?? I kept the one that I run, (it's not doing so well and not sure how to get it going??), I left all the mass mail type things, letters on homeschooling helps, devotionals, whatever mailing list. BOY IS MY IN BOX QUITE NOW!!! I wanted to get rid of cable but Huddy isn't there yet, so I have to be diligent in NOT turning it on.

He(God) has allowed me to blog and wants to me start doing so again. I wrote my next article, but the ending wasn't right and huddy has been taking the computer with him every night that I never got to rewrite it the way God wanted and not me, but got lost in the mess of what gets lost in a computer crash!! All the emails I had to get to, all the blogs I like to visit, and other lost in space sites. So do you see what I do? that the crash was part of GOD'S PLAN??!! How great and wonderful He is that not matter how far I feel and how messed up I got, HE WAS RIGHT HERE, calling me back.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 (Amplified Bible)

Yet the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen [you] and set you on a firm foundation and guard you from the evil [one].

James 3:17 (Amplified Bible)

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).

Romans 4:21 (Amplified Bible)

Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.

Oct. 9, 2009 - I was wondering...

Posted by ThriceBlessed

I wondered what happened to you on Facebook. I was coming to a similar realization about a lot of things myself. Especially Facebook. God hasn't led me to leave it altogether, because many of my relatives stay in touch that way. But he has led me to limit myself to one short visit a day for the time being. A quick status update and look at my notifications, and then get off. Its amazing that I've suddenly had time for things that I haven't been able to get to for months. Not only that, my INTERNAL focus is shifting from being caught up the whole "online social thing" back to my family where it belongs.
I still watch cable, but only my NASCAR, not much of anything else appeals to me.

I recently had to re-enter the workforce due to the shrinking economy. I often feel "lost." I miss those times of sitting there, studying the Word for long periods of time. I have had to cut back on my internet time when I am home. About the only time I visit other blogs is when I am at work, and things are very slow (which doesn't happen too often in ER, especially with all the H1N1 craze right now.)

I'm so thankful the Lord has not left me. He is still here, and I often make my thoughts turn to Him in the midst of the chaos of my day. He never fails to meet me wherever I am. He is so faithful.
