What’s Been Up With Me Lately

       Life has been, well, life!  I have had ups and downs this week. Tears and triumphs were also mixed in. The stuff with my brother has been weighing heavily upon my heart, and although I will not pretend it has not been painful (very painful and traumatic) the LORD has been with me, strengthening me, each step of the way. Without Him I would never make it. He is, and always will be, so good to me!

          The book has been coming slowly.  I have actually only written one “day” so far since I told you about the whole thing.  It was very hard for me think about writing without getting nervous. I knew I just needed to let go of the worry and doubt and let God work through me, so that is what I did yesterday afternoon.  I had a really good devotional time with the LORD in the morning, in which I repented of doubting the LORD and His strength, then, that afternoon I was finally able to write something. It is so much easier for me to write when it’s just a blog post, but when it comes to thinking it might be in a book, whew! That scares me. It definitely is moving slower than I had hoped but hey, this is the LORD’s book, not mine! We’re going by His timing, and again, not mine! J  I guess I’ll just have to wait on Him. (It seems like everything in my life right now includes waiting on Him. Although, I guess that is the best place to be! J)

          I just finished the book The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer. It was very good and I would recommend it for a challenging, deep, read about God. He covered topics like the presence of God, what is true worship, getting to know the LORD personally and challenging your perception of what pursuing God means.  Suffice it say, it was very good!  I would encourage you to read it. Some parts were a bit deep for me, but I loved it none the less.  Although, I do not agree with all his doctrinal views, it was a very encouraging and deeply challenging book!

          Well, I’d like to write more but cooking and cleaning await me.  Alas, there seems to be so little time in the day!  May you all be blessed today, despite the rain!

Love in Him,
