I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
Galations 2:20-21

Mar. 2, 2009~ waking up ~
This morning, like many mornings as of late, I am awake at a wee hour. Four a.m. to be exact.
God, what is it that you want from me at this time of the day/night?
My mind is racing in so many directions I cannot reel it in. I am so frustrated that I am not sleeping. I try to turn my mind to you Lord, but I cannot seem to get a handle. I don't know what to pray. I can't stop the flood of names and circumstances. It feels fragmented and senseless.
I am out of bed, dressed, starting laundry, picking up the kitchen- the kitchen is always in need of picking up. I am still out of sorts- I still cannot stop conversing in a jumbled and seemingly senseless manner.
Take my tea, sit down, breath- just breath in the morning for a moment. It is dark but I can still see outside, take in the fresh beauty of the day.
Breath.
Lord, this is a very full time for me. It is over unchartered territory and I am unsure of my steps. What do you have for me today?
Breath.
So many things to pray for- I am not even sure how to pray for everything.
Breath while handing each thing over to you, God.
One by one, giving each a name, a feeling.
It is still confusing, doesn't all make sense to me, feels out of control-my control. But I am more peaceful, content. I think this will be a full day of continual conversations with God. I will learn much today- of that I am sure.
I am a wife to a man who can do everything (Lovingly referred to as MacGyver), mom of 10 (1 married in, 1 almost married in and one adopted in) and a Nana to 4.
I am all about growing in Christ, family, handcrafts and the art of homemaking. My newest passion is knitting.
We live on a small homestead in NE Washington. Raising pigs, chickens and goats, growing a garden and revamping an older home.
