Thoughts Along the Way

Awakening
Please forgive me.
I know that it has been a long time since I have posted an entry. If you have found your way here, thank you for your patience. I just have not had much to say lately.
Life has gone on. Sam has had a birthday. Girls are growing and thriving. The air is cooler now, so the kids have been running around outside, hollering and chasing. It is good.
In October we found out that we are having another girl. :-) Her name is Ruthie Eloise and we are all looking forward to her arrival in March. I just cannot wait to smell her little fuzzy head and cradle her warm little body. But for now I enjoy feeling her soft jabs within my belly. There is nothing like it in all the world... to feel your little one moving around inside you.
This morning I was digging through the two books of Timothy trying to find the verses that instruct us to pray for our kings and those in authority over us. Finally I found them, (1 Timothy 2:1-4) but as I was skimming through the books of Timothy, I was realizing what a treasure trove these books truly are. There is so much in these letters that tell us how to live as Christians. I am feeling drawn to study these books. So, I think I should.
Here are the verses from Timothy that I was looking for:
1 Timothy 2:1-4
"I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, for He wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth."
I hope to be writing here more frequently, but I honestly can only write when I feel like I have something to say. I'm really still not sure how I feel about blogging and having my thoughts and activities out there for anyone to read and see. I certainly do not think that who I am or what I have to say is all that interesting. My desire is to share what the Lord is doing in my life, in the hopes that it will draw you closer to Him.
Let me close with two verses my sister sent my way this week:
Psalm 20:7
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
Isaiah 12:2
Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for the LORD God is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.
May His name be praised!
