Alot has happened in my life over the last several years. I stopped writing in this blog becuase I had told myself that I had nothing worthy to say. Well I guess I was right. I don't on my own have any magic words or profound thoughts. However, I'm praying that through me God can use this as a voice for His kingdom and for those who love the Lord. There must be other moms and wives who are struggling just like me.
Lately alot of not so great things have happened in my life. I've been faced with losing some very important people. Relationships are changing, some for the better and some that will never be the same again and will forever remain altered. Right now the situation seems bleak and on some days even impossible. I feel as though I'm in jeopardy of losing someone I love very much. I have to ask, how does God view my plight? Silly me I forget that He is right there beside me walking with me on my journey. He sees all and He knows all. It's me that's kinda short of information. I thought about the passage listed below from Psalms 31and I realized that as bad as my life seems right now there are many people out there who's hardships are much greater than mine. David experienced a great deal of distress in his life. At times he tried to "Handle" it, but he always returned to the truth that he believed to the core of his being, God was in charge of his life, and he knew he could trust God. There are to many times that I turn something over to God only to take it back at the first sign of trouble. I pray Lord that I can be more like David and never hold on to long.. and that I committ my circumstances and my concerns and my very life into your care. "Into your hands I committ my spirit" Ps 31:5; Lk 23:46
Psalms 31 9-16
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress.My eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief.My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning.My strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak.I am the utter contempt of my neighbors.I am a dread to my friends-- those who see me on the street flee from me.I am forgotten by them as though I were dead.I hear the slander of many.There is terror on every side.They conspire against me and plot to take my life.But I trust in you, O LORD.I say, "You are my God."My times are in your hands.Deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.Let your face shine on your servant.Save me in your unfailing love.Ps 31.9-16
