Today is my first Saturday off that I will make it a day of meditation and evaluation. It has been a long summer with so much coming at us that I have not had a chance to do so.
Some of the kids (teens) are sleeping in so the house is quiet as I hear 2 little ones whisper in the kitchen. My cup of coffee taste so rich and warm this morning. Is it because there is no rush and my soul is at peace of life. When you follow the Lords lead life is not easy and yet the peace just surrounds your life and soul making life seems so perfect.
Today will be a day that I will take note of what the Lord wants for our family. I am going to stop and read and pray and ask my Father for direction for all things. I think as a mother many don't understand how passionate we can be in all we do. I laugh to think that if people would see my list of dreams it has very little to do with things but relationships. I long to be a mother of Grace and Love. I want to hold my children and show them the Lord of Christ. I want them to feel loved and love others. I want to enjoy quality time with them reading, playing and sharing life. I want to love my husband and support his dreams like no one else. I want to make sure I am being the helpmate God intended for me to be.
So how do I begin to do this and tackle my list??? In the word....First comes my Father and time with him worshiping and learning from him. Time to reflect on the things that I have to give to him and have to confess. I have learned that he holds it all in his hands...TIME....our past and future. He holds our loved ones and who they will become and yet he allows me to be part of this gift. He holds me and how he will use me to complete this story.
Then comes the time in executing Gods plan by allowing his thoughts to become my thoughts. This is when I pray over my list and ideas. When I start and let the Lord finish his work. I become his tool!
So what is on my list today?
