Ok, I know... it's been quite a while since I have posted something new. Since summer has started, well, I guess you could say life has been challenging. There are things that always get in the way of those who are trying to serve the Lord and do good. The main ingredient is the Devil. I have to say that I have been in major war with the Devil since summer began. It would be safe to say that my summer so far, has not been what I planned, although there isn't much that is. God has a way of making things great, if I let him and with the Devil so close, it has been hard to walk down the right path.
Things are looking up though. They always do. And when I do, I know I am staring at the face of God. If I learn to lean on him for ALL things, life will be better. So with things not going as planned, I have been quite uninspired to create a post. I created this as a means to communicate my feelings about how the Lord is good and how to spread the word about Christ. I have seen many people here lately doing things that I wish I could be doing. But, after tonight's service, I am reminded that I am doing one of the most important things I can be... a mom!
Psalm 129 talks about the ways that we should be as parents. This is the time that I need to be spending with my boys and teaching them the ways of good and the ways of the Lord. I might not be going on a glorious vacation or going here and there, but I can be the best mom that I can be and teach my children about Christ. I see a difference when I talk to Devan about Jesus. When he is upset and throwing a fit, I talk to him about what would Jesus think about how he is reacting and he stops. Whereas when the Devil is there getting under my skin and making me frustrated at the situation, there really isn't a "winner".
So as I titled this "uninspired" that was really how I was feeling until now. But I must look at the life that I do have and all the things that are around me and see how those things can be an inspiration to me rather than a negative. So I am going to be more inspired by my children and all that God has brought into my life.
