Now, we're going through the study, Draw Near to God. Click HERE if you'd like to download it at no charge.
It's been a good study. I find it extremely helpful to hear how the Scripture applies to these other seven ladies' lives.
Lately, I've been going through a bit of a struggle -- a struggle in my heart and in my mind.
I don't want to vague, but at this point, I'm not ready to share this personal struggle publically on this blog.
BUT, I will state publically that through this study and my own private quiet times with God, I have been taught many things. I have been shown many things. I'm coming to realize that I'm not abnormal.
I'm just in a season of life right now that isn't quite as carefree (for lack of a better term) as it used to be.
But, God is so good. He never fails me. He never leaves me. He always continues to show me His goodness -- despite the fact that I'm a bit of a mess right now. And really, we're all messes all of the time. I just happen to be a M.A.J.O.R. mess right now.
I've always been told this, but I'll say it again....If you are currently NOT routinely in God's word, do it immediately. It's an amazing experience.
Today, I was reading through some scripture. I came upon a verse in Psalm 119.
It describes how pain can be used in a good way -- and this case, it's my mental anguish that is causing my pain.
It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. Psalm 119:71
Another verse that is helpful right now to me...just a page over from this last verse....
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. Psalm 119:37

And on a completely, much lighter note....Our meal plan for the week (a day or two late)....

Sarah, I can relate. I too have been going through a struggle that I have yet to share on my blog. We just keep on truckin'.
Send me an email if you want to share. Hugs!
It's hard to be a Christian, to keep following God's Word, in this oh-so-human world. From personal experience... it DOES get easier as you get older. Hang in there while you learn and listen to Him. Keeping you in prayer for whatever is heavy in your heart, hon!
