The past year has been a struggle bus for me as I continue to wait on God.
Today I continue to pray for patience to surrender to His will.
You see during the pandemic, we were given a lot of time to spend with our families and loved ones. For me this was an extra blessing. I was given extra time in a variety of ways. God blessed my tiny but mighty family not just with time but with the miracle of life for each of my family members.
As I sit here this morning waiting for the hand of God to be revealed and the acceptance of that I still struggle. I struggle with all of this extra time. I am anxious to get back to my regular life, but I am also reminded that God is sovereign over it all. This morning as I go about my typical Saturday morning routine I'm trying to meditate on the knowledge that God is the author and finisher of my fate and the importance of looking for God's goodness in all things.
Today I am reminded that even though I may have a lot of ideas of how this world should be, God's grace is sufficient. I just have to remember to come before Him so He can quiet my mind and help me focus on Him. When I am with Him I am better able to dwell on His goodness, keep my eyes on the prize which is God and His will for me, and ride out the waves as He leads me forward.
One of my good friends said to me recently on a walk that she wanted to make sure she utilized the extra quiet time that she had been given a little bit better than the previous times. That was like a spark for me. Even though I have made a lot of resolutions and goals for myself and my family. I often get sided tracked by life and the possibility of excitement of meeting new people and seeing old friends. In this season of my life I want to pursue the dreams that God had given to me as a child. In order for that to happen I have to stay committed to the things God had already given to me, stay connected to Him, a daily practice of accepting God's will, and the art of staying discipline so I can stay focused on His goals for my life. All of those things involve a lot of Jesus power and taking tiny consistent leaps of faith every day.
Lord, give us the grace and the patience to see this through. Help us to accept your will for our lives and help us to stay in tune with you as we trust in You to see us through. Help us to glorify you in all that we do and fill us with mighty courage to fulfill your will. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Peace, Love, and Joy

Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
