Hey Girlfriends,
I have really missed chatting with you!!! My life has been a whirlwind since I got a "part-time" job (25-32 hours per week) at the end of summer last year. It has been a blessing providing some financial relief, but at the same time it left me with very little margin. Because of that I had to cut out some things and not having the mental energy to blog it was one of the first to be let go.
Fortunately I was able to cut back on hours for the summer and I am now just beginning to feel as though I am awaking from a heavy fog of fatigue that oppressed me continually. It's late at night and I am writing my first post in months....hmm...I guess the fog will be back tomorrow. If it is, it will be well worth it!!! I've missed sharing my random, heartfelt, sincere thoughts.
Friends, I do have so much to share and will share this more fuller soon, but before I go to bed I want to leave you with something to think on. The Lord has burdened my heart with a verse:
"I
have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10b (NKJV)
Girlfriends, my hearts desire is that each one of us would experience the abundant life that Christ spoke of!!! I'm not saying a pain free, trial free, easy life. I'm saying a life that is rooted in the knowledge of Christ and the depth of His love so that despite the daily trials and sufferings there is a deep abiding joy!!! The kind of life that knows the comfort of the Spirit and comforts others with the same comfort they received....the kind of life that does not look at what is seen, but the unseen and places her hope in the eternal. Girlfriend, that's my prayer for you and for me!!!
I need to go to bed, but I will write more on this soon...for my heart is filled with a burning desire for us to get this!!!
