I was super tired yesterday so I didn't even look at the laptop yesterday night. I will keep going strong even if I don't blog everyday. So with that outta the way, here's what I've been discovering the last 2 days.
God really does show up in amazing ways. To some people the ways I've been blessed lately may be viewed as coincidences but I know better! It's been in small ways like thinking I want to hear a specific song on the radio, then I literally hear it immediately. I've also been blessed in bigger ways. God has taken a few of my frustrations & concerns and relieved them (a few in very specific ways that blew me away).
One struggle I have is overcoming my past. I have to give this over to God on a daily basis. Sometimes numerous times a day. I know it will get easier. I just keep forgiving myself and focus on how far I've come and am so completely grateful that I am not that same person. God is showing me my true beauty and worth and for me to see that now is a testament that I am NOT that same woman from my past. I'm washed clean, forgiven and a beautiful creation and I BELIEVE it. I do have days where it's harder to believe but my wonderful husband reminds me daily by telling me how gorgeous I am. Well he doesn't like to be called a liar and neither does Jesus. So it's a work in progress that is coming along nicely.
Last night I shared my quiet time with my family. We all prayed together and then I prayed over my children and husband. It was so nice to share it with them. I hope to share the time with them again soon. I truly am blessed with great kids. They love being at church (esp. kids church). My husband and I are praying regularly that they will be strong in their faith and be bold for Jesus. They've even invited some neighbor friends to VBS next week. I am so proud of them.
Thank you Jesus for the wonderful family You've given me. Please help me to be an example for what a Godly mother should be. I pray that my children stay grounded and strong in You and help shed some of Your light into the world.
In Jesus' name, Amen!
Peace, Love & Blessings!
Nikki
