For those of you who have not totally given up on me, thank you. I have not been around. I have not blogged in months, nor have I even checked in for quite a while. This summer has been rough. There have been challenges that have been big. I have been driven to my knees multiple times. I have found that is where God wants me. He wants me reaching for His Word like my life depends on it. He wants constant communication with Him. It is a good place to be. There are still many challenges and they can not be shared in detail on here. I will have to think of another way to share on my blog. Maybe share more about having a child with a disability or maybe share more about the stage of life where your children are leaving the nest. We will see.
I will tell you about one HUGE change in our house. Cheney Alan is at college now. He left in the middle of August and that has been a huge adjustment for everyone. Our house is so quiet, it is hard to take. We find ourselves wondering what in the world to do with our time. Frankly, I sit around a lot. I can not seem to get out of this speed. I used to have so much to do, I rarely had time to take a break. Now it is hard to get motivated because I have such a slow schedule. I am working more and that is good. I know I will get used to the slow schedule and will take on more projects, but probably not today:)
God is growing His flock. It seems this must be done, this stretching and pulling of our faith. As I watched my dad the last few weeks of his life I was encouraged to see him not only encourage us to hold on to Jesus, but to hold onto Him himself. He finished well. What a blessing. I pray I might finish well too. In the meantime I must let go in order to allow Him in.
ReplyDeleteI love you!
Hugs Heather. I know what you mean. This spring and summer was so full of dr appointments with Kyler and now not so much I dont have the desire to clean my house. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHeather,
ReplyDeleteI was just talking to Paul about the difficulties in getting motivated ... My life used to be dictated by constant needs, I used to long to have "more time". Now I have loads of time and I'm not quite sure what to do with it all =)
The one huge blessing is that I no longer have to try hard to find time to spend with God. I think this is a resting time for me ... perhaps for you too. Rest in Him, you are probably due
Love,
Tina
Well, I know where you were on October 8!! My house was clean when you were here, and it's been getting dirtier ever since. It's easy to get lazy about cleaning since I live alone (for now).
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to your blog!
Heather, glad to read in a more previous post that things are better. Are you looking forward to the holidays?
