Life Is As Tough As You Make It.


God has really been working hard in my heart and my mind. I feel it everyday and especially in every rough situation I go through. The past two or three days have been rough for me. My mind always like to wonder and think of every worse case scenario that could happen. I rebuke that because I know that's the devil trying to bring me down.
Prayer has been the only think that kept me sane this past weekend. I had so many people praying for me and I felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. Along with prayer comes trusting in God. We must ultimately trust in Him that He will do everything right in our life; which of course He always does. (If we allow Him to)
John 10:3 says 'The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.'
If we listen to God, He already knows us and all of our worries, so we can trust in Him. 
John 10:10 says 'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.'
The enemy is clearly-this world that we live in. Anyone who lives of this world will only always disappoint. The world has nothing to promise us that won't lead to failure. By putting our full trust in God, we can be sure that we will never be let down.

Just like my last post talked about putting all of your trust in The Lord; we can't go wrong with that decision. It has changed my life! Letting God have full control over every situation in my life has made my life so much more simpler. I don't have to worry about the little things that use to take over my life. Now when I have a tough situation thrown in my face I can easily ask God to take control and I don't feel that sense of worry anymore. 

Life is only getting easier. I'm able to except what life gives us. It's easier for me to understand I don't have control over this life I'm living; it's all in God's hands. If He is going to put me in a spot where I feel is very tough for me, I know I can just trust God. He has a reason for putting certain things in my life and even if I don't understand it right now, I know it will all make sense in the end. I am not here to impress anyone. I'm living this life to proclaim who my God is and to share what He is surely doing in my life.

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assem...
