Greetings!

I cannot believe it…we are nearing the end of the summer already. I know that we all have the same amount of time, but it’s like time is moving at warp speed lately. It's as if Christmas was just here and it’s almost Christmas time again…which, really isn’t bad since I love that time of year.  But, thinking about how fast time is going made me think about how I’m spending my time. I wonder sometimes if I am doing enough of the right things and less of the wrong things. I try to be a good steward of everything God has given me…including my time, but I’m feeling like I might not be doing as well as I should. When I get on that track and I begin to think about things that are best left to God, He has a way of showing me myself that always get me back on track. I thank Him for the way He watches over us.

Last week, God helped me see how all my “works” meant nothing if my heart was not in the right place. He also had to show me that as much as I would like to believe it—I was not in control. That actually took the pressure off. I didn’t have to feel like I needed to have all the answers. I could let go of those things that made me feel insecure and inadequate and put them in His hands. He showed me that if I was really going to seek holiness I was going to have to listen to Him and pay attention to what He was speaking to me. I’m so glad that He continues to teach us in the way we should go.  

This week, He is showing me Psalm 139, and I am seeing it in a way that I have never seen it before. Seeking to live a life that is rooted and grounded in Him means that we have to be on one accord. He has to know that He can count on me to do the things He is calling me to without having to prove Himself to me. I am realizing just how awesome it is to be in love with Him. He knows everything about me because He created me and I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Knowing that He watches over me is comforting. I love knowing that nothing about me is hidden from Him, and with Him I can be myself.

I know that His works are wonderful, and I know that full well…

Until next time…

Be blessed!
