i do not normally blog twice in a day, but today has been different. i woke up deeply burdened for other mothers in my life. had sweet time with my Jesus. busy and productive day. worked this evening--had a southern living at home party.

on the way home, i turned off the radio filled with christmas music and rode home in silence. talking a loud, at times, to the Lord. i am too blessed. i am HIS daughter; i am righteous in HIM; i will live eternally with HIM; He is so longsuffering and loving toward me; HE IS SOVEREIGN; He is using me despite my faults; etc... all this and more flooded our conversation. i praise Him for HIS WORD.

God has so worked in my life the last couple of months. let me re phase, i have finally let go and allowed the Lord to work as He wants in my life. i have been so use to knowing all the right answers (due to my christian background growing up)that i did not dig deep in His word to challenge myself.

two months ago, i craved something more from the Lord and did not know what it was. He is now revealing to me what it is -- just let go of it all and believe Me. He wants me to have complete freedom in Him.

being a wife, mother, mentor, friend, sister, daughter, cook, cleaner, teacher, nurse, etc.. having so many roles can be tough. i am not that great at any of my roles. it is so comforting to know, i have the Lord to be all that for me--when i allow Him to be. each moment of each day, my goal is to give Him complete control and believe He can and will do it.

i am "overly organized/planner woman" to say the least. this is a BIG lesson for me to let someone else take complete control. i can do all things through Christ.

i really desire that life abundant. i do not want just the plain 'ol life. i do not want to miss one blessing the Lord has for me. which i realize our life is not "plain 'ol", however, i want it to be so radical that JESUS radiates to all. a life that just points completely to Him.

Lord, today was great! it was tough and busy. i am tired, but it was great. thank you for showing yourself to me. You know just what i need right when i need it. thank you for bringing Your Word alive in me. help me to stay focused on You. i love you, Lord.
