Lately, I have been feeling a little less than great. The world, life, and love have all been laying heavily on my shoulders. So, I haven't written in awhile. Today that changes.
Many wonderful things have happened that I've missed the chance to share and linger over. I don't want to let a couple discouragements move me from the amazing work God is doing in my life. I am so blessed, at times it brings me to my knees in awe and gratitude.
First, I am developing wonderful friendships with people who understand me and everything I want to be. I don't have to feel like I need to hide or under-exaggerate the new love of my life, Jesus Christ. They just get it. They just get ME. I have true friends I imagine will grow to be life long friends, and the most amazing mentors and supporters. For the first time in a long time, I have a guiding and encouraging force in my life from people who can move me in the RIGHT direction. What a blessing God's love is when working through God's people. As a unit, we are unstoppable, I truly believe it.
Secondly, my girl accepted Christ into her life yesterday at the age of 6! It brings me so pride and indescribable joy to my heart to know she will have God with her always. She told me she prayed to Jesus to wash her heart clean - how precious. I love her so much and pray for continued growth and understanding of our God and his word. I want her to live an amazing Godly life and be a driving force of our Lord's love in her generation. God has given me this sweet, innocent life to raise up in Him - I am loving the chance at making that happen. We've been working on prayer at home, it makes her a little uncomfortable and she doesn't know what to say, but she has the Holy Spirit on her side now. I will just keep praying over her and I know one day soon she'll have the confidence to do it on her own or chime in on mine.
I just love what God is doing in my family's life. Both Marilyn and Skylar have accepted Jesus and we go in for a Baptism class on Wednesday evening. If all goes well and they feel they are ready they will be baptized on Sunday! How amazing :) Praise God!
