A Season of Joy
Monday, January 19th, 2009It seems that I have spent more time on the hardships and troubles we have had these past few months than the joy that we have experienced. I never realized what an amazing job being a mom is. I am humbled by the task many days that the Lord would allow me to take care of two of His children. It comes with a lot of tears and laundry 
This past month Ross and I have realized just how blessed we are, and how we have taken it for granted. I know that I search for joy in the wrong places, a full night’s sleep, a new outfit, a cookie… but those are all fleeting. What’s funny is I know it, but I still have yet to learn it. God is truly working in my life as I focus on Him and not my circumstances each day. This season of joy as I call it is my new driving force…I want to be a person whose heartbeat is one of joy and not frustration.
I want my children to know that Jesus is the only way we can fully live, without Him in our lives, we are constantly searching for joy. I have been truly convicted of this.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understandings. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.”
