Have you ever sensed God was especially near as you are just going about your daily activities - diaper changing, feeding, endless laundry and negotiating between siblings? Have you ever had moments of worship as you watched your children playing, singing, praying, or sleeping? Have you ever taken a breath and thanked God for the strength to keep up with your family? I have. It's not because I've been fasting and praying, and having overwhelming, inspirational, hour-long devotions everyday! It just must be because God gently leads those of us who have young children.
At times I have an overwhelming sense that God is helping me here in the daily routine. It’s not to my credit the day is going so well, or that plans are falling in to place! He’s gently leading me!
I’m so thankful for his Divine hand that guides and I’m eternally grateful that he gently leads you and I to know Him better.
I love this verse! I'm so glad you started this "thinking out loud" blog. You make me think too (and sometimes I forget to think, so this is good ;)).
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice. I have been encouraged many times, and even convicted at times, with what you have to say, so I too enjoy your "thinking out loud"!!! Keep it up, and may God bless you and continue to lead you and strengthen you as you work for Him at home, and in the community.
