I am at work and the babies are sleeping so I decided to write a little! Don't have much on my mind but I wanted to share what God has been teaching me lately. He has been teaching me a lot about who He is and His character. And not only who He is but how that affects living my life. I have been struggling a lot with just feeling apathetic... I have been going through the book of Genesis. I just decided I was gonna do it- no particular reason. I just finished the book of numbers and LOVED it so I thought I would stick with another Old Testament book. I wanted to re-read all the stories I have heard about a thousand times and really study them, know them like I haven't before. Its neat to read something you have heard before and see things you never have before. I love Genesis. The beginning of everything. The first interactions with God and His people. Seeing God's love for HIs people, His judgment of evil, and His redemptive power! It shows all aspects of Gods character and I love it- so beautiful. God has been tugging at my heart lately... I have been seeking Him like never before and yet some how feel stagnant in my relationship with Him. I feel like I am not moving and that my desire is getting cold. I went to God. I have been seeking Him yes but I realized that as I talked with my Savior I haven't been doing. I have been all about myself and my relationship with Him. So I just gave it to Him and whatever He wants me to do, I am here. I want to join Him in the work He is doing... A lot of times I pray for things just like that. "God, whatever you want me to do, just show me." But I have come to learn that God is always working and if we are in tune with Him and His purposes, we don't need to look far. He won't have to show us- we will know what His work is. In everyday activities, God is working. At work, school, home, everywhere! I can already see a change. I realized some areas I need to change. I am Praying for genuine love in my relationships with people, patience and peace in my job, a servants heart at home, a passion and stronger commitment with my Fusion group and a positive attitude daily. I pray that whatever I am doing I will be doing it unto the Lord and not men. Also, I want to serve more- anywhere and for anybody- I just want to give of myself! Well I would love to talk more but the babies are waking up- lots to do! Just wanted to give a little update! BYE!
