I have so many thoughts racing around in my head that I want to post. There are a ton of pics in my camera that "need" to get out. I created this blog as a way to show pictures and give updates to friends and family who are not here with us in Indiana. It has proven to be such an outlet for me as well. It has been a nice place to organize my daily life and thoughts into tidy, semi-coherent blurbs that I can look back on. The last few days for us here at the E house have been busy with holiday decorating and planning. Instead of late nights blogging and surfing the internet, I have been doing late night shopping and never ending holiday decorating! This is the first Christmas we will be here in the Indiana house and it is like we are starting from scratch. I love celebrating our Saviour's birth - it seems I always want to maximize the season to the fullest extent in every way.
These words of Beth Moore stood out to me and I wanted to share them:
"It's so easy to cry out to God 'Heal my child. Fix my circumstance,' and not that these prayers are wrong, but if my motivation for my relationship with God is what He can do for me, a lust for His power may grow, but His greatest joy is to hear them flow from the mouths of those who want Him more than anything else He could give."
A humbling reminder once again that it is not all about me! :0) My prayer this week is that my motivation will be to give Him glory and that I will ultimately find peace in giving up "my way" and simply resting in His good and perfect will!
I was just reminded that I never posted mom's caring bridge link here. So TA DA - there it is.
Please stop in and sign the guestbook if you get a chance. Thank you so much for your faithful prayers!
