I must admit to a need to catch up on some "Ann" reading. We load our truck to move to Cape Cod tomorrow, Saturday. You'd think I would be so ready in so many areas of life. I must admit to a distracted form of existence lately. Somehow placing life in boxes AGAIN is not my forte. I have read Traci's blog a couple of times recently...DISCIPLINE... jumps right out at me. My spiritual life has retreated to a quiet corner and I have forgotten to look for the blessings each day. I just thought all would happen naturally. Some things do; most need a disciplined nature I had simply let go of. AND God is still faithful! Thank you, Traci.
A recent devotion spoke to me of the "Mary, Martha" conflict. In my efforts to maintain a spiritual life and practical life at the same time and not concentrating on either...nothing seemed successful. AND God is still faithful! How does this all happen so quickly? Just when you think you have it....I have come to the conclusion God allows these seasons so I will remain dependent on Him. He knows I have not gone far and I sure do need Him. It's a relief in a way. The return path means discipline and prayer and thanksgiving. I like being Mary and I like being Martha just not at the same time.:)
I do not like a life without Him or with Him in the shadows. I intend to take His lead. I pray for focus and vision and patience from a great God. AND still He is faithful. Amazing!!!
Love and blessings,
I see Nan left bread crumbs from the Cape back to Ohio...just follow the trail. I would love to have you!
