Keep Going

Good morning friends,

It has been almost two weeks since my last post. I have struggled during this time, stressing and feeling anxious about my work and family balance, wondering if I am on the right path. Honestly, this is something I have struggled with for years, since becoming a mom. I believe most women struggle with balancing everything on our plates. Our hearts pull us in one direction, and our heads another. Sometimes all I feel I can do is pray.

The Lord has blessed me and my family in so many ways. I know that He is with me no matter which path I choose in life. His love never fails. I often hear other Christians discuss how the Lord speaks to them. They seem so sure and certain that He is the one guiding them in a certain direction. I can’t say I have experienced this personally. I often think I get in my own way, but I do not want to be someone who projects my thoughts and desires as God’s plan for me.

One morning this past week, my alarm clock had just went off and I was barely waking. I have trouble pulling myself out of bed most days. But, as I lay there, still half asleep, two words were given to me - “Keep Going”. Now, I do not know if these were truly spoken to me or lingering thoughts from an unfinished dream. But, I am going to have faith that those two words are what I need to know right now. Keep Going.

We sometimes try to take back control over our lives and situations instead of trusting God’s control. He’s got this. He’s got us.

I often sit down to write about the my most recent scripture reading, and end up writing what is on my heart. I hope this reaches you, my friends, however God intends.

Love,

A.
