The past week has been a whirlwind, but so full of His goodness.
Thursday of last week, I taught alongside a great woman of God for two days. We shared material from Lisa Bevere's, "Girls with Swords" book. Such amazingly powerful stuff. Life changing, if we are willing to grab onto the truth in the words. Such a privelege to teach the word of God. I don't take it lightly, that's for sure. Unqualified? Chief of sinners? Broken? Yes. But He's making me beautiful. And He loves to use broken things for His glory.
My mom, stepdad, and three sweet friends also decended into Amarillo for a visit. My heart is so full!
I have heard it said that if you can count your true friends on one hand, you should consider yourself blessed. I believe it.
I believe you appreciate your "people" more when you don't see them every day. I used to take that for granted. They are gifts to us. I see that more clearly these days.
So very grateful for the relationships that God gives. He loves us, oh how He loves us.
Lastly, I have been praying about jobs. I have an online etsy shop, and it has been a blessing to our family for sure. But I have felt the pull to pursue employment outside of the home. It's a big step for me, and I'm super excited about it. I start one of two (part time) jobs on Saturday, and will begin the other next week. I LOVE people, and can't wait to get out there and let my little light shine :)
There's always enough in Him. Abide. Always enough. Even when I feel dry, and alone, and empty. Even when the hard times come. And when it feels my prayers hit the ceiling. I remind myself that He is present, always listening, doing what is best for me.
Always enough. Life more abundant.
Grateful!

Wonderful blog, Crista! I've always believed that whatever you set your heart on, and are willing to work hard for it, you'll eventually get it. I've learned lately, that's not always true.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the jobs. Hoping working two jobs won't wear you out too much.
Thank you for lifting my spirits.
