This is the Bible... Day 2 SRT

Psalm 119:1-32

• To walk in Your ways, to function at all times according to Your word. 
• Keep your eyes OPEN, His word opens our eyes. 
• I will RUN in the way of your laws, as you ENLARGE my heart. Focus my heart in on YOU. 

Isaiah 55:1-9

• Why do you spend money on that which is not bread and labor for things that do not satisfy? Wow. 
• We are HUMAN and we will never think and function as the LORD does. His ways are always HIGHER than ours, and His thoughts are HIGHER than our thoughts. May we ever be aware of this fact. 

There is such freedom in the fact that it is ALL ABOUT HIM. It is not about us and our glory or our perfection or lack there of. It is ALL ABOUT HIM. We need to allow HIM to use us in His story. but we are free to just be used by Him to bring His glory about here on earth. There is no pressure to be the leading lady or the star, because it is all for HIM. 

Gratefulness Day 1...

This is a season of thankfulness. A time of year designated in America for gratefulness. Thank You Lord that you orchestrated this holiday season to slow us down and make us reflect. Even though we should be in this attitude all year long, You know we are not. We struggle, we are so selfish, we are so spoiled.
Me and my family are in such unfamiliar territory right now (literally and figuratively). We are 700 miles away from our family, in a city that we felt You calling us to through a new job opportunity for Dylan. We moved here to Nashville back in February, moved into the home of our dreams in May, and as of a month ago Dylan is without a job.
We have plenty to be confused about, worried about, scared about, anxious about, plenty. But this is not the season of worry or anxiety, at least it shouldn't be. Yet, I let myself CONSTANTLY dwell there. It is not where I want to dwell. Starting today, I am choosing gratefulness.

Inspired by a sweet friend of mine's blog, I am going to write a letter to my God everyday this season to tell Him what I am grateful for. Starting today...

Father,
Thank you for my husband. You brought him into my life and I never thought I would meet a man like him in this world. He is the most kind, most real, most sincere, most loyal, most godly man. I cannot believe we are where we are, here in Nashville, together with our 4 children, it makes me smile just thinking about it. He is such a seeker of You Father, please bless his seeking. Please bring him a job. OK, back to being grateful. I am so thankful to be in a marriage relationship with someone I trust with my whole heart. Thank You Father. Thank You for Dylan.

Rough week...

It has been a rough week. It is our second week as residents here in TN, and it just started out Monday really rough. I was just in a bad mood. I am never really in a bad mood for no reason, so I was kinda weirded out by myself honestly.
   School was not easy, Lyric is SO emotional and non obedient right now, and August is not sleeping good during the day. OH and Dylan has been out of town this week, and he will be leaving again in a few days. And we are in an apartment that creeps me out at night and our upstairs neighbors are TERRIBLY loud and I swear they drop 20 pounds weights on the ground and make me jump out of my skin! and it wakes up my baby!
   God I need you, God I NEED you NOW! That is all I know to say. I need scripture to breath life in where there is worn out and tired barely hanging on life. I need you Lord, NEED YOUR LIFE GIVING GRACE AND MERCY.
