This skirt makes me feel my heritage (but puppy fur loves it).
Mom is moved and settled, I officially have a new sister-in-law, I'm going to be the proud Aunt of a little boy (just found out the gender yesterday!) and I am now actually an apprentice shoemaker!
These are the current joys in my life though the seas have otherwise become stormy of late. God is still good (always, He is) and has been teaching, molding and building me to be who He designed me to be. Lately, my main comfort and prompt has been from Proverbs 4:25-27 which is an encouragement to keep my eyes straight ahead, to not be distracted from what is right in front of me. Personally, that's a huge reminder to get out of my head, and to allow my concerns and cares to rest in the hands of my Creator. We fret and try to control our existence, but all God ever calls us to deal with is the present.
Easier said than done, certainly. Good thing I serve a God who has lavished grace on me!

congratulations on becoming an aunt.
ReplyDeleteI like that, we try to control our existence. But there's no need to, God does.
Really needed to hear that today, thanks.
Hey Abigail, thanks! I'm glad you found some encouragement in that concept. :)
