Returning To Love

So now, come back to your God. Act with love and justice,and always depend on him.

Hosea 12:6 (NLT)


I had been given the idea for a blog like this one recently, and because of a post on my sister-in-laws website, I decided to drop the 4 letter work (complacency) and actually do it. Last night in prayer, I was given the title of my blog.

This is my journey. My personal journey with Christ. This blog will be the scripture and study I am given, even in my young walk with God. Thankfully, I have the Holy Spirit as my guide and God is my love!


So on with it:

The other day I read a bloggy on my sister-in-law's site about the Proverbs 31 woman. Wow, what a reminder! I felt really spoken to, a reminder about the hopes and dreams I had not too long ago as a wife and mother, and a Child of the Living God. How gently He reminds us at times to look for Him! And how sweet it is to be able to come back into His arms at the blink of an eye! It would take me a long time to go into how far I had gone off from the path, but in all honesty it doesn't even matter. What is important is that I am here now, and that God's graces and mercies are renewed every single day and that our God is the God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow - never changing and never failing!

He has called me to do many things, of the most important is to follow Him. But in regards of being that Proverbs 31 woman, well it begins with starting my day between 4 and 5 am...cooking breakfast for my husband and children, seeing them off to school.

Now for those who know me will say that action is the most UNCHARACTERIST of all things for me to be doing. I happen to love my sleep thank you very much. And cooking? Hahahaha, I'll cook dinner, but to be up and making breakfast is a good joke. And as far as walking Dayna to the bus, well that has not happened since we moved to our current duty station.

I did it though, I did it. I had my Dunkin' Dougnuts coffee (No Starbucks for this chica) ready, and breakfast made this morning. I think my kiddos were reeling in shock when I got them out of bed, greeting them with pancakes and bacon. Ha! And to have their clothes ready, walking the little ones to their seperate buses, then having my house completely clean before noon - that my friend, is God and God alone.

My daughter looks at me this morning and says, "uh, Mommy? Are you going to make breakfast for us more often?" I could only smile; if I could even begin to convey to them how much God has wrapped me in His arms right now then they would have understanding!

Thank you Jesus, thank you so very much for loving me and for just being a patient and loving and just Lord!
