My word is "be ...I am moving forward in this! My word is "be still." I fell like i have made some changes but for someone whose word is "be still" I am really trying to see what God is teaching me without having to see results. I know that God is changing my heart cause I am seeing my life as a wife and mom differently and the grace is there and has been there to change. Thankfully, this is my word for the YEAR. =0) I am loving what God is doing and I am so thankful!cooperkelly4https://www.blogger.com/profile/02849137566164878759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790273135643270641.post-77723927084911567402011-03-02T22:03:07.993-05:002011-03-02T22:03:07.993-05:00So glad for the reminder!
Three areas that I real...So glad for the reminder!<br /><br />Three areas that I really wanted to pursue were thankfulness, diligence (specifically with keeping my home), and being gentle. I've started keeping a gratitude journal as well, and the amazing thing about it is that it's causing me to LOOK for graces and gifts, to be more aware of them, and to realize that God is in the details of life! <br /><br />I've really been working on creating new habits with regards to keeping my home (Large Family Logistics has really helped!!!). The biggest blessing to come from this - in addition to a more peaceful environment - is that Hubby has noticed. The other night he said to me, "I see what you're doing - I see how hard you're working to keep things clean and orderly, and I really appreciate it." Hallelujah!!!<br /><br />And as for gentleness, God has brought me a long way in this area, where I don't get so easily frustrated and I watch my tone with my children - "a soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up strife." (Prov. 15:1). One of the translations of "harsh" is painful. I don't want my words to cause my loved ones pain, I want to build up and encourage! I'm so thankful for how the Holy Spirit has changed me in this area!Cobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704408483741211604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790273135643270641.post-58934127218729912102011-03-02T18:33:32.342-05:002011-03-02T18:33:32.342-05:00Thank you Michelle, for the reminder! It is March...Thank you Michelle, for the reminder! It is March now, with Spring in the air, and things do tend to start slipping if they haven't already. I love your word of relentlessly Pursuit. Pursuing God and Godliness is a daily challenge and yet, the most important priority!! Yes, prayer is a biggy for me. To find, or make the time for prayer times, just as Jesus did... and David... and Daniel...etc. Specific times! That is my biggest challenge. <br /><br />Would love to read an update on how you are doing.<br /><br />Keep Pursuing,<br />ShellieSaint Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001503910326556989noreply@blogger.com
