I used to blog almost every day. I wanted to keep a record of our lives for my children. However, when my marriage took a negative turn I stopped blogging. I didn't want a record of sadness for my children to read. But, one day I realized that there were so many happy things I wasn't recording so I started blogging again.
I have purposed in my heart, with God's grace, to not allow anything to separate me from my commitment to the Father through His son Jesus Christ. This is a difficult task to complete on my own. However, God doesn't leave us without help. I have placed the bible on one side of me, God's Holy Spirit on the other, faith pushing me forward, and Jesus right in front of my vision. As blinders keep a horse from becoming spooked, so God equips me to press forward towards Him. I praise Jesus that when I do miss the mark, His blood covers me completely. Unmerited grace... pass it on!
Father, I have leaned on my own understanding too many times. I have sought the advice of others before you. I have looked for the path that seems easier to me rather than asked your will. Please forgive me. I want nothing more and nothing less than to be in the center of your will for me. I want NOTHING to come into my life that you have not ordained. I beseech you to do whatever it takes to keep me from slipping unto my own understanding. Help me to not be lured away by things that seem to sparkle if they are not your will for me and my two sons.
Let my ears always hear your voice telling me which way I am to walk. Restore my heart so it would always desire to press towards you. Fill me with your Holy Spirit that you might enable me to live for you.
Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, "This is the way; walk in it."
