All over the place

It's been a month since my last blog and I don't know where I have been. We have been busy. We have been enjoying being a family. But I haven't been where I need to be, at the same time. My life is so wonderful right now. The love I feel for my husband is above and beyond, the love and adoration I feel for my son is more enveloping than words can express....but I am lacking in my love for the Lord. I have found it so difficult to keep up on my Bible Study and I am definitely not getting the fellowship that I need. I feel like some of my biggest and greatest prayer requests that I can ever remember having aren't being answered and in my frail and weak human mind, I want the answers and direction now......not when it truly is the appropriate and perfect time and place.

I have put on some weight since we have moved and I am feeling very uncomfortable in my skin, both physically, but also mentally and emotionally as well. So, I posted a quote on Facebook and in true and typical God fashion, it has been in my face and everywhere I turn ALL DAY LONG! The quote was "If you want something in your life to change, you have to change something in your life."

Biggest Loser smacked me in the face, reminding me that to get healthy again it needs to be a priority before it is a situation that takes more than just monitoring my food and exercise. Health problems run in both Ben's and my families and we don't want to pass that heavy burden onto Connor when we can break the cycle. I read my Bible Study, Power of a Praying Parent" this morning and it smacked me in the face, reminding me that just because I have been saved doesn't mean I slack off. "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:12-14.

I need to be the change I want to see. Is something lacking in my life? Be the change!
