A Re-Evaluation.....

So, it's been a few days since I've been on.... I ran into a problem with the book that was shaking, well, everything. When I was led to this idea, I was in the search for a devotional and couldn't find one that I felt was right for me. From that I decided to do my own Bible study and write a book from my experiences. How quickly I forgot what I was being led to do.... Instead I started in on the book. I researched, don't get me wrong, which meant I was in God's Word a lot, but the rest of my life suffered and I was getting very stressed out. Thankfully, I was reminded the goal: for me to grow and then share my growth. It sounds selfish which might have been part of the problem (I rarely need "me time" and would not consider myself particularly selfish), but I feel on track now.

I have not given up on the book, quite the contrary, but I am not going to be posting how I'm writing. I'm going to be writing about what the Lord teaches me. I'm setting a little time aside every day and I'm going to read where the Lord leads in an effort to find my role as a Christian mother and wife. Today, I had a BIG shopping trip and a run to the pediatrician's (aparently it is possible for 17mo to drink Too Much water and eat Too many grapes which compound to cause diarhea) so instead of doing my own study I listened to the first two Romans lessons from Pastor Jim ( http://www.gcaarchive.com/ ). I still have a desire to write about salvation, and Romans is a great place to start, but I want to know about what I should do as a woman. So here's my new thought: I'll be listening to Brother Jim to learn more about Romans and where the key verses are I need to include while doing my own individual study on women. I think that is best and I'm really excited about it. Today was Romans, I can't wait to see where the Lord leads me tomorrow!
And now my little princess:



She's been doing this ADORABLE thing the last couple of days :) laying down, covering herself up (in mommy's bed), and giggling while playing peek-a-boo....Love That Girl!!!

See you tomorrow!
