Sidetracked!!

Sometimes it is so easy to get sidetracked by this thing called life, that we forget what it is that the Lord has called us to be.

To be lights, that shine forth the reality of who He is and what He is doing in our lives, even in the midst of the storms and changes.

As you have noticed, I have really been lax in my posting daily as I am out and about and the Lord tapped me on the shoulder this morning to remind me what this is all about.

It is about the Lord and His leading me through this time of my life and my sharing the ups and downs, the joys, the hurts, the laughter and the sadness, but most importantly the hope that is within, that it is all about Him.

The Lord indeed has restored unto me the joy of His salvation and reminded me of the peace that He has given me. I have been down a little, as part of family, my oldest daughter Gloria, her husband, Sheridan and the grandkid’s, Rebekah, Jordan and Keian head back to Texas this week and I will indeed miss them very much.

Seems like June was not the best of months for me, because it reminded me of 29 years of marriage, 2nd year of divorce. Thirty years of what was part of my life gone with the stroke of a pen!

It has been a hard battle to not be bitter, angry with God, because I didn’t understand the why of everything, but in losing all, I have come to the realization of the importance of Christ in my life.

That we indeed can walk in the strength and power of the new life in Him. He gives us the strength that is needed to walk this path called life.

Be blessed my friends.

Take time to love your families, remind yourself how blessed you are and trust the Lord to be the anchor that holds it all together!
