IN THE LITTLE THINGS

I am going to be starting a new "theme" for my blogging(and pray that this time I can keep up). My new thing is IN THE LITTLE THINGS...Little changes that I am praying will in the long run make big differences. Each day, I am going to try and talk about a change and keep updating how that change is affecting my family, positively or negatively. I am doing this for a number of reasons. One of the reasons is because at times(a lot times lately) I feel very unmotivated and unhappy with my home, my children, my faith...you name it, I am struggling.

Something I have always longed for was the prioritized life that started out with FAITH, FAMILY, FRIENDS and Career. Faith has always been a big part of my life, but lately, I have seemed to fizzle away...I believe it, I pray it, sometimes I say it, but it hasn't seemed that my relationship with the Lord is how it needs to be. I neglect my daily quiet time and my children are lacking the kind of mother so deserve, a Godly one.

I listened to a message this morning, it was one of my father's from Bible Church in Cabot and it struck a cord with me. He said, "a little faith can send a soul to heaven, great faith brings heaven to the soul." He was quoting Charles Spurgeon I believe. I need some heaven in my soul, and being that heaven is all about worshipping and praising the Lord, my faith is crucial right now.

I am going to blog again later this evening, when my children aren't chasing each other around the house and I am not having to deal with an overflowing bathtub(more on that later!).

In Faith we follow,
J
