Changes

We went on a little friends and family camping trip and we didn't stop all day until we laid down to sleep. I was so exhausted by the end of each day by the time all the kids were asleep I would pass out. We had tons of fun, adventure, and made lots of memories. We brought some of that adventure back home with us in the form of yellow fly bites. Lol!. I think everyone needs to take a little vacation at least once every 6 months. I would love to do it more than I get to but with 3 kids and one under 2 it makes things a little more difficult. We all get stuck in our daily routines and time away from routine is good for you! I always have a list of things I wanna change. I add and mark off changes to it all the time. When you break up your routine for a little while it makes it easier to make those changes when you get back home. Everyone has to readjust to a normal routine anyway so why not throw in a few new changes your wanting to make and scratch them off your list.

I didn't pick up my bible all weekend. Usually if I miss my morning "Jesus time", I will do it before I fall asleep but with being exhausted and busy I kept forgetting. I'm glad God never gets to tired or busy for me. :)I try to have that time with Him daily and most of the time I'm talking to Him constantly. I wouldn't survive sometimes without our talks Lol! Reading the Bible brings me closer to Him and it's the best handbook for all life's problems!

As I was waiting for my laundry to finish(and start another load), I picked up my bible and devotional to catch up. Oh how I missed it! My devotional stays on point to my life. I truly believe that God rearranged my devotional to give me what I need to know or learn for that day,week, or month. Some days I can read it and then pick it back up later that day to read again and it will change to something I really needed to hear. Thank you God;) Of course today was no different.The title "Change" exactly how I feel after a little time away from home.

When you and I say to God, "Change me," we better know what we're saying because we are not just going to wake up different the next morning. Instead, what God is going to do is give us an opportunity to grow as we change. We all know growing and changing can be tough. Not always learned on the easiest of circumstances. James 1 tells us how important it is to have patience when we're changing and facing opposition. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that only develops and grows under trial, and it's something we need. Patience..couldn't we all use just a little more. I know I can! Maybe that's why I face so many trials. I just haven't got patience down yet. Scripture tells us that when we have it, we're perfect and entire, lacking nothing. However, there's just no way to get it without going through something to receive.

If we really want to be victorious Christians who serve God and make a difference in the world, then we are going to have to go through some challenging things. The devil will try to scare you off, but God can see you through any challenge.

I've asked God to "change me" looking back to the first time I asked him. I can see all the challenges I've had to go through and how those challenges have made me grow and changed me. Most have been small changes in my life but I know that I'm coming up on one of my toughest challenges yet but with God on my side and knowing the direction I want my life to be in I know he will give me strength. Changes in life are hard. Sometimes we have no choice but to make them and other times we have to make them in order "to grow". I choose to let God work through me and with that choice I have to face challenges and make changes to grow closer to Him. So here I am writing this blog and ready to face tomorrow knowing he is gonna stand strong with me and I can do this. For all of you who are stuck on routine and not getting the fulfillment out of life you want. I'm telling you ask God "to change you" and then get ready......
