Ready. Set. GO!

The speed of my life has not slowed down and with the New Year fast approaching there are no plans of the pace changing, if anything it will increase. The past two weeks I have been rushing here and there. And on my days off I’m still out and about getting all that is needed in our home. The weather is extremely cold and every time I step out I am reminded that my California clothes will not due. Thanks to my sweet friend Jean she has made life a little more comfortable and we are eternally grateful for her generosity. Our beds are warm thanks to the flannel sheets she sent us and I’m staying a bit warmer with the thermals that she also gifted.

Last week we had the first snow of the season and the girls and I were like kids….looking and playing in the snow as if we had lived in the Sierra Dessert all our lives, it was comical. But we have all found a comfortable routine and everyone does their part.

The busyness of my schedule posed a problem. My time with the Lord was not like before and I feared I would allow that to continue. One day while at work I was telling the Lord how much I missed our time together, He said “I’m here, we can spend time now” and that is what I did.

Later on my ride home on the bus the Lord showed me that just like a marriage when changes happen couples get creative on how they spend time together. He shared that my schedule will only increase with the New Year and that I need to embrace the thought and flow with it. He also said that “we” just need to find new ways of enjoying time together. I love my Lord and how He guides me through my new life here….I am not alone!

Psalm 31:23a-24
“Love the Lord, all His saints! The Lord preserves the faithful….”
“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.”
