It's Been a Long, Dark Winter

Yes, I know it's the middle of July. But for me it's early spring. I'm finally coming out of the long dark season that has held me captive. Reawakening and seeing all things as new once again. God is so faithful that way. He holds us in the palm of His hand and is always ready to teach. He waits patiently for us to receive.

I am once again ready to learn.

It's fascinating that as soon as we look, we see the opportunities God has placed in front of us. I believe He always has a multitude of possibilities waiting for us. It is up to us to look for them. Just as Jesus said, "He who seeks will find." Amen!

A theme has been threading it's way through my head for several weeks. I have let the stresses of my everyday life accumulate until that is what is pouring out from me. We are to live and serve from the overflow of our hearts. Unfortunately, the overflow for most women is not love, but obligation and stress. So the result is not an outpouring of love, but of anger and resentment. This is where I have been living for over 2 years.

As I said, I am once again ready to learn. And live.
