As I was washing dishes the other day the realization hit me that I am blessed beyond what I can imagine and it is causing me to have a lack of dependence on the God that has blessed me so richly. All of the complexities and comforts of life have made it so that I have lost the need to be dependent on God. Its not that I don't desire to be dependent on God, but rather that its not a daily thing that I feel that I need. Now let me make clear for those of you that are concerned for my faith that I'm no wheres near losing my faith in God that's not the problem. Rather the problem is that I am so blessed by God and am so comfortable in my life, that my daily reliance on God for the simplest of things is severely lacking. I am extremely grateful for all the things God has spoiled me with, but a small part of me desires to go back to a time where the internet didn't exist, horses were the main mode of transportation, heaters were wood stoves, and telephones were a rarity. Granted my reliance on God even then might have issues, but then at least I wouldn't have the excuse of having an easy life to blame it on. ;-) I realize that many of you don't have this same issue, but for those of you that do have this issue know that you're not alone. God is still working in me to create the woman that He sees. May He bless you all as richly as he has blessed me. In other news I thought you all might like to see the progress on the new barn!

It has heat in it now, and fans were put in today!!! It is super exciting to see how God continues to bless and see this project to completion!!!
Love to you all,

It is always super convicting and challenging to me to think that Jesus was the most dependent man who ever lived. He relied completely on God for everything in life.
ReplyDeleteThe barn looks fantastic!! You guys have done such an awesome job with what God has called you to at this point in your lives!!
