~One womans journey into discovering Gods created purpose for Women.~

"...but for Adam, there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed." Genesis 2:20a-25

Currently

I am currently walking through a season in my life where I am being refined, tested and tried in so many different areas.  As it all started, I really didnt think it would be a long season -whoa! was I wrong! 

This journey in discovering Gods created purpose for women -for me- I am realizing more and more how every aspect of our lives is affected by this relationship with Him.  Even more importantly is that I am realizing more and more that He cares intimately about every aspect of my life and it is that intimacy that brings my relationship with Him to a whole new level. 

Currently I am:
Learning how to mother a pre-teen.
Growing as a mother of 4 (vs 3 -it really is different!).
Practicing the hard "art" of submission to my Husband and Gods Word.
Being convicted about time management but not sure how to move forward.
Learning how to deal with anger in a Godly way. 
Trying to finish a school year for the pre-teen. 
Incredibly burdened for the lost in my life. 
Nursing a broken heart for a friend who is suffering greatly. 

There are so many "little" areas in my life where God is working.  Some of them are big in and of themselves but mostly it is just the overwhelming picture of all of it at once that gets to me some days.  I am also learning that -just as I tell my kids- we need to take it step-by-step and moment-by-moment.  Focus on one thing at a time and do that one thing with excellence.  Then move on to the next thing and do that one thing with excellence.  Gods grace will cover all the rest.

    I just came back to your blogs, and, reading this, I felt your weight. It does sound like you are going through some refining. That's a good thing, but sometimes it doesn't feel like it. I have those times too. You have my prayer support.
