Age is nothing but a number

27 is much like 26 except I spent the last week taking care of my nephew. It is very bittersweet. In the mornings after he is dropped off. I have him read a psalm and pray, I spent the day showing him the world or technology. I give him new words to learn and write. I have him draw or write. He actually eats what I make. It makes me long to have a kid around. Kids are such a blessing and mothering, true mothering is not for the faint of heart. To those who spend quality time with their kids, teaching them according to the word of God, seeking by the grace of God to be a godly wife and mother, I praise God for such women, knowing that it is a work of God. I am pleased to know women like that both single and married.

Letter to God

Dear God,

God who are we the dust to question your ways. Man is depraved and God-hating and we are sinners undeserving of any good things. Yet you do not withhold good gifts. Please forgive my unforgiveness and my impatience only you can change and teach the heart of man. Bad things happen and if we do not trust in your sovereignty and in You not working all things for good for those who love God. This world is cursed and it does not surprise me but it hurts to hear someone question You. God crush us that our hearts and minds be renewed.

To You be all the Glory,

Levita

Stray Thoughts

Its is so easy in idle moments for thoughts to delve into sin. The bible says to flee when temptation comes. Now there are preventative measures which are to rise, watch and pray, reading God's word, and much more. Sin is always nearby to cause stumbling, to injure believers, and to drive us away from serving God once a person is saved. Trust in the Lord, read His word, pray without ceasing, and be wary where you tread. To Jesus Christ be all the glory.

Learning to trust in God

God has been very merciful to me and He has placed me in circumstances where I can't rely on anything but Him. I can rely on people for they will fail me. I can't rely on plans because they will fall apart. My health will fail me. Me keeping a secret desire and withholding it from God will fail me. I am still learning to trust in God, to put all thing all worries before Him because He is the only one who can take care of me. Praise be to Jesus Christ.
