Look UP

We went to Rich’s house yesterday night and it was the most peaceful time. His house is up on top of a mountain and the view just blows my mind. I’m so in love with God’s creation! While we were with Rich we got to hear his story and it was such an encouragement to me to hear what he had to say. One of things that really stood out was that he came to a place in his life where God just said, “There is nothing great you can do for me, so stop trying.” It’s so refreshing to know that the weight of the world is not on your shoulders. I get so caught up in everyone else’s problems that I turn into a grey lump of mud. I even get caught up in my own problems. When all you at is the ground you’ll never see the sky.

 

All you will see is the dirt and the muck and you’ll have no idea that you can just step over it and move on. Craig is always telling me to calm down and I always need to hear it again. Now God is always telling me to calm down instead. I hope that Craig can have a break. My sister Cassie came to visit me this past week and she came right in the middle of the revival in Florida. She was shocked to say the least. God really rocked her world and I was soooo excited. God is amazing! But I found myself worrying in the midst of it all about what would happen when Cassie went home. It made me scared and upset. Again I was taking on the weight of the world and in this case it was Cassie’s world. What God has been telling me is to calm down. Letting go of my family has been one of the hardest things for me to do. I feel like I have to be their everything because no one else will. Trusting God with them is harder than trusting him with myself. But there is nothing great that we can do for God. There is nothing great that I can do for my family and they need something great. God is working on my heart. Praise the Lord for his grace! I love Jesus so much!
