Look at that! A year has almost passed since I last wrote. I think I was having a hard time just writing about my life...seemed so....vain. But now I have a new look on it and I will be writing....hopefully. I would really like to journal how God is at work in my life and the lives around me. I want to be so aware of His presence...but often I get so distraction by the "noise" around me that I lose the "sound" of Him near me. I don't want that to happen as often as it does, and so I will write on a semi regular basis to constantly be cleaning out the "noise"! I think the idea of "noise" ( as I keep writing it) is perfect for how I feel. I feel like, just in general, I am always looking for quiet. With 3 little ones running around it something that I value a lot! Don't get me wrong, my life would be feel incomplete without the noise. But it's such a good analogy for me because of the stage of life that I am in. I crave quiet, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it if I had it for too long. I crave God's presence, but what am I going to do with it when I'm able to harness that awareness. This also goes with the whole idea of enjoying TODAY! How much more will I enjoy today if I am aware of the supernatural work of God in my life and the lives of those around me? How can I not find joy in that! Even if we are going through hard times, the awareness of our God...our kind, good, just, loving God is enough to give us joy. Not always happiness, but joy....a sense of hope...and therefore a little more peace in our lives.
