While jogging the other morning I jogged in prayer. The word "faithfulness" was brought to me so I focused on that word as I ran. I was praying about my own relationship with Christ and my journey with Him. I was praying about the other relationships I have in my life, being a wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, friend, co-worker, leader, etc. and how I can set the example of Christ in those relationships. One of the most important relationships anyone has is their marriage and I was praying to be a reflection of Christ in my marriage. As I was praying I looked up to see a woman passing me going the other direction on the trail, jogging just as I was, and her shirt simply had the word "PRAY" written across the front. I immediately was overcome with a sense of calmness and peace and knowing that my prayers were being heard and I was seeing God in that moment. When I got back to my car the song "Faithful Now" by Vertical Worship was playing on the radio and I knew I was hearing God in that moment. As I drove home the shadows of the trees that were casting on the road in front of me formed a cross and I could feel God in that moment. The words "You were faithful then, you'll be faithful now" continued to come through the radio reminding me that I'm not alone and he is faithful in every aspect of my life. He is with me, guiding me, guiding my relationships and supporting me no matter which direction I go. I was reminded of a Bible study I completed more than ten years ago entitled "To Live as Christ" and how to focus in my relationships on His word and His leading to experience deeper relationships and faith than I can even imagine.
I’m going to begin my blog by discussing what my goals for it will be. If you’ve read my profile and my dashboard you can see that I can sum myself up by saying I am a Christian, mother, and military wife. These three areas of my life have posed many questions that I’ve had to answer. Some I’ve had to discover on my own, some I’ve had the help of my family and friends and others I’ve just had to rely on other people to do their jobs. In this blog I want to present some of the experiences that have come and gone in my life. I want to bring to the table some issues facing all of us in today’s world. I want to look at various topics through faith and experience. I want these pieces of my personal journey to be expressed and maybe help or influence others to think about the various topics themselves. Ideally, I would like to update the blog a few times a week to open the topics to discussion. Depending on the length or response may determine how often the site is updated. I invite you to c...
