Hello all! I have so much to add in here, but I want to post really quick why I chose to change my blog's name. For starters, when I started posting here, I wanted it to be a place where I could write in our schooling information. It expanded though to a place where I come and share things that are going on in our family and with me personally. Our Pastor spoke this weekend on Jonah and the messege hit me like a ton of bricks. The theme of the next few week's messeges at our church is ROCK GOD. This week the Title Song focused on was Bruce Springsten's Born to Run. He spoke about Jonah and how he ran from God - and how there is a Jonah in all of us. Our Pastor said a lot of things that really touched my heart, but one of the things was that we are "Born to run, prone to drift". This is so true for me. He gave the analogy of how he went on vacation down to the beach with his family. They were out in the water, just relaxing and having fun with each other. When it was time to get out of the water, they realized that, unknown to them, they had been drifting WAY far down the beach and completely lost track of where the house that they were staying at went. Like drifting in the waters, we tend to drift from God sometimes and don't even know it. We turn around and are shocked at how far we have gone from Him. Maybe it's just one area of our lives where we think we can handle things good enough for ourselves - or maybe some people willingly have said "forget this" and walk away from Him all together. The sermon was much more deep than what little I am focusing on here. But I wanted to fill you in on the meaning behind my blog's name change. I, along with many other people, tend to drift from God's plans, truths, desires, and not even realize how far I have gone from home. Each time I run back though, He is there waiting for me - no matter if I have drifted an inch or a mile - I know He will be there. HUGS! |
