Life...Simple, Meaningful, and Purposeful
A worthy goal I have set is too eliminate clutter in our lives as much as I can. Clutter hinders the freedom to flow in our relationships, hampering harmonized living, and peacefulness. Eliminating clutter in whatever shape or form it inhabits, renders to us life uninhibited by artificial, wasteful, and unhealthy attachments.
I have also discovered that life takes time. I like to describe it as a "symphonic progression". One in which we should at the least try to live one day at a time. Perhaps working toward moment, by moment then breath, by breath and so on. And since there is no way we could possibly have all the answers to every situation we should simply trust our lives to He who does.
Here is todays entry...
God is my provision and source in life including every imaginable aspect, especially "homeschool" which is our way of life-living, loving, laughing, learning and growing. His grace is sufficient to supply and provide for our needs within this ministry, and sacred journey. We are His, not our own and He cares, even more than we do-WOW! So when we see a need, we carry it to him. Trusting that He will see it through. It isn't our responsibility to figure it all out. Only to trust and obey.
This life is much more simple when we choose to live from our heart, abandoning fear at the Cross. In my life, my Saviour has never forsaken me, and I know in my heart that He never will, and from this my strenght emerges. It is the child-like faith that attracts the manifestations. What we must learn is that God's ways are not found in, nor can they be similar to the inconsistent human nature of man. His ideals surpass carnal man's shallow perspective of life. He alone is the True gift which allows one to see the very richness of life in the tangible, heartfelt, genuine things in life - birth, life, people, love, visions, dreams. . .
When we are fully persuaded that our lives belong to Him and that He is the Master Craftsmen who designed, fashioned, and refined our lives, as only He can, we will discover that there are no limits to what we can become as individuals, and as a family. First within, which is the "self aspect", then without or outwardly as family. Each individual working together corporately towards a divinely synchronized goal.
Our dream is our road map
Our vision is our goal
Our life is our journey
How refreshing it is to inhale the clean, clear, beauty of a pure and honest existence. An existence that resists compromise and propaganda. A rich, true form of living is where life is free and on the air of peace one's soul is lifted up.
This is my prayer. . .
Father help me, show me how to abide in this place of rest. This place where I bask in the serenity of enchanted, fully complete, and rich moments. There are no cares or weighty thoughts here. Only the present, the now, and of course You my Lord.
