Leaning In

7/3/2018

1 Comment

 
The season in our house right now is a tough one. Tough on so many fronts. I am learning that I need to lean in and give the glory to God (in every moment). That I am imperfectly made in his image. That he will help me through if I search for him in all moments of my life. I need to lean in when the moments are tough and murky AND when they are good and rich. 

There have been more nights than I can count this summer when we have been unable to have supper as a whole family. In these moments the anger swells, the anxiety and shortness set it. Why or why can I not find grace in these moments? Why can I not fill my children with positive affirmations of their hard working dad? Why can I not lean on God and find the goodness here? 

To be honest I think it is because I don't lean in and give him the glory in all areas of my life, in every moment. I fill these teachable moments with such angst and defeat. I go to anger and frustration towards my spouse and kids on matters which they have no control over. So today I choose joy and hope and leaning in. I choose giving him the glory in every single moment, tough and murky or rich and good.

Good read Lisa! My maiden name is Schneeberger. I graduated with Brian Lacey 1977, I really am an “old lady” HA! The BIG 60 is coming for all us 1977 classmates, including Brian ! My daughter is married to a large crop farmer and also have beef cows. I forwarded this article to her, praying she will be as blessed as me.
Thank you for your encouraging words from a “young” lady that loves the Lord ❤️
Happy 4th of July! God Bless the U.S.A.
