Laying.


{Matthew 11:28-30}
     Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

This verse was my verse of the day. The good Lord knew I would need this verse today. All ready it's been a rough morning & I've had to remind myself that my struggles are minor inconveniences. When the world comes crashing down upon your shoulders; how beautiful it is that the Lord will take your burdens; how wonderful His grace is to intercede and make your life

Higher.

"From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I." Psalm 61:2  My Dearest Barren, We're going to talk about lifting our eyes higher. Our precious Savior and Lord is much higher than ourselves. This seems obvious but I often times wonder whether we forget this fact. Since Jesus is so accessible to us; do we forget that His ways are higher than ours? Or perhaps we put Him in a box because we take Him for granted?  This verse has been on my heart for about a week. David uses Psalms to express his frustration, fear, and sadness to the Lord. (Can you imagine hand writing a letter to God every time you were upset? Talk about faith to be so unabashed and lay all of your heart out for the Lord.) I want to focus on the latter part of this scripture, highlighted above.  Even though David is troubled by the events going on, he still asks for God's guidance and seeks the Lord's consul to lift hi...

Ruling.

Today I needed a little more encouragement than usual. I thought I would share what I found with you.  "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls." Proverbs 25:28 It's true. I read this yesterday and I chewed on it for a while. What does ruling your spirit means? I believe it goes along with my last post of guarding your heart. I'll give you a little more insight of my life to maybe help.  I'm a redhead. Yup. Full blown ginger with green eyes. Nearly everyone will say the usual, 'bad tempers' and 'bad attitudes'. In reality, I've calmed down quite a bit in life and cut me some slack I have the odds against me. :)  It's very easy for me to get carried away with, well, anything. Although my temper isn't flaming hot all the time, its easy when something does make me mad to dwell on it. At this point many things make a situation worse and very few make it right.  Should I let thin...

Greedy.

My dearest Barren,   As you know my struggle, I've been praying for another baby. Specifically I've been praying for twins. Pictures of two healthy baby boys with auburn hair and hazel eyes fill my mind. Stories of my family ancestry of twins and triplets plague me. All in part with the fact my husband wants only one more child and the thought of just one more child is sad to me. I still crave a large family.   In my lamentation to Christ I prayed and cried and yes did the forbidden and questioned 'why' I could not have twins. Then it hit me.   Greed. How selfish of me, how greedy of me to ask such a thing. To pray and request of God my greediness nearly made me break into tears. I was not waiting as I feel lead to. I was not trusting God as I knew  I should. No this was me 'taking matters into my hands' again. I quietly thank God for the revelation before I caused more heartache of my own doing. My ambitions have been trouble for me because they have been ...
