Reflections and Relief

Over the last couple of weeks I have been thinking. When will we have our next baby? When will we have the next baby after that? When will we sell our house? How can I be a good parent when I have never done this before? How can I raise my children in a Godly way that will stick when they are older? And more questions have been rolling through my mind, but I have to get to the point...As I was reading the bible this morning God revealed this verse to me: "And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests we also know that he will give us what we ask for" 1 John 5:13-15.
Whew- I am relieved that God has my life and family under control. I often worry too much, and the whole time God pulls at my heart to remind me that if I make him the center of my day and life he will take my concerns and worries and work everything out to the glory of his name. BUT- I have to make him the center of my life first. My children need to see me spending time in God's word. I need to talk with them about Jesus and what He has done for us. We as a family need to make God the center of our lives and home. I try to do this, but I came to the reality that I need to spend more time in God's word in order to see results. Feel free to hold me accountable, and accept the challenge as well.
