I miss writing on this blog.
I wish I could just sit down every day and talk about all the things I am learning, and all the funny things that are happening, and all of the exciting activities that are totally out of my comfort zone, but for which I am very grateful.
But tonight I just want to record a simple idea that has brought me more strength in the last two days then I had hoped to receive.
I woke up yesterday morning with five or six heavy things weighing on my mind, and because it was early, and no one else was awake, I went quietly downstairs and sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of our little gas fireplace to have my personal time with God.
I read this talk, and this particular line jumped out at me:
"Heaven-sent lift will be found for heaven-sent duties."
All of a sudden, I looked at my list of worries I had recorded in my journal and realized that every single one of them was heaven sent.
I think you can relate....
Everything involving my family, my work at Power of Moms, or my interactions with God's children is work I am doing only because I want to serve my King.
I know many of you feel likewise.
And so I realized I didn't need to worry.
Instead, I simply needed to ask Him to send the help that He has promised.
Well, the help came--that "lift" I had hoped for.
It came with more power and peace and beauty than I feel I deserved.
My heart has been SO calm, and the past couple of days have felt incredibly empowering.
As I look back, I can pinpoint the start of this miracle to the moment I read that promise from above.
So I wanted to take just a moment to share it with you. And I want to make sure you know that for all of your heaven-sent duties, heaven-sent lift WILL come...if you just ask.
With Love,
April
