In fact, it is almost like a toddler during a growth spurt, I just can't seem to get enough and it is the only time there is even remotely any satisfaction in my life. Unfortunately, like a toddler on a growth spurt, it doesn't last long before I'm looking for the next meal.
So, for this new year I am going to dig deeper into God's word like I never have before, but not only that I'm going to share what I learn. I am also going to memorize scripture, two verses a month. I have committed to do this with Beth Moore and all that ladies that join her for the Siesta Sister Memory Team. Here is the link if you would like to check it out. My first verse to memorize is Isaiah 40:31: but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength. They shall mount up on wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.
I chose that verse because besides being restless, I feel worn out, weary, just plain ol' tired and things keep getting heaped on. My family tends to do that and I tend to let them. I did decide a few months ago after a bit of melt down that I needed to STOP trying to carry everyone's burdens because I have quite enough of my own AND I need to give those to Jesus who is much stronger than I am and since He is God's Son more capable of handling them than I am. Now to continue handing them over. My next verse may be the be anxious for nothing verse. I may know it already, but reviewing it and saying it every day will keep it in my mind and help to release the load.
Even though things are a little tough entering into the new year, God is in control. I will follow His lead and trust Him. I believe He has great things in store for my family and me, I just need to wait on His timing.
Have a great New Year!
Beth
