It's not about me.

I am not the writer in my family, I am the talker. So I am trying to talk less and write more.
Life as a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mom, a missionary, a home school teacher, and so much more truly makes it "not about me". Most of the time I am okay with that, but I will admit there are times when I wish it could be "about me".
My goal in having an online journal is to be transparent, to be honest, and encourage you to grow in your walk with Jesus, as we/I try to make it more about "Him" our Heavenly Father, and less about me/us.

He Knows?!

    I have read Psalms 139 many times before. But for some reason when I read it this week I read something different. We all "know" that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, but do you truly "believe" that?
    vs 1) Lord, You have "searched" me and you "know" me. How amazing is that!? He has searched for ME, and He knows ME! How dare I have a low self-esteem, when the God of the universe has searched for ME and knows ME! I must be an amazing person, as YOU are, for God to search for us and know us.! That is Love.
   vs 2) You know when I sit and when I rise: you perceive my thoughts from afar. Once again if God knows when I sit and when I rise, and  He know my thoughts, He must care for ME.
    How often are we, (am I ) fearful of burdening God with my "little" requests, I may think He doesn't really want to know about the small things that go on within my heart. The "big" issues, like someone needing a physical healing or someone needing spiritual healing, we don't struggle telling God about those things. But when it comes to: Lord, I am feeling lonely, sad, frustrated, or Lord, I am having a real good day, I sure do love my kids,...We seem to hold back our requests or our praises.
   If He know when I sit and when I rise, He already knows EVERYTHING!! So why not share your thoughts with Him. He already knows  :)
   I am loved.
