Too Much

May 12, 2018 thevintageheartLeave a comment

11 Years. That is the amount of time it took me to finally realize what so many people had been telling me I do. The first time I heard that phrase was from my mom when I was back in high school. One night, in the kitchen, she uttered the 2 words in the title… Continue reading Too Much

This speaks volumes on the lessons God has been teaching me over the past few years... I'm unable to go before God by my own doings, but only through His mercy. For that, I am beyond-words grateful & I will follow after Him with everything in me.
Officially over halfway done w/ my 33-item to-do list today. Some of it is just taking big chores & dividing it into chunks...but still... This is a testimony to the power of prayer & God's faithfulness. You see, I have really been struggling with not feeling motivated & feeing totally burned out over the last few months...no matter what I did- until this past week. I realized I hadn't even considered praying for God to give me a sense of motivation. I had just been trying to motivate myself by "thinking positive," or "pushing myself," or reading motivational books & quotes. Nothing worked, & yet no where along the way had I considered taking it to God in prayer. And guess what? He answered. Why do we so often forget to go to God, even for the small stuff? We act like He wouldn't care or that it's our job to try to do things in our own power. His Word says we do not have because we do not ask or we ask from the wrong heart. I am so thankful He is faithful to listen & answer, even in the small areas of life. #powerofprayer #godisfaithful #godisgreater
Seriously the best Valentine's day ever. Tonight was our first actual Valentine's day together since neither David nor I had to work. He got me the sweetest flower arrangement that he did up himself, I found a card that exactly states how my heart has grown for my husband over the past 7 1/2 years. The rest of our evening consisted of cooking breakfast together, a Daft Punk dance party in the kitchen, playing a video game (yes, ME...playing a video game), & just time hanging out together. Simple, sweet, & fun. Nothing better.
This has always been an struggle for me, but God has recently been molding & shaping my heart. No one's opinion matters more than His, so I am learning to check my motives in everything I do, say, think, & feel.
Thankful that the God of the universe, the Creator of the whole world fights for me, even though I can't deserve it, even when I'm in the midst my own mess. Thankful that in fighting for my heart, He has also fought to open my eyes to what is true vs. what is not, what is pure, lovely, admirable, & right vs. what is not.
Who needs to work when you can chill with my fur babes? #sorelaxing #iloveorchids #ilovedogs #cutiepatootie
