This has been quite the busy season for us, between Judah’s work and getting ready to launch a book and some crazy health things. This week is particularly full, so writing a “normal” blog post was pushed out of the priority list.
However, I wanted to share a few truths I’m reminding myself of these days. These serve to help me keep my eyes on Jesus when the “cares of the world” try to overwhelm me. I hope they’ll encourage you, too.
– My work, either excellent or poor, does not define me: Jesus does
– I am not doing what I do for the approval or applause of others, but out of obedience to and love for God
– In my weakness His strength can be seen most clearly
– Jesus is my rest
– He has given me grace for what He’s called me to today
– He upholds my tiny corner of the world (Along with the rest of it), not me
– His timing is always better than mine
– Because God knows and sees everything, I don’t need to
– I’m encouraged when I encourage others
– Jesus loves me. And this reality changes everything
(Below I’ve included a free printable image with these reminders)
Your friend,
If this post was an encouragement to you, please consider sharing it so it can reach more women!
![This past weekend Judah and I had the immense privilege of witnessing our five-year-old daughter surrender her life to the Lord.
God has used the salvation of my children to remind me of the Gospel that will never grow old, but that too often loses its wonder in my mind’s eye. What a gift that, in a world filled with evil and upheaval, God is quietly revealing that He is at work in the lives of those most precious to me.
I’m brought back to the reality of what Christ has done on our behalf, simple enough for a child to grasp, yet so profound we’ll never understand the half of it (at least not this side of heaven).
