Kendall and I have been praying for several years about the Lord's will for us to have a family/adopt, whatever His will be for our lives. Through prayer, we have both felt that if we are to pursue having a family for now the Lord is telling us to wait. In the interim, we feel strongly convicted to strengthen our individual walks with the Lord, grow in the Lord with one another, grow our marriage, and establish ourselves financially. Kendall has been reading through the Word with a friend as well as continuing to educate himself to better help others use their finances in a God-honoring and responsible way. I, in particular, have felt particularly convicted to be a student of the Word DAILY so that if/when we are to have a family I will be able to guide them with His wisdom. As with any good teacher, preparation is involved to make sure the students understand the material. So also, I need to know my Bible well to prepare to teach it to my kids and model it for them.
My journey through the Scriptures this year is so far showing me: how to have a heart FULLY devoted to Him, how to identify and tear down the idols in my life keeping me from fully loving Him, how to love God, what God's plan is through suffering, what the New Earth/the Lord's kingdom will be like. It's a lot but I am so excited that the Lord is filling me up in Him. :-) As I learn new Scriptural truths, I hope to post them regularly to share with you all.
Till next time, stay in the Word yourself and allow God to show you Truths you never imagined!
2 Timothy 2:15--"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth."
