Life struggles

Do you ever wonder when the struggle will end? When you will see a time when it just doesn't seem to always be a dog eat dog? Or robbing Peter to pay Paul situation? When will it end?

I often wonder that- and the the inner battle begins.The battle between flesh and spirit. The one speaks to me and reminds me of scripture and convictions and then the other side that reminds me that I am an able body capable of assisting in even a small way. 
This voice in my head reminds me of what I have been called to: caring for my children, schooling my children, guiding them in righteousness and the Word while the other one says if you worked it would help some. 

In so many ways I feel like I am failing. I have no determination or faithfulness in schooling Noah. I have not been diligent in giving him the Word. What has happened to me? 

I know on this side of eternity the battle will never cease. It will always be raging. Why do some in this world seem to not struggle? Why does it seem like their lives are full of ease or contentment? I know it is a facade - it is just a mask.

Lord I am weak and I need you to give me strength for I am falling and failing in so many ways. 

Give me strength.

Solo para Gloria de Dios

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
