My life

What a long time it has been since I posted on this poor neglected blog. I fear this blog is a reflection of my walk with God. I will start excited and ready to give Him my all and end depressed, distant and lazy. It is just as I stated in my last post, we rebel, have to sacrifice and thank the Lord, have grace. Therefore, I wish to start again because with Christ I can do this. Yes I am still reading my Bible but not nearly as closely as I should and I know I am missing out on a lot of great stuff because of this laziness. So in an effort to stay accountable and really find joy in and a love for God's word I am going to post on each chapter I read in my journey through the Bible. This will force me to really think about it and will make me feel more motivated to read God's precious word which I often take for granted. As my reader I ask that you hold me accountable to this task. So without further ado, lets jump in!

Trying,

~Elisabeth

Reality

Yesterday marked the last day of work. I went throughout the work day as usual, feeling no different. Then as I was checking over everything, for the last time, it hit me. I realized suddenly that I was just one more step closer to leaving. I felt not so sad as odd. Realizing that I may never work there again was difficult to take in. Then today I met my good friend to say goodbye. All went well but when I laid down to take a nap after coming home I suddenly felt a great sadness over the fast approaching departure and I started to cry. I am still processing it all but I think I am understanding it more slowly and am scared. God give me strength.

Twenty

Five days of being twenty and I feel...tired. I was so excited to rid myself of the title of "teenager" but now I realize exactly what that entails. I am still ecstatic about life as an adult but it is not what I expected. My first day as an adult I worked twelve hours. That day I realize that though growing up leads to exciting new adventures and new experiences, it also means more responsibility. The days of childish games and idle afternoons are over, the days of hard work and toil have come. I am now responsible to feed, clothe and educate myself. Such a duty terrifies me. Yet... Adult life brings joy immeasurable. The beauty of falling madly in love with a man and entrusting your all to him to care for, for life. The speechless happiness of holding the delicate product of that love in your arms and looking into those little eyes and feeling your heart will burst with joy. The amazing joy of discovering more of the magnificence of your Savior each passing day. Only the pa...

Another Goodbye

Sitting in Church today and realizing that I will not be there for weeks made me understand how much my Church means to me. My Church has been a place of encouradgment and conviction. I am really going to miss singing along side my fellow believers, seeing each person there and joining in communion with those I know. But most of all I am going to miss the convicting, yet totally encouradging sermons of my pastor. Why does growing up and away have to be so incredibly painful?
