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

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.

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?

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...

Wanting what you cannot

31 January, 2018—3:45pm Expansive and silent, the waves of snow scuttle and shimmer. Black trees are silhouetted by white-blue sky; colors echoing the earth. God always seems to speak to me when I am standing here in this vast open space—feeling small. Today He spoke through the article I read just minutes before. The author described me, and so many other Americans, obsessed with fitness. We follow YouTube amateurs as if they were gods. We fling our Thor’s hammer like our bulging coach; or leap through air, pursuing trim, toned, Athena. Our clothes, phones, cars, are replete with their icons—their enviable abs and distended thighs. They heed our sweaty sacrifices and listened to our egotistical prayers, rewarding us with the body we covet. But we are mortals. We cannot dwell amongst the gods. The insalubrious rituals they demand batter our bones and mangle our muscles. Desiring to become strong, we are depleted. Yet we drag our sinewed body before the altar without exception....
