Life Update

Some time has passed since sharing a very personal testimony of a struggle I was facing and how God brought me through. It has been a blessing to talk about it more with women that I respect and trust in my life and church community. Some of you whom I don’t have the privilege of speaking with however may want to know what has changed since that time.

What am I doing now?

Being accountable. To whom?

To Jesus, who is the reason I have a testimony to share.

To my husband and children, because aside from Jesus, they deserve the best and most of me.

To my church community and circle of godly sisters, because I’d be a fool to think I can walk this life without people who are willing to challenge and build me up to live a life that honors God.

I will continue to reiterate that what I share is not just content for entertainment. I am writing about the work God is doing in my life in real time therefore I feel a great deal of responsibility to make sure that what I say is what I do. As I’m learning what it means to delight in God, I want the fruit of my life to be the evidence of application. So, I’m doing the work of fighting sin through confession, repentance, and obedience. I’m adjusting to the new rhythms in my life that help me prioritize what’s most important in this season.

How am I doing?

I am doing well. The closer I draw to Jesus, the more I see my need for Him and appreciate Who He is and what He’s done. Abiding in Christ makes it easier to live a life of obedience. I can see and feel how I’ve matured, and I rejoice about that often. On the days where I’m not feeling or doing great, I’ve learned to lean on the Holy Spirit as well as lean in more to the wonderful community God has given me through my family and church family.

What’s next?

I have so much to write about so I hope you will continue to stick around, because the Lord is doing a new and beautiful thing through this blog! I believe some new exciting things are to come!
