Hi friends and family. I know it has been a few weeks since I posted. I have sat down to write and the words just haven’t been coming together. My mind has been muddled and to be honest I have been weary. Weary of things happening in this world, weary of trying to keep relationships good and alive while we are on the road with meeting new people and trying to keep up with those we love. I actually felt like some depression had set back in, which I was not loving and then God reminded me of a certain scripture in Galatians chapter 6 verse 9 “Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
It can be so easy for me to give in and give up. I get discouraged and I am a sensitive soul which I have been criticized for before, so my feelings are open and often right out on my sleeve. The silent whisper of this scripture reminded me to keep going, to continue being myself, to keep looking up. I can’t control anything going on around me but I can control how I respond and where my focus is. If you find yourself feeling similar, I hope this encourages you. God has a purpose and a plan for each of us. I had strayed off the path some with focusing on thankfulness and am grateful that through my thirteen weeks of coaching I got back into the habit of journalling and praying every morning again.
I have never liked change but I funnily enough experience it all the time. Last week I said goodbye to the couple we had been serving with the last month and also the coaching program I had been enrolled in. Its never easy saying goodbye, I am not sure if I ever will get used to it. I spent some of last week annoyed with myself because I felt I could have asked better questions to prepare my transition from being coached to doing the program on my own. This week is going much better since I figured out how I could write my progress down and go over the last few months of my training without having an app to record and remind me of what I needed to do. T and I also are not going to New Mexico next month like we originally planned. T is going to be attending some training in Texas so we are headed back to the Lone Star state and the plan is to be there in different areas until end of March next year. Its all about change! Lol I am getting better about the ebbs and flows of life it just takes practice and time.
Anyways that’s enough about me. How are you truly doing? How can I pray for you?
I am going to finish like I always do with some pictures so you can get a small window of our life outside of RV ministry and some of the things we are thankful for. Love to each of you- Lou
