Welcome Back Kotter!



 So I haven't blogged since 1962, because lately I've been feeling like this...


         but, I'm getting back to this...  

So what have I been up to?  Well I've been...
striving to hear God's voice
student teaching
raising a 5 year old
striving to hear God's voice
writing papers for my masters coursework
striving to hear God's voice
striving to hear God's voice
oh, and striving to hear God's voice :)

In this season of learning to trust I have found that discerning God's voice is very difficult if:
a) you're reluctant to follow His instructions
AND
b) you aren't knowledgeable about His Word

Unfortunately, I am guilty of both.  Yet God's love and grace is constant.  I feel Him leading me, still welcoming me to Him, wanting to free me from my anxities and doubt.  Each day I am encouraged by God, through songs, scriptures, emails.  (btw, those emails are a whole 'nother blog post!).  I'm choosing to trust, because "when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind" (James 1:6)
