I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Hello friends! I have missed you so!! I haven't been on here in over a year. I'm so very glad to be back. I have been writing, just not here. I've got pages of writings and poetry and all kinds of stuff. I just haven't been here. But I'm back, and whatever it looks like, I'm going to get as much of that stuff on here as I can in the next few days.

We are also going to be exploring some important, and some definitely new, subjects. For instance,  I am learning how to be a submissive wife. Ouch. It scares me too. I'm reading a book that I'll be telling you guys about, as well as what God is teaching me when it comes to this hard lesson. Just this morning during prayer, we had a conversation about it. He asked me, "How can you be a submissive wife, when you don't even know how to be a submissive child?"

I was floored. He is right. I don't honor my God or my husband enough. I definitely don't "obey" most of the time. I spend money we don't have on things we don't need. I pay more attention to everything, especially my phone, than I do either of them. So yeah, conviction just slapped me in the face. Scripture says wives submit unto your husbands as unto the Lord. I don't do that. At all. How can I submit to Ben if I can't submit to Papa? We will definitely go deeper on this one!

Another topic we will be getting to is one of my favorite statements: He is Enough. Go ahead, try it out. It fits just about every scenario I have come up with. I feel unloved? He is Enough. I am hungry? He is Enough. I am thirsty? He is Enough. Scared? He is Enough. I can't do this? He is Enough.

I am pretty certain I have written on this before. If so, we will revisit it and see what He's taught me since. If not, then we will have a whole new post. Whatever happens, we are just going to roll with it.

I will also be posting how I feel, a year after my body decided it wasn't going to cooperate anymore. I actually wrote two different, yet similar versions of this story. One will appear as a guest post on a friend's blog. The other will appear here. One is very personal while the other is more how it affected all of us. I will definitely link them together so you can see the different routes He took me through my story.

So that's where we are. A post to say there are more posts coming. He is showing me all the ways He is always with me, even in the hard stuff. He is growing me and teaching me and showing me who I really am. I hope you enjoy the journey with me!
