Well I suppose I have had lots of musing this past month so I suppose my title is not quite true but oh well! The title is always the hardest part for me! Ha. Well let's get started shall we? Much has happened in the past month. I completed my freshman year of college and hello Dean's List! Yes! I enjoyed my studies so much this past year. I learned and expanded my knowledge of many things this past year. I finished school then travelled to the only state that used to be a country. Hope you know what I am talking about! I went down to see my cousin and her family and also meet a new member of our family, my little second cousin George. What a sweetheart. We have bonded quite a lot over the past few weeks. Hours have passed as I have held him. And how much giggling do I have with my cousin Ben. We love the sandbox and books and "Steet" (Sesame Street). Meg and I have had so much laughter and joking and experiences. I love my family. Shout out to Tim. He's an amazing dad and husband. Yep. For real.
But my musing for the past month. I have met lots of new people going to my cousins' church. Here's what I am thinking. Even though I am not in my own church with people I know and am comfortable with, I had a certain peace inside of me. I knew that even though I wasn't in a church I was familiar with, I wasn't with people I knew so well, I realized that even though I might not know the people, we are all congregated for the same reason and for the same purpose. We were there to worship God, the same God who resides in Colorado, Texas, Africa, Antarctica, and Venezuela. We can worship together knowing that regardless of your social status, your income, your nationality, or your family situation, we are all worshipping Him united and together. So I stood there in a new church and I found that yes, though I might not know everyone we can still be united and I can still worship and feel at home. It was such a peaceful feeling. Isn't it amazing that we worship a God who can be everywhere at once? What a wondrous thought.
Here is a second musing. My little boys who have fallen in love with for the second time, we have such a responsibility. When my little men are sobbing and falling apart, or we are giggling and playing hide and go seek, I know that I am supposed to be a loving example and show them how much love Jesus has for them. When my boys are sobbing and I don't know what to do, I know that they are little people who don't have Jesus living in them yet so I need to teach them how much Jesus loves us and how he cares for them. It's important that every time I get frustrated I remember how much Jesus loved the children. That when He was tired, He still told them to come to Him. Amazing right? Just a musing of mine. Every precious moment I have with kids I need to tell them how much Jesus loves them. Not just by telling but by showing.
Those are my thoughts. That's what is happening. I will try to post more about what has been happening and memories but for now- have a great rest of your week! Let Jesus's light shine through you! Love and prayers to the people in Oklahoma! More on that in my next post.
