Lessons Learned (or Affirmed) in the Last Year: A Link-Up in "Pages in Our Heritage of Faith"

I still need to allow Him to purify my heart.


I still need to choose to receive the Grace He makes available, every moment of every day.


Without yielding my expectations, I easily become impatient.


My children are constantly learning from me, my best and my worst.


My heart can still expand to love more people, and love them more deeply.


I am still selfish.


There is still sanctification to take place in my heart through the most mundane tasks of homemaking.


As the reality that this world is not my home burrows deeper into my heart, it causes the pull of "here" to loosen its hold on my soul.


He is Faithful. Always.


My children are agents of free will and still need to be covered in prayer.


The skies do proclaim His Glory. Everyday. 


Discipline is a blessing.


The fruit He bears through us is ALL His doing.


It is a blessing to be completely submitted to the authority of my husband.


My heart knows Peace in proportion to my level of surrender to His Will.


I must allow Him to number my days aright that I might gain a heart of Wisdom.


The only way for me to take a single step in Victory is to be focused on Him.


Stuff will never make anyone happy.


The choice to be fully present in each moment makes all the difference in the quality of relationships.


I do not need to be understood. I simply need to trust Him to be my Defender.


Pride drives my tongue too often.


Perfect Love does cast out fear.


He provides Wisdom for mothers in perfect portions, and at perfect times.


He can redeem ANYTHING.


We need a bigger Vision! For He is able to do more than we ever imagined.


I can still be quite judgmental.


The Body of Christ is so very precious and so very powerful.


I am SO BLESSED!


He still has plans for the Antbed.


I need to be more faithful in prayer.


Time in our most valuable resource.


When He trusts us with "more," He will grant the Wisdom needed to bring Him more Glory.


The season of life in which we now find ourselves is one which He has been preparing us for all our lives. That is a sobering perspective, that should be driving us to more prayer.


I could go on and on and on. The point is, the Lord is so Faithfully speaking to me, teaching me, stretching me, disciplining me. And I want to be a good student as we begin a new year. 

How has He shown Himself Faithful in your life? Will you testify of His Faithfulness? Write it down!! Share it with your children! We need to glorify Him for what He does in our lives. We need to acknowledge His Faithfulness and give Him thanks. We need to think about it and pay attention. Otherwise, we can become forgetful, ungrateful, unaware. His Faithfulness can be seen in every moment of our days in ways we may not even recognize. The very fact that I am able to draw my next breath testifies to His Faithfulness to provide the air and to allow my lungs to function. Looking for His Faithfulness in my life causes my heart to assume the posture of humility that is appropriate before the Almighty God, Whom we are blessed to call Abba.

May He be Glorified by every word.
