Lately I’ve been a little edgy. (I know, honey. You haven’t noticed. But I have.)
Lately I’ve been wanting to just sit and read.
Lately I’ve been loving the deep, passionate belly laugh of a tickled toddler.
Lately I’ve been enjoying funny conversations with a little girl about to be in first grade.
Lately I’ve been asking God to empty me of me and fill me with more Him.
Lately I’ve been tickled over the massive closet reorganization I did last week and the four bags of random I took to Goodwill.
Lately I just want less stuff.
Lately I’ve been worried about this sibling rivalry thing going on under our roof.
Lately I’ve been having to press further into Him because I’m an only child – I don’t know about this sibling stuff.
Lately I’ve slowed down. Really.
Lately I’ve been listening to Him guide me and I love it when I know with certainty instead of wondering “Is this my heart’s desire or His?”
Lately I’ve been wanting to learn more about discernment.
Lately I’ve been planning a trip that I know will change the way I see the world.
Lately I’ve been a little scared about that because I will no longer be able to plead ignorance.
Lately I’ve been concerned about not being able to unsee the seen.
Lately I think that maybe He doesn’t want me to unsee it – He wants me to use it.
Lately I’m just trusting and knowing that His plan is way mightier than my own.
Joining in with precious Christy from Critty Joy for her monthly meme “As of Late”...
I am feeling a lot of the same as well. Tomorow I am taking the day off and just spending some well needed time with God, my bible and my bed
Will keep you in prayer with the sibling rivalry thing. I was the only kiddo in my household as well, so I know when the time comes that I have little ones, I will be totally ignorant about that as well.
Great list! I relate to so much of it. Have you visited Chatting at the Sky today? She talks about the travel you speak of and stepping out of her comfort zone. I always find her words encouraging.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been wanting to learn more about discernment as well. We just went through a Beth Moore study on that topic, and I was convicted by how little I really trust the voice of the Holy Spirit.
As I read your list I just thought of what a beautiful work He is doing within you friend.
I think it takes us getting out of our comfort zone and seeing the unseen to really see Him in different and bigger ways. The whole thought is just plain scary though. (I am WAY excited about this trip….I cannot wait to hear more!)
Laughter from a child…best sound ever.
And I am with you on the less stuff thing…I cannot wait to spend some time this summer de-cluttering and letting go of some things.
Love to you sweet Nat.
Hmmm…wondering where you’re going? Praying for you…thanks for your praying for me. Did you get my voicemail??
His plan is way mightier than my own! Oh so true, and so hard to let go of!
