I’ve decided to blog again!
Hello! Let me introduce myself…..
Since it’s been so long since blogging, I feel as if I need to clarify who I am! No, I haven’t changed and I haven’t been doing some secret makeover. I’ve had plenty to say, I’ve just been lazy. Yup, there you have it, the unvarnished truth. Some days, even though I have lots of thoughts and I’ve been learning great things, I just don’t get around to sharing them.
Please, Color me Sorry.
Just yesterday I returned from camping in McCall, ID. I got to hike, sit by the lake, read a book, shop for antiques, sleep in, play games, eat s’mores…. a delightful trip. It was refreshing and invigorating.
The perfect summer respite.
In the midst of my summer respite, God gave me a refresher from His Word. The Message paraphrases Psalm 119:17-20 “Be generous with me and I’ll live a full life; not for a minute will I take my eyes off your road. Open my eyes so I can see what you show me of your miracle-wonders. I’m a stranger in these parts; give me clear directions. My soul is starved and hungry, ravenous! –insatiable for your nourishing commands.” I love the phrase “show me of your miracle-wonders.” Just as I saw the beauty of nature and knew it to be a miracle of my God, I know that there are things He does in my life that need to be given that same declaration. When a friend gives me a needed word of encouragement, that is a miracle-wonder from God. When I read a verse that gives me the perfect boost of wisdom, that is a miracle-wonder from God. When I am chosen to serve and enrich another’s life, and I realize I’ve given someone else a precious gift from my obedience, that is a miracle-wonder from God.
As a Princess of the King of Kings, it is my privilege and my responsibility to follow His leading, travel His road. Some may think that following God’s way is restrictive or binding. I have to agree with the Psalmist when he says that when God is generous with him, his life is full. I am hungry, ravenous, starved for the wisdom that He gives to me. He fills my life over and over with miracle-wonders, and never do I feel as if I am missing out because I choose to do what God asks of me. My life is richer, fuller, — much like camping in McCall! God truly refreshes and invigorates my very life.
Now you need to Color me Blessed.
