Heart Strings

I  wanted to start a blog to write down what has been pulling at my heart strings. At church last month our pastor spoke about the Holy Spirit. He reminded us if we want to hear the Holy Spirit speaking into our life we have to dive deep into relationship with Him. I have been. And I have heard the Lord speak into my life more these past few months than in my whole life. I can't explain how much joy I have in my heart when I obey the leading and instruction on my life. Much of His leading lately has to do with others. And ironically (even though irony has nothing to do with God knowing exactly what I need) one of my biggest struggles and biggest prayer request is putting others first. It has mostly been small prompts, but very obvious ones. Hearing, though is only the first step, acting on it is the next (and sometimes really hard to do) step. But as I previously said obedience brings joy. If you want to hear the Holy Spirit, go deeper with Christ.


A few months ago the Lord laid this on my heart:

"I want to be a godly woman who loves the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, strength and mind. A woman who honors and takes care of my husband. A wonderful mother to my children. That I continue to grow in knowledge of my Lord and that I lead and guide others, in love, to Him."
