Apple Jacks, Bible Studies, and Babies

Well, I have to apologize if you are a regular reader on my blog. For the last couple months I haven’t been writing or posting much. I’ve been struggling a bit with nausea and exhaustion during the 1^st trimester and aside from serving my clients directly, everything else had to take a back seat, which I hate to do. But today I am nestled in my pretty little office and settled into my seat with my bible, some Applejacks, some good tunes and a “to-do” list that will keep me occupied all day. I hope this means I am “back in business” and get to tackle some pretty big goals I had for this year.

When I sat down this morning I knew the first thing I needed to do was a bible study. I am 13 weeks pregnant this weekend and I have had nausea and exhaustion since 5 weeks so it takes a ton of drive to even get out of bed in the morning. I am just so thankful that Steve has been home for this one because he has taken on a ton of responsibilities around the house. But, still I haven’t been accomplishing much and therefore a lot has slipped through the cracks. One of those things is my bible studies. And, let me tell you, this hasn’t been good for me. It feels like my life has felt a little bit out of control lately. And to think I will be adding a third baby to the mix this winter – – I wonder what I was thinking!?!

But I read the perfect verse today in my study bible so instead of doing the blog I had intended to do, I’d thought I’d share.

Hebrews 1:2 – “but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.”

This whole chapters of Hebrews is about the superiority of Christ. How He is greater than the angels. He is the creator of the universe. Some days I don’t live my life like this. I can give Jesus the control of all things spiritual in my life, but I don’t actually live a life that shows I believe He is in control of ALL THINGS just like the verse says. If Jesus created the universe, than actually no part of my life is out of control because HE is in control. I am where he wants me – even in my struggles- and He has a plan for me. I love that I can come to His word and let it sustain me. I can pray and share with Him my feelings and I can even ask for advice.

He is present, forever and always, even when you feel like He is not. Just turn to Him.
