R. and I had a blessed time visiting his family over the long weekend and we came home with new perspective. We've struggled to know what the Lord has for us and wondered why He seemed so silent In taking time away and talking and praying about it the answer was clear. We've been neglecting the Lord and focusing our attention everywhere except on Him. He has not been our first, second, or even third priority. We've been giving Him the leftovers. How could we expect to hear His voice when we haven't been listening or paying attention? We have renewed our evening devotions together and have been deliberate about personal time with the Lord and already see a change in our life. R. is more encouraged and we are meshing together and desiring to bless each other, instead of seeking for our own blessing.
"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you." True to His Word, God has been adding to us as we seek Him first. I'm so thankful that even when I am faithless, He remains faithful.
Resting in His grace........

hey mollie, i found you... :) hope you guys are doing well. glad to read this entry. keep it up!!
God bless.
I'm glad you and Robert had a good time with his fam! Renewing devotions... something Nathan and I are working on as well. Sometimes I can't believe how easy it is to lose our focus. Church this morning gave us another much needed reminder to reexamine our priorities and make sure that God is number one. I'm glad that God is always ready and willing to take that place again!
