Lent {weeks 4,5}



I have had a couple of busy weeks. I have a to-do list that seems to be getting LARGER and LARGER everyday. Things that I have to do at home, lists to get done for work, and a few things that are in the "unknown". 

I have to say that I am very bad when it comes to not knowing the outcomes to my problems and situations in life. I tend to think about all the worst possibilities and waste my time thinking about "what-if" and "what-then". I am used to multitasking, but also find myself stressed out easily. 

....it is always amazing to me that I can spend so much time worrying, making lists, and trying to figure out my plans, and wonder why it all seems DOOMED.

Then when I feel like I can't handle it, I hear the perfect words in a sermon, read the most desired verse in a devotion, or hear the most comforting song/hymn to help me realize that I have been living life my way. It can come when I least expect it, but it always comes with an emotional and spiritual force that usually brings me to tears.  Because I know, I once again need to repent, fix my eyes on Jesus and His Word, and live my life out of thanks for Him. 

 NO matter what I do or don't do, Jesus lived a perfect life and died for me and you. The Holy Spirit always reaches me and gives me peace. 

He knows. What a comfort. He always knows.


p.s.

I have a couple of new paintings started and will be back soon to share.
