Reboot

Happy Wednesday girls! I am so excited today because I am leaving in the morning to go to one of my favorite women's conferences with some of my favorite girls!! (pics to follow, lol) I've been counting down the days to this reboot, but I am a mother, wife, teacher, now blogger and a woman who rarely says no to others. This means, I'm tired! I haven't packed, I haven't changed my oil, I need a haircut, the weather has changed in Kentucky AGAIN, so my head feels like it's going to explode and my daughter told me at drop off line this morning, that she was having company. "Yes, I forgot, we take someone to church with us on Wednesday nights!" Oh, and did I mention that I have some very exciting news to announce to the girls tomorrow night when we get to our destination That has brought more added stress? These ladies have known for a long time that God has called me to become a Christian speaker, and tomorrow I will be announcing my website! I am extremally nervous! You see, as I am writing this, and even though my site is published, I haven't told anyone about this website. I have planned this sweet surprise, and I have a t-shirt to give them with my logo and website (free advertisement, lol), and I know they will be super supportive. You see, I have this story to tell that God has written. Is it perfect? Well, if you read the beginning of this post, you can pretty much guess that it isn't, but that's why it needs to be told! I don't know about you, but as a woman who struggles daily, I don't need someone who lives the perfect life, you know the one you read about on social media, telling my how good God is, I already know that. I need real life, real people. I need blood sweat and tears. I need struggles and heartache. I need someone who stands in the face of Satan daily and puts him in his place. I need someone who has been through hell on earth and only by the grace of God, lived to tell about it, and sisters, I have been down that road and back more than a handful of times. I am here typing this message, because I am a miracle. For some reason God wants me to share my story with you and how, only by His grace and mercy, I am here to tell it.

I love the Lord with all my heart and soul, I believe He died on the cross to pay the debt for my sins, was buried and rose three days later. I believe the only way to get to heaven is to believe in the Lord, ask Him to forgive you and accept Him as your Lord and Savior and even though that is the most important thing, it's not all I want. I want to wake up every morning and have that intimate time with God (and my coffee). I want to feel His presence in everything I do, I want to love like Jesus, I want to give my life to God and know that no matter what I face, He is in control. Last but not least, when I see my Heavenly father face to face, I want to hear "well done my good and faithful servant". My life is far from perfect, I fail daily, I am a sinner and so unworthy of anything He gives me, but He is perfect. He doesn't fail, He isn't a sinner, but yet died a horrible death for mine. and He is so worthy of all I could possibly give Him and so much more. I know if I count my failures, losses, heartaches and reasons I should give up, they would be more than I could count, but if I stop to count my blessings, they are so much more, there is no comparison. You see, everything that life has brought me to, God has brought me through. I know the promises the Lord has made and I have no doubt he will keep every one of them. I know as long as I give it all to Him, trust His direction for my life and surrender to Him, I will not fail. So stay strong ladies, by pulling all your strength from the Lord. He's got this and He will never let you go. I will add pictures of the girls and I later, I am sure I will have some great stories to tell after this weekend.

Love and prayers,

The Faithful Farmgirl
