In case you haven’t noticed, I have not established a rhythm to have regular posts on this site. At one point I was not good with that and I would push myself to publish something. Those posts were good but maybe not my best. Once again, I have to trust God in the waiting.
If you did not get a chance to see my update last month, I have posted the video links below. In these videos I talk about what has happened after 6 years of successfully halting MS and I talk about the things I did right and the things I did wrong.
I an not sure who the videos are reaching but, I hope they learn something valuable. Stress is a real thing! Don’t ignore it or gloss it over. Out of everything I have learned through this process and the path that God provided, it is that we move so fast in this world trying to maintain connections, working hard to get ahead, making sure we have a home and ‘all the things’. But in the end, it is just stuff. It is just a thought, an idea. In my last post I talked about lost dreams and how there were certain goals that I was able to accomplish but now I am finding myself questioning those decisions. Each day I find myself wanting less but wanting to connect with more people.
I have the opportunity to make some of those connections by writing to this blog and posting on social media but the connections I enjoy the most are the ones I make standing face to face. In this last month I have had the opportunity to stir up some connections that I would not have done if I was working a regular job. In those connections I found opportunities to share how God is at work and offer hope, I have been able to help someone make decisions for their future, I have had opportunities to pray with people and for situations. These are the real things that matter. Luke 9:57-58 reminds us, 57 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
Focusing on Jesus has always been the priority. As I take inventory of things I have accomplished with Jesus, it is more than I could ask. But as I get older, I am seeing that less has been more and I am working towards less every day.
