This question hit me a few weeks ago. As we neared the end of 2019, and as thoughts of renewed goals entered my mind, my blog came to my mind. I revisit my blog now and then, and a feeling of nostalgia sweeps over me as I look at the old pictures posted on my blog several years ago.
So much has changed since the last blog entry in 2017. Many things are different now. God has taken some things away, removed objects that brought a sense of security and self-satisfaction; and He has replaced them with the knowledge that truly, only God brings true security and satisfaction.
But many things also remain the same.
I remain madly in love with the man whom I married nearly 18 years ago. I still love waking every morning knowing that he is next to me, and that when the day's rush is over, we will to sit together at our table and enjoy a cup of coffee in each other's company.
I am still the mother of three precious children, although I can scarcely believe they are the same children I see in photographs taken only three years ago. Though just as sweet, our relationship changes as they mature into lovely young people.
And our Tommy Greg is still our baby, as I suspect he will be all his life.
Most importantly, the fact remains true that I so desire to please my Lord, and that my deepest desire is that everything I do would bring glory to Him. And so, in my plans to persist in the continuation of this blog's entries, may all I say and do be to honor my Lord, and to edify the readers, encouraging each one to follow in the steps of Jesus.
