rest, rely, and relieve

Many changes are happening in our lives right now (my children and myself!) I am excited to move and be led by the Spirit as we make these changes. Change can be a blessing but it can also be challenging too! When it becomes a challenge I easily take my eyes off of the One who is bringing the blessing in my life. Distraction takes me away from the will of God and I am learning to work through the challenges by operating continually in the Spirit and by continually praying without ceasing! Those scripture on prayer seem to come alive as I am working through my day...staying in close communion with my Lord and Savior through prayer helps me to remember that He is always here with me and within me to rest in, rely on, and be relieved from the problems and struggles of this world......God bless you all and much love from me!

Update

Hello everyone in blog world!!!

I am in MS right now, staying with friends. It is soooooo cold out here and we have a little bit of snow. The girls had fun playing in it....they stayed outside for quite a while!!

Here's a brief update of what we've been up to:

-We stayed in Columbus, GA for two weeks and spend Christmas with friends. I would love to post photos but am at the library right now and unable to do it. Post pics later...

-We celebrated New Years Eve at a friends church and stayed at her beautiful cabin...lots of fun. The kids went hiking the next day and I took the little ones on a walk around the woods.

-We have been going to AWANA here in MS and the kids have been doing some schoolwork and going to the library/storytime. I've been able to go to appointments and to the gym with one or two kids and leaving the others at my friend's house to play or take naps....

-Been learning how to "Hear the Voice of God", a book by Joyce Meyer...and continuing to seek Him as this deployment drags on.

-I hope to continue to work out here and join a worship dance group in NC when I get back.

Well I must go get the kids now. We have free membership at the YMCA because of P's deployment so we are gonna go there....

Hope to write more soon and post pics of our adventures here and in GA.

Love ya, MK
