Can’t Sleep! So I Blogged…

Well the past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy. We are pretty busy at work and I am just tired when I home. I have NO IDEA how my parents worked 8-5 then had the strength, love and patience to deal with me and my sister when they got home after a long day of work.

Anyways the real reason I am blogging tonight is that  my parents told me a couple of weeks ago that they thought about coming to Belton one weekend to come to church with me. That is great news! I believe it was the first time my mom had ever brought up coming to church with my without me bringing it up first. She told me when I was a work one Tuesday and it  nearly brought me to tears. I am not sure why my parents would want to drive 3 hours to come to church with me when Sagemont is 2 minutes away but maybe they feel more comfortable?? I have no idea. But the thing I have been dealing with the most right now is that it was mentioned maybe about 2 or 3 weeks ago, this kind of thing always happened with my sister and got my discouraged. How they would mentioned it…I would get my hopes up and then they not coming or showing up. I am sure those of you who have asked people to come to church with them (or to any other place) and then they end up not coming or coming up with some excuse. Maybe its the enemy trying to distract me from the fact that the thought of church/Jesus/Christianity is even in their mind! I have been wrestling back and forth…tossing and turning…why I am on this (excuse the cliche) “emotional roller coaster” with my parents  saying they are coming then something comes up, getting my hopes up only to get a phone call saying they can’t make it…. I KNOW His timing is perfect and I KNOW even if they did come to church it is not of my doing but His.

But through all the craziness/struggles of the week, it is this verse that has helped get to late late Thursday night.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life i now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

- Galations 2:20
