So, didn't blog/post on Sunday. It was my day of rest, or well let's just say a day of Worship. I went to Sunday School and helped in back with the children some. Afterwards, my husband and I went home to eat a very quick lunch then off to work for 5 hours. I was wondering where that day of rest went. Right out the door!
Well, God has been recently speaking to me about all that I am doing. For those of you who don't know here is a list of my current responsibilities:
1) Wife
2) Work at Best Buy
3) Sign langauge Interpreting
4) Deaf Ministry/Social Committe/Children's Sunday School Teacher/Children's Church Helper
5) Writing my Autobiography
6) Brand new Christian Women's Counselor
7) COMING SOON........Possibly one last responsibility...
So, I was praying to God the other night and I was telling Him, God I am so tired. Well I read a little of the Bible and then I just sat there and listened...He said, "Slow down, you're getting so busy you have no time for much rest and when you do sleep it's as if you've gotten almost none at all." I was reminded of the verse 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your cares upon Him because He cares for you."
So I spent much time in prayer pourng my heart out to God about concerns, delights, desires, and then I spent about 30 some odd minutes listening. It's amazing what you hear when you slow down and listen to His still small voice.
You see I've got so much on my plate that there is no time for facebook. During this time I am learning so much about Jesus! Thank you Lord for this time of learning, reflecting, and gaining a closer walk with Thee!
In His Grip,
Alicia Roark
