Just a little life update to begin. Tabitha turns three on Saturday. I wish the implications of that statement could somehow be published alongside it. But I am actually too tired to post a picture of myself making the face I make when I think about it too long. I am sure whoever is reading this post can imagine. Actually, I wonder if anyone ever does read it anymore...I have all but abandoned my little blog. Which leads me to my next point...why I am posting.
I have been reading a book called Knowing God
which has been wonderful. The chapter I just finished is about the Holy Spirit. It has really humbled me (which I always need). As a wife, I can struggle with being subject to my husband's authority. I pray that I never succumb to that temptation ever again. Because of the tremendous example found in Christ Himself, I should look to service and submission as true greatness, a sweet communion with my Savior. Second, there is the work of the Holy Spirit, who is not only subject to God the Father, but also is subject to Christ. AND the work of the Spirit is to be a helper to saints and further the work done by Christ as He dwelt breifly among us. It is mind boggling to me that GOD would choose to give that kind of 24/7 personal, sacrificial (at least in my opinion) care and oversight to me. Me the struggling housewife who gets in a huff if the fact that the floor was recently swept goes unnoticed by my family (and by unnoticed I mean that no one breaks down emotionally over the amazing and selfless servant that I am to the rest of the group.) I am indeed a wretched sinner in need of a Savior, a Father, and a Divine Helper. Thank you God, for grace, freedom, and the hope of heaven!!!
