Redeemed… Restored… Renewed
What do these words mean to me? Where will they take me this year?
This past few months have been a little bit of a struggle for me. I have laughed A LOT, cried more often than I wanted to, been frustrated, overwhelmed, delighted, and challenged.
I think this will be a season of great change for me. But not sure what that change will look like.
The foremost thought on all of this is…I feel….??
Well, as women, sometimes it is hard to explain just HOW we feel…
I am NOT handling aging very well AT ALL. Three times in that last few months, I have been asked if I quailify for the “over 50” discount. I AM 47 PEOPLE!! J Then there is the extra few pounds that seem to NOT want to leave me, then “the glasses” . I have been using readers for a while, but it has gotten so bad that I finally had to go the eye doctor. So…now I will have to wear progressive lenses…which are a little BIGGER then I would like. May seem trivial, but everything is relative to who you are.
I have felt a pulling to this new “craft” of “Up doing” or “restoring”. I have been taking old items and made them new. Made them different and in my opinion beautiful. I have felt the Lord bless me in this, direct me in this and give me great ideas. He even inspired a name “A Simpler Life”. Yet so far it has been a bust in selling anything. Yet I still feel God has given me this craft, outlet and the creativity for it.
Now a new challenge has evolved it all…redeemed…restored…renewed! Does this not only have something to do with “my craft” but my heart too? My life, my attitude, my season?
Redeemed…Restored…Renewed…this is what my life needs…
More to come…
