An offer you can't refuse

Wow, it has been a month since I last posted! I feel really neglectful, yet inspired.
Today is the first official day of summer for me- yay! I was incredibly sick with tonsillitis (in both tonsils) during exam week-- and moving week-- so I had a lot of loose ends to tie up this weekend. But I'm all done now, all settled in to my new digs- dad's house. Hey, it's free food, no rent, I'm likin' it. But there's a catch. I'm the housewife. That's right-- I cook, I clean, I go grocery shopping. I'm not gonna lie... it's pretty darn awesome. It's everything I've ever wanted to be-- minus the little munchkins running around. On the other hand, I get the best of both worlds! I get to nanny full-time (basically being a stay-at-home-mom). I have a feeling I'm going to like this summer... :)
Now for a little pep talk (not just for you, but for me as well). I have really been discovering myself these past few months. God has been working His great plan into me, and things are finally starting to feel like they're coming together again. It's been a rough couple of months, but I am happy to say that my heart is completely full in Him. He showed me one early March morning by blinding me with an order I couldn't not obey. I didn't want to do it. I was so happy, so full (or so I thought). Little did I know, God was showing me that He was in control-- that I needed to be full in Him, not in someone else. I didn't want it to happen, but God wanted it to happen. I didn't understand what was going on. I didn't know how to feel, how to comprehend the situation. It took weeks of prayer, quiet time, and counsel from big brothers to become completely able to see what was happening in me. All it took was one "no" to someone I cared so much about, and one "yes" to the One who would always care more for me than I could imagine. If God is clearly speaking to you right now, telling you to walk away from something that is good, my advice is for you to obey, as hard as it will be. Because I can assure you, He will undoubtedly give you something great in place of that something good. And that something great is His love, His grace, and His mercy. It's an offer you just can't refuse.
