Hello dear friends!
Again, it has been several years since my last update. I have been recently contemplating starting a new blog and that is what brought me back to this blog, which I have greatly neglected. Once again, so much has happened in my life. The most important of which is, I am now a mother. My son turned one recently and this past year has been a whirlwind! Motherhood has changed so much of my outlook and so much of myself, in the most beautiful and surprising ways. I recently celebrated the Jewish New Year and was reflecting on it's odd placement compared to our calendar. There's always something abot the crisp air of the fall, the crunch of the leaves during a stroll that brings about an undeniable feeling of newness. This year, I have been truly excited to feel the fresh breath of a new season on the horizon. Perhaps our calendar has it wrong? Who knows. But this season has brought about a newness that I didn't realize I'd been longing for. There have been so many ups and downs these past few years, and I have carried those scars and those regrets. But through it all, the Lord has carried me and has reminded me of this: that He is a Creator, He restores sight to the blind and sound to the deaf. He calls forth to the dry bones and brings them back to life. He is always doing a new thing. I feel that I am, and have been, carrying a lot words within me, a lot of experiences which haven't had any space or medium to come into expression. I feel that this may be the season for those words to spring forth to life. This might be the time where the Lord does a new thing in me. All of my experiences, all the regrets, and the ups and downs have a purpose that the Lord will reveal in this season. Praise God for His faithfulness, His Grace, His Mercy, His Patience. He is so good and we are blessed to be called His. Isaiah 43:19 ESV Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Life Update continued:
I got married one year ago in August and chose this song (How Great the Father's Love for Us) to walk down the aisle to. This song and the gravity of marriage, the symbolism of Christ, the Church and the Father's love, brought me to tears during my walk down the aisle. I could not stop crying until I reached the top and was in the arms of my husband to be. In those moments walking down the aisle, I thought of my soon to be husband who had pursued me, had forgiven me countless times and was willing to marry an imperfect woman such as myself - the beauty of it brought me to tears as I thought of the Father. That my Lord and God, Creator of the universe, had sent the world his only Son to pay the ultimate price at the Cross broke me down. This is the mystery alluded to in Ephesians 5. The beauty of marriage is in that Cross, and in that sacrifice. We, the Church are His Bride, we are the one pursued and loved despite of our sins. We don't deserve it, but we are forgiven and He has promised to bring us into eternal union with Him. My tears flowed without ceasing as I saw a glimpse of God's glory and His promise in the blurry vision of my groom at the front as he stood ready for me to join him at his side. To call that a profound moment would be an understatement. It was beyond anything that words can describe. God yearns and waits for us, and He is calling every one of us to His side. If you do not know the Lord, pray and invite Him into your life. You might be surprised by the results. He will come and He will change everything you know forever. Amen. Hi everyone!
It's been 3 years since my last post! I can hardly believe it! It's been a very long journey but it's been very fruitful time in the Lord. I have not lost my faith, but instead, it has strengthened! I became very busy (and that is the major reason I put aside this blog). I have many life updates that I will give in due time. I'm thinking of reconfiguring this website and updating a few things so I can slowly return to posting on here. It will be different this time and excited to see what God wants me to say to you. I will keep this update brief and end on a positive note. Isaiah 43:19 (NIV) See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. We should pray for the American Church. The outside world is quickly taking over as the primary source of belief and trust in God and the sufficiency of His Word is being lost. We must pray for God to have grace and bring revival to America.
I'm very excited for Easter. More coming soon..
Spring is in the air, and I thought it was time for some change! I love the new look and I hope you do too! If you are opposed to the new look, please leave me a message. It's a new day, my blog has a new look and the best part is the new season that's springing. Please keep me in your prayers as summer comes around! I will hopefully write more later this month! - E I found this online and thought I would share! I haven't watched all of it but it's interesting how this was done in the few scenes I've watched. I randomly clicked at a spot in the film and landed on Matthew 7 and Christ's sermon (which I have quoted here many times). Anyway, I pray that you are blessed by this! If you feel like reading Matthew at any point, feel free to watch the visual Gospel of Matthew.
