Into my heart...

Hi blog reading friends, 

Every once in awhile ( when I feel led) I want to share some of what is on my heart. I consider myself to be a praying woman and I rededicated my life to Christ in 2012. It feels like so long ago and I still have those "flesh leading" moments that I have to keep in check during this walk. I just had a baby and one thing that has been heavy in my spirit is the huge change during this season. I LOVE my son more than anything, but the challenges that have come as a result of motherhood have been a huge hurdle for me. One of the major obstacles has been battling and overcoming pride. While money is the root of all evil I also believe that pride is the root of all destruction. Having a baby is humbling. Having to depend on my husband more and more is humbling. Trying to launch a Vegan company and be a new entrepreneur is humbling. Some days I just don't want to be humble! When you're in the beginning of a new season it is so tempting to covet or lust after someone else's life who is already where you aspire to be or just living a life you think is cool. DON'T fall for this trap! There is more than enough room for all of us. Choose to attack those thoughts with what you KNOW is true. Your season will come if you know what you are aiming towards is God's will. Take a social media break. Take a praise break and listen to worship music. I encourage you not to fall for the pity party for yourself. Life has so much promise ahead for you if you will push through to see it come to fruition. I love how the Lord promises us so much and still gives us the CHOICE to have free will. We get to decide which route we will go. So today as I woke up feeling sluggish I had to play an oldie but goodie by Victory World Music called "Lifter of my head." It put my mind and heart into perspective. I challenge you to do the same if you find yourself dealing with the challenges of a new season. Take care!
