The message in church just today spoke so close to my heart. The transition of moving from Iowa to Great Falls has been just that. Transition. And transition is tough.
I'm making a concerted effort to focus on what's really important this week. We've been challenged to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to us the areas that we need to give over to Him each day this week to assist in doing this. "Fasting (giving something up for an intended purpose and time frame for an intended result) has been the challenge.
I'm 'fasting' Facebook. How dumb does that sound? I've let updates, conversations, 'likes', snooping, picture lookin', commenting, joking, thumbs upping, friend accepting, group joining, poll taking, quiz matching, and photo uploading take away from what is and should be first and foremost on my priority list. Time with the Saviour. Time in the Word. Prayer. Fulfilling my purpose here on Earth to be a whole-hearted follower of Christ.
Time for a refocus, Me!

And so... she shall retreat from speed blogging (FB), and turn to real blogging. ;-) LOL!! In all seriousness... good for you, there must be balance in all things. I hope you find the focus you are looking for.
Sounds like something I should do! Since you're not on facebook this week, thought I'd post my status update from last night on here for you. Ready? "Eight days until we find out whether this baby is a girl or a boy! :) Can not wait for next Tuesday's ultrasound! I'm due February 23rd!"
Thought that was worth sharing with you!

I have been missing you out here in blogger world!!!! and I could not agree more.....the prayers will definitely continue for you all Kristin. You will do amazing things in your women's ministry - can't wait to hear how it goes....by the way, I am taking my first Beth Moore study on Tuesdays now...
