Living and Learning

I am living and learning everyday. God is growing me through his flowers and sometimes thorns; but, always with grace. I am so happy that you will join me on this journey to grow as a Proverbs 31 woman. I know it will not always be easy and it is sure to be humorous at times but with God all things are possible. (Even controlling my tongue....) I am a poster child for the "sandwich" generation... which is why I struggled with the naming of this blog since my monogram is pBj. My parents are aging and I am quickly becoming the parent to them and my babies are still little. I have a 4 year old angel and a 9 year old superstar. My children and my husband are the loves of my life. God has blessed me with them to walk by my side. I hope to be able to share practical and spiritual things that God teaches me as I care for my parents and children. My prayer is that you will find it helpful and uplifting.

The bible teaches us to walk by faith and not by sight in 2 Cor. 5:7. Oh how I have learned over the past few weeks how hard this can be. This chapter goes on to talk about how we will all come before the judgement seat of Christ. I encourage anyone who is feeling that life is treating them "unfairly" to meditate on this chapter. We will be accountable for what we do on this earth. Thank our Lord, that we do not have to answer for anyone else. We can trust in the fact that if we call upon our Father to guide us and we do what is right that He sees and He will love us through any situation. Then we can rest in the fact that we do not have to concern ourselves with everyone or everything that treats us unjustly in this life. Fair is for us to die for our sins, so we should be so grateful and thankful that our Father made a way for us NOT to be treated fairly.

Thank you, Father, for sending your son to pay the price for my sins so that I may live undeservingly in heaven with You someday.
