Take each day as a gift from God, thanking him for it, and serving him in it.
{Love these sweet babies…well they aren't babies anymore.}
February 2014 my rowdy heart was left empty, futile, and hollow. There was nothing but the subtle beat of defeat. I no longer had my ministry that had been my purpose for 18 years. The completeness I felt with each child's hug, smile, and 'I love you' was now gone.
True satisfaction comes in knowing you are doing what God has purposed you to do.
At this point, I believed I would never have true satisfaction again. I no longer had a purpose. This is the lie Satan wants us to believe. I wallowed in it for a few months before I came to my senses and began to seek God.
Don't build your life on perishable pursuits, but on the solid rock - God.
I made it my goal to search for God's will for my life daily. In return, God has given me a new purpose. A life that is full of love, joy, and happiness by ministering to children and women on our farm. This fullness comes from God alone; not my new ministry, husband, kids, banking account, friends, chickens, and the list goes on. When I felt like I lost everything, I still had God.
Everything apart from God is empty, hollow, and meaningless!
