Having diligently worked on cleaning the field behind the barn, I was tired and a little depressed. I found my broody hen dead Monday morning and her seven eggs eaten. I have put a lot of time and effort in my little brood and laugh if you must, but a whole lot of my heart into my little ladies. I have yet to find a snake in the coop, but I know I have some kind of varmint that loves my eggs.
So, when the slow rain started this morning, I knew God was speaking to my heart and He had provided the quiet relaxing rain to soothe my sore mind. With cup of coffee in hand, I sat in the rocker watching the raindrops slowly descent on my little world. There came a flood of blessings as I sat and contemplated all the changes in my world over the last few months. I could have dwelled on the many hardships and disappointments, but they did not even cross my mind. God has been extremely good to me. Having always had a deep and abiding trust that God would lead me where He needed me to be, I have leaned on His guidance more in the past year than ever before and true to His promise I have been greatly blessed.
There have been many times in my life that I distanced myself from God and His love and tried to make a go of life on my own. After all I am an intelligent person with great decision making skills, but it never worked. There was always something missing or things would just fall apart. After a good many "fall downs" I realized that God's decision making skills were a great deal better than mine and following His directions were always so much simpler and a positive outcome always followed.
There are still a few projects God has me working on and with the blessings I have received following his instructions, I know He will see these through to fruition.
Thanks for the visit and until next time . . .
Happy reading!
Belle
