There has been so much happening in my life since the beginning of 2015. In some ways it doesn't seem like a lot, but in other ways it does.
Recently my brothers and I have been dealing with my mom being in the hospital. That in itself is a lot to deal with. I've been travelling back and forth every weekend (there have been a couple that I've not gone, though) to be with Mom. The drive is nearly three hours each way. I don't mind the drive, but it does get tiring. I don't really want to get into much detail on here of my mom's situation.
Anyway, there have been times lately (particularly this past week), where I don't know what direction God has in store for me. I really don't know if I'm on the right path or if I have ventured off and am trying to go down another way that I shouldn't be on (or be on right now). I've been praying about all of this and trying to leave it in God's hands, because He, after all, is the one who is in control. It's not always easy, and there are times when I feel as though I have left it with Him. Other times I definitely know I've taken things back and I'm the one trying to be in control.
Mostly I'm OK, but there are times when I feel overwhelmed with the current situation, or I feel like I'm such a failure at things. It's probably at these times when the enemy is trying to have his way and get me to not focus on the Lord or trust Him.
At any rate, I'm doing fine, but just need to often readjust my focus and remember that I'm not in control. Most days are good, but I do have times where I feel defeated and lost. No one said that life would be easy. I mean, things aren't that bad. I am feeling tired and I just wish I had a little more direction or knew exactly what I am supposed to do.
Anyway, I'm just rambling on - probably because I'm tired. I just need to pray more and trust God more. It's not easy, but I know I can do it!
