This past week I have been reading a fabulous book that my friend Ashley gave to me. It is called a Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers. It is about 5 women that were Jesus' ancestors, and how they were unlikely women to change history. They had huge challenges but faced them with ALL of their faith in the Lord, and they prevailed. It allowed me to look at myself and realize how I trust my plan more than His, and how I need to put all of my faith in Him for He knows what my plan is. It was also reassuring to know that God picked these women who were sinners and not perfect by any means, but He found them worthy of wonderful things. I feel like that a lot of the time, that I am so unworthy of His grace and blessings, but that just makes me appreciate them even more. I am trying to lean on God more and trust that He has the best planned for me. It is funny because every time I plan something, I feel like God laughs and says, "yeah right, I don't think so"! But, in all those times that He has thrown me off my plan, He puts me back on track and everything seems to fall into place and is easy. One of the best of His plans thus far is my angel Ansley. She was definitely not on my plan, but it just goes to show that I don't know what I am doing and He does! I would not trade her for my old plan for anything in the world. Needless to say, the book really got me thinking, and you should check it out if you are looking for a book to read....you won't be able to put it down!!
Tomorrow is supposed to be really nasty here, so we will most likely stay in for the day. That means that I will post lots of pictures that we took this week. I hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!!
