Entrusted

Recent events have caused me to pause and reflect. First, I am thankful. Just oh so thankful. I am thankful for the life I have. I am thankful for my husband who works harder than any man I have ever, ever met so he can provide for us. I am thankful for my beautiful son, so long awaited!!! I am thankful for my job AND for the fact that my sweet little boy is only a building away from me during my day. But there is that word again..."My". I have been thinking (dangerous, considering my little man has not allowed me to get a full night of sleep since he was 3 months old...ha ha). None of this that I am blessed with is actually mine. It is all HIS. I have been entrusted. The realization of that is huge for me. HE has the right to ask me to be entrusted with something...but HE also chooses for how long. With our first two babies, I was entrusted for a shorter period of time than I would have liked...but HE knew something I did not know. I just want to be a trustworthy steward of these things that God has entrusted me with. I want to hear Him say, "You did so well, my child. I gave you some hard tasks and you completed each one just as I wanted you to." Learning this is helping me to walk through hard things...because life has hard things. But, it has also given me joy. Joy in knowing I do not have to stress. I can rest in knowing that HE has a time table. He is good...always good. ON a lighter note....here is my adorable almost 7 month blessing
