Relationship
**This is a post I wrote back in July of last year that I was never able to post due to internet issues. I figured I would post it now to get the ball rolling on posting again. Enjoy.
It's been awhile since I last wrote. My life is a lot the same and a lot different.
The Lord has shown me through a prophetic word that the call on my life is to be a teacher. Ever since April I have been steadily working towards that end in any and every way that I possibly can. It's a lot harder and a lot more fulfilling than I ever thought it would be. All I have to say is God, you are so much smarter than I give you credit for sometimes.
There is so so much that I could say about all this, but I want to talk about what the Lord showed me today.
I was at work today thinking about how my husband Joey and I have a really good relationship. We really have a deep connection. I know that sounds kinda smooshy and like a sappy cliche thing to say, but truly we have a good relationship. As I was thinking on this and thanking the Lord for this, it was if He turned a light on for me.
I don't have the relationship that I have with Joey because I think "I am going to have a deep relationship with my husband!" I didn't set my mind to having a great relationship. I set my mind to relationship. I am committed to staying in relationship with Joey, my husband. Being his wife isn't something that I focus on and work at as much as I just am it. I am Joey's wife; I don't work in order to be Joey's wife.
Now is there work involved in being Joey's wife? Yes obviously. But is that what I focus on daily? Is that my goal? By no means! I focus on relationship. When the work is hard and I don't want to do it, when it doesn't seem profitable or logical, it's the commitment I've made to Joey - my relationship with him that causes me to do those things.
It should be the same with the Lord. I should be committed to relationship with Him. It's not so much something I do as something I am.
It's not as complicated as I make it sometimes.
Is there work involved? Yeah there is. But is that what I should be focusing on all the time?
