Newness

This morning I sit here in my room. The sun shining through my bedroom window shouting out to all who will listen that a new day has arrived..  Newness.  .a new school year, a new season, new changes.

And here in our home that rings true..  we have started our homeschooling year. It has been going well. I am hoping as the year continues things run along smoothly.

Our second day of school my 17 year old son went in for a day surgery. With the help of my older children I was able to keep homeschooling going and our home life moving along.

Today marks our 4th day and I am looking ahead with joy!

Also the fall season is upon us and the fall Feasts will arrive in Sept. beginning with Yom Teruah..

We begin to prepare our hearts for what Father will teach us.

My first lesson will be to really live in the here and now. I am sure that those mama's who have lost a child will understand how my mind can be so occupied with loss and fear..

But a newness has come into my heart..  Elohim wants to break off those chains of bondage that fear and loss have kept me in.

I can't fully live in the joy of NOW because my future is about what if's. What if's - the fear of loss..

Yeshua came to give us abundant life right here, right now!

He speaks gently to my heart telling me to notice the joy everyday..to live fully present here in this moment.

 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. John 10:10

So the question I must ask, is will I let the enemy of my soul steal from me? Will I let him keep me so focused on tomorrow and the fear of more loss or pain that I forget how to live today?

So my prayer is that with all the new day to day I will make a choice to live in the moments that make up my todays and leave my tomorrow's in Yahweh's capable and loving hands.
