Better Late than never

I’ve gotten a very late start with my quiet time this morning. It was a long night. Hope was sleepwalking again, Taylor is sick and Kennedy’s ears are draining pretty bad, and she’s running a fever. And for some reason I was just so tired last night…..I was trying to sleep heavy but kept being disturbed! But that’s ok…..it’s what mommy’s are for. =) I’m getting very concerned about Hope, I think it may be time to go see the dr. about this sleepwalking. I don’t want it to get worse. Although I have to wonder, is there anything they can even do about it???? Maybe I should do some research on the Internet today……because you know you can believe everything you read online!!! =) hee hee.

Yesterday, I was able to stop by a friend from Sunday school’s house for a little while for our girls to play. It was hard to talk with five kids running around but I feel like God really answered a big prayer of mine with this lady. She has a heart so similar to mine! And we both are struggling in some of the same areas. But what I was so in awe of was this woman’s boldness for Christ. She is willing to take a stand no matter what. I feel like I always want to “love” everyone, never make anyone mad or upset with me, or uncomfortable around me. She said something that really stood out to me……..She said that she really does not care what anyone, even her husband thinks of her, as long as she knows that when she stands before God, all is well. And I started thinking about how many times in my life I push away that little tugging feeling on my soul to step out and take that leap of faith and tell someone about the Lord. I’ve always felt like the way people will be able to see Christ inside of me was through my walk with him………but maybe I’m wrong. I mean…..I think we need to have the light of Christ shine through us through all situations good and bad. But, I know several people who have great walks with Christ but really don’t step out of their comfort zones very much or at all! Perhaps I’m one of them!

Then this morning I was reading another person’s blog and she was talking about how we tend to push off compliments and other kind words as to not bring attention to ourselves, but in reality we should always be accepting the compliments and giving God the glory for each of them through our responses. That takes boldness to do that! Maybe that’s what Christ really wants from me is boldness. I have to say it does take boldness to write on this blog each day. I’m always fearful of the judgements people will pass but that’s not why I write. I don’t know……..I’m just not sure where I stand on all of this. I think we need to be bold but how bold? Can we be to extreme with our boldness? Like, I’ve known some people who get on my nerves because I try to have a conversation with them and all they do is respond with, Well you know God’s got it all worked out……..but when in reality I just want to have another person’s opinion about something. But is that the response we are supposed to have?

I don’t even know if any of this makes sense today…….I hope it does. =) I’m just very tired today, and of course it’s a yucky day out. This weather has been crazy….warm….cold…..rainy…..sunny…..it just can’t make up it’s mind! =) Well, I’m gonna pray about this whole boldness thing and just see where God leads. Let’s be Bold, post your comments about this one!!! =) I’d love to know what you think! Have a blessed day!
