It’s been a long year. Anyone paying attention can probably agree with that. 2020 has had its ups and downs and definitely represents when God reroutes our plans. In this past year, the pandemic started, I had a second child, and I stopped working outside of the home. You’d think that I would have more time at home, but with two kids, it has been a whirlwind of to do’s, joyful moments, and trying times.
Although 2020 has been a tough year, I’ve been thankful for the blessings that God has provided during this time. This is beginning to sound like an end of the year post. Anyway, I’m hoping to get back into blogging again, but it won’t be very often during this period of time in my life. I’m aiming for once a week, but as the business of the holidays are coming, it might only be a couple of times a month.
This year has also shown me some things that I have known about myself, but haven’t really delved into. I struggle with being a housewife. I can’t keep things in order the way that I want to and I struggle with reconciling my desire for working and pursuing higher education with being a wife and mother and keeper of the house. Therefore I’ve decided to study Biblical Womanhood as my next segment. I think studying this subject will encompass my duties and desires as well as help me to refocus on what is important: God. It is pretty easy to get caught up in the daily duties and forget to praise the Creator for all He has done for me. I have a list of books that I wish to read through while studying this subject as well as to take a journey through the Bible and look at instances of womanhood and how it is presented (both good and bad.)
I hope that all of you are doing well during this time and are able to focus more on God amidst all the struggles that this year has brought. Our hope is not in this world, because it will fade away. Our hope is in the unchanging God who has created us and prepared a place for us with Him in heaven.
“Sing to the Lord, you His faithful ones
and praise His holy name.
For His anger lasts only a moment,
but His favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may stay overnight,
but there is joy in the morning.”
– Psalm 30:4-5
