Life as a revolving door - a personal blog from Mommy

Over the past five years, I think about how many people have walked in and out of my life....just like a revolving door.

revolving door: "Used to refer to a situation in which the same events or problems recur in a continuous cycle."

I could fill a page with a list, I can't really say that its my favorite thing to think about - however when I looked at life's past experience that have been handed to me, I have learned a tremendous amount about being a:

1. daughter
2. a sister
3. a wife
4. a mother
5. an aunt
6. a sister in law
7. a daughter in law
8. a cousin
9. a neice
10. a grandaughter
11. a friend
12. and most importantly a Christian.

Its hard to believe that every single one of these relationships have been effected...some in more than one way. Some in a postive way and some in a way that if I used negatively it wouldn't even begin to accurately describe it.

From these experiences I have learned that Jesus Christ is my Rock, the only one in the entire universe that will constantly remain consistent and offer an exuberant love for me and everything about my life.

"The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.The cords of death encompassed me,And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me. The cords of Sheol surrounded me;The snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple,And my cry for help before Him came into His ears." Psalm 18:2-6

I have to admit that this encourages me to daily strive to be more like Him. What an amazing "reputation" He has.

In the pain, the hurt and the trials of life - I praise the maker of the universe, because these times in my life is where I'm forced to trust Him, He knows that and I know that this is His purpose. He is the ONLY one who knows the true desires of hearts, sees where repair, restoration and revitalization can take place.

I'll continue to wait on Him. Knowing that each night I lay my head on the pillow, I'm at peace and in complete understanding and obedience to my Savior....because everything in life has one purpose, to bring God the greatest glory and I do not want to miss any opportunity to give God the greatest glory, what he deserves and requires of us as His children.

"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. " Isaiah 40:31
