Sometimes life feels like an uphill battle!
Each one of us has seasons of delight or difficulty, yet both good and bad times present opportunities.
As a believer, every day of my life is a test of my relationship with my Creator – testing my trust in Him to provide…
In January of 2019, Mom and I started traveling full-time in our little homestead on wheels – a 22ft travel trailer.
During our adventure, I’d find work at campgrounds in the places we wanted to explore. This way I could help with expenses!
Last year, due to Mom’s advancing years, we decided it was time to get off the road. We had high hopes of finding a traditional farmhouse and putting our little homestead on wheels out to pasture!
The campground where I’d been working closed down for the season, so, we migrated south to be near family! We settled into a rustic little campground in the middle of nowhere and started searching for our ‘forever homestead.’
Obtaining work in our new locale has proved difficult. So, I started a business as an independent consultant selling freeze-dried foods. But even that was an uphill battle!
It’s this testing that’s come through my circumstances that helps me know my own heart better… and appreciate Gods grace more deeply!
I have become more aware of my thoughts… my attitudes… and my emotions! And it’s through this self awareness that God has shown me where I need to yield to Him in trusting obedience!
I admit, there are still times when I want to give up… when anger, frustration and resentment rear their ugly little heads… but it’s my faith in God that keeps me going! And, it’s the uphill battles that will shape me into becoming the woman that God has created me to be!
Until next time,
Peace, love and safe travels!
