Divine Love

Effort

I chose effort as my 2024 word of the year. I hope to put more effort into life and in giving of myself. Too many times I expect a great life to happen without effort. And then I’m disappointed with the results.

The day Jace and I got engaged the Lord gave me message in song that He’s regifted many times to me. And I feel unworthy.. 

“Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small. Love so amazing, so divine, demands my life, my soul, my all.” *

    I don’t know how to put into words how this song makes me feel. 

Eternally grateful. Humbled. And mostly in awe. At my Creator. For the man He gave me. How did He know that Jace would be life itself to me? And Summer and Saylor.. Truly, they demand my life, my soul, my all. But He often reminds me, “Love so amazing, so divine demands my all.” He emphasizes that it is demanding but it’s because of a great gift. And I feel humbled again. Serving my family seems as a privilege instead of a job. 

…And I never can thank You half enough.🎶🎵
