Fighting the Battle
You know that saying “it’s like riding a bike”?
It’s often used to say how even if you haven't done something in a very long time you'll undoubtedly remember how to do it naturally as soon as you get back on,
you can’t forget how to do it.
If I'm honest with you, I thought that is how I would feel after being off “work” for a month…
Man was I wrong!
It has been a sTrUgGle to create, be inspired, and find new ways to serve you well.
But there is one thing I did while I was away that helped me and I think would likely help you too if you ever find yourself in a similar place…
While I was away from “work” for a month The Lord both inspired and convicted me to “work” at
praying.
He revealed to me that the battles I am fighting won’t be solved by things that I can see because they aren’t caused by things that I can see.
He opened my eyes to the eminent attacks from the evil one on my husband.
He showed me how deeply he loves it when I simply lay my whole heart out to him every day instead of praying shallow little prayers.
He reminded me of the weapon that my prayers are.
So when I came back to “work” without inspiration, or passion I took it to the One whom I had learned to lay my heart before.
I prayed
And through prayer I felt His gentle nudging, confirmed by the wise advise from a couple dear friends, to look back at what sparked into existence My Two Cents all those years ago.
I flipped through the pages of my old Bible and as I did those green highlights jumped out at me, page after page, and took me back to that original thought in my 17-year-old brain,
“Why is no one in church talking about this when the Bible talks about it SO much!?”
15 years later I can say with glee that the church (slowly but surely) IS talking about this! There are far more authors, pastors, speakers, and organizations devoted to teaching rightly the Word of God on about finances than I ever had known!
I’m convinced (as I Pray over each of these other Christian finance companies) that I’m not in competition against them but with them.
In light of this, I’ve decided to prioritize lifting them up by prioritizing sharing with you an author, podcaster, speaker, organization, or content creator who is running this race with me in hopes that you will not only find another avenue to learn and grow from, but so that YOU can also be inspired to spread the word to your Small groups, friends, family, and churches about the invaluable resources that are far less known than they ought to be!
When you aren’t sure what you (or your loved ones) need. Pray. He knows. He hears you, and believe me, He is close even when you cannot feel him.
would you like to pray with me?
