rivers of water

I feel like I've been on a sabbatical from writing.... is that the right word? maybe, maybe not. I guess it wasn't completely intentional. I've just been busy living life! Also, if I don't know what to write about... I just don't write! (suggestions for topics are welcome!).

 

December was busy. Birthdays (grandmother, 2 nieces, mine.....), Christmas festivities, shopping, enjoying family in from out of town, and many other things. Did I mention I caught that nasty virus that is going around two weeks ago? I'm still recovering, but definitely a lot better than I was!

 

The holidays are done. And I'm ok with that. After getting married in October, moving in with my hubby, going on a honeymoon, getting used to life together, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years..... I'm looking forward to "normal" everyday life. establishing routines. digging into the Word. and learning and growing with my husband.

 

But I also know life isn't necessarily going to slow down at all.... So we pray for God's guidance in ALL we do. The paths we walk, decisions we make, and the work we invest ourselves into. May we be like trees planted by rivers of water...

 

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    Nor stands in the path of sinners,
    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    And in His law he meditates day and night.

He shall be like a tree
    Planted by the rivers of water,
    That brings forth its fruit in its season,
    Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1
