I have been heavily convicted recently, that I surround myself with other believers. It's comfortable for me. We share the same thoughts and beliefs (mostly). And when I am around those who don't believe, I rarely bring up the salvation that God has offered us. I am Hosea's wife.
I haven't had much to write about recently. Life is going by normally, or as normal as it can be with a 2 year old boy. We've been playing out in the leaves as much as possible, watching combines, trying to stay healthy, and all the other things that come with this time of year.
Fall is definitely my favorite season. The weather is cool, the trees are beautiful, the crops are being harvested. I just get a sense of anticipation around this time, although I am not looking forward to winter... I wonder if I would like a snowless life? Would I miss it? I guess I would miss the slight dusting, but not getting snowed in and stuck.
Oh, I have been a bit touchy recently - not sure where that's coming from, but I know that Nate is anxious for it to go away :) So, that's what is going on with me, what's going on with you?
I officially learned yesterday that sometimes people will use any excuse to stop attending church. Petty, silly things when their eternal destination is currently pointed downward. People who believe in God, raised in the church, but just can't seem to see the forest for the trees. And it really frightened me.
People that I love just don't want to recognize that they desperately need God, and so my heart is breaking. But what do I do? I pray, I'm open to talking, but really I think that I've just continued to make them comfortable in current circumstances. How disappointing of me. It's eternity in hell for them...if something drastic doesn't happen. And I think it's going to be hard for everyone involved, but I have to give it God. And trust He can work in their lives.
