So I am new to this whole blogging thing so bear with me while I figure it out. I love journaling, so I figured I might as well share a little with the world. So here goes nothing...my first post:

I'm Kacey Lynn <3

  I know I don't have all the answers, but I daily read a book that does.
 I know that I'm not always quick to forgive others who wrong me, but I follow a God who is.
 I know I'm not always the greatest at listening to others problems, but I pray to One who is.
 I know I have so many flaws and imperfectipons, but I follow Someone who has not one. 
 I know I don't have it all together, but I believe in a Savior that does.
 I know I can be filled with pride sometimes, or should I say all the time, but I follow a Humble  Servant who has nothing but humility within Him. 

 So as I come to these realizations I ask that you don't look at me, but please focus on the Jesus that lives in me! 
I don't pray for humility, I pray for a better understanding of who God is and who I am not and that within itself will leave me humbled. 
I don't pray for faith, I pray for opportunities to trust Him more so that my faith may be strengthened. 
I don't pray for God to take struggles away from me, I pray for the Spirit to strengthen my obedience so that I place the blame on myself for my shortcomings and not God. 
I don't pray for riches or fame, I pray that His Glorious riches and fame would be known. 
I need trials to grow, I need difficult times to discover joy. Because it is within those difficult times that God grows me. 
What I don't need is difficult times from my own inability to follow Him. 
If I'm not learning I'm probably not seeking. 
If I'm not growing I'm probably not risking. 
If I'm not hurting then I'm probably not loving enough.

NOW THOSE ALTARS IN THE WILDERNESS TELL THE STORY OF HIS FAITHFULNESS

There have been seasons in my life that lasted way longer than I would have liked them too. After a long while I began to realize wishing those seasons away and turning to so many things but Jesus to make those seasons end was not working, but instead was making me bitter. My prayer in those seasons went from, "take this cup from me" to, "as long as it takes to get to a place of surrender I'm gonna stay right here." My hard times brought me to a place of fully surrendering fear and fully trusting Jesus, something I struggled severely with. Our sweet son was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis last week. I think if this had happened before those other hard seasons I would be totally crippled by fear right now. But I can honestly say that I'm not fearful of what this diagnosis might bring, sad yes, but not afraid.  I used to always expect the worst. Expect whatever came next to be something that once again would bring bad news. This time, although it...

Ministry Isn't Easy

Exodus 4:10 But Moses pleaded with the LORD, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.” Sometimes we don't feel good enough to do what God has called us to do. And sometimes we use that as an excuse to get out of it because we give into fear. At least that's how it's been for me.  Initially when the Lord called me to start London Square Children’s Ministry my argument was, I'm not good at leading and organizing.  I can jump in and help someone else who is leading and organizing but I can't start up a Ministry and lead it. I'm not good at that. And although that is true, it's not my strong suit, He equipped me to do it. And much fruit came from it.  Then covid hit and I got pregnant.  A long season away from the Ministry for the safety of myself and my baby. But I think that safety from a virus turned into safety of my time and energy.  Honestly se...

Worth Fighting For

I understand why, after losing many loved ones and his faith still did not falter, satan wanted to attack Job's flesh. I understand why the enemy thought it would work when complete and utter heartache did not. It has been a year since my surgery and it has been the hardest year if my life. Chronic pain is discouraging. It is hard especially because people think since it has been a year and I look okay, that I am okay. Truth is, this pain has been harder on me than the pain I was in before surgery. My entire body hurts every second of every day. I'm exhausted. Completely exhausted. My future of birthing babies biologically has been shaken as well. Because of all of this, I have been throw into depression and anxiety and wanting to isolate myself. This is not like me at all. The simplest tasks like going to the store for milk or washing a dish completely overwhelm me. I want to be home all the time and not be around most people. Not once in my life have a felt this hopeless....
