How is God working in Jordyne’s current season of life
Confession. I was feeling a little left out, so I’m joining the #WomensWednesday fun. & for those of you that don’t know me well, here’s a little about the girl behind the camera/computer.
How is God working in Jordyne’s current season of life:
“The better question is “how is God NOT working in my life!?” He’s doing A LOT.
I’m about to dive in deep here so I hope you are along for the ride. I also love lists and outlines so here goes😂 :
🔹Seeing God in all & Praying Unceasingly🔹
Being a mother of four, the days are busy, to say the least. Between diaper changes, chauffeuring, breaking up fights, making meals, cleaning/laundry, I brainstorm content ideas, write, design graphics, plan for this space, and more…
With busyness comes distraction. Distraction leads to disconnection with our good Lord. While I sit with God every morning in the Word, as the day goes on I forget to invite Him into the details of my day. He waits patiently for me and taps me on the shoulder in my moments of anxiety and says, “I’m not only here in the mornings you know…”
🔹Contentment🔹
God is constantly reminding me “Look around, what more could you want? The things you want are fleeting and temporary. I have given you all you need.”
That the next big upgrade or possession will do nothing but leave me in a vicious cycle of comparison and wanting more. When I find myself in the trap of comparison and discontent, He is always reminding me that HE is what will fill that void.
🔹Trusting Him🔹
In most seasons previous to the one I am in, there was a clear path, your typical “stuff” for a lack of a better term — go to school, graduate, find a job, have kids, get married, etc. Alongside raising my children, God has led me to a path that REQUIRES me to constantly trust Him with my every move. He’s led me to LEAD Bless You My Daughter.
“Get comfortable being uncomfortable, my daughter. Not sure what to write, say, do next? Just WAIT, I’ll show you when it’s time.”
My response is always, “Uuuuuuhhhh, Jesus, you know me, right? I need a plan, I need to know. And now would be good, mmmkay?” I can literally hear Him laughing at my stubbornness. He has given me the comfort in knowing all will be well, but to trust Him along the way. I am beyond thankful He led me here.
🔹 Learning to Love Myself 🔹
Satan likes to whisper lies into my ear that I am not good enough — that my worth is based on a number on the scale, how many wrinkles line my face, how gracefully I speak, and more. I call on the Lord often to help me love myself as HE loves me.
Every dent of cellulite, every line of age, every stretch mark.
He stitched this body together in my mother’s womb and has done the same with my four children. If only chanting “I am fearfully & wonderfully made” (Psalm 139) made us truly believe it. I’ll keep doing it anyway. 😂
🔹Being a role model for my kids & an example to others🔹
As my girls get older, they notice things. They hear me preach but not always practice. Living a god-honoring life sometimes means removing things that pull us from Him, even if we love it, and adding things to bring us closer. Our Lord and I have been slowly discerning what these things are. I am asking Him for the courage to add and remove what I should, even if that means altering some of my relationships, so I can be an example to my children and display God’s grace and love to those around me.”
Phew! Thank you for reading and share if you can relate. I’ll take your prayers, and I’ll keep praying for you in your season of life.
