The Bartlett Family Adventure

The Bartlett Family Adventure is all about the moments that take my breath away as I grow in the glory of God, and live my life to the best of my ability while raising two rowdy boys. This blog is not just about me, it also includes stories of my family's daily adventures. We home school our boys, are trying to grow our fruits and vegetables, we are all on a journey to God, we are trying to live sustainably, and most importantly love the life we lead. Sometimes we stumble, but mostly I like to think we prevail. I am blogging to keep a sort of shared journal. Our life may be messy but it is perfect.

A lost travler looking for the light

I know I haven't posted an update to our goals for the year in a couple of months. I will get to it but not today. Today I want to talk about searching for meaning, a higher power, God. I have always wanted to believe in God but I feel as if I have taken a left turn and missed that part of childhood. So believe it or not I want God in our daily lives. I have seen his work first hand through my children and my husbands complete recovery from cancer. I know God is Good and I know he is always there. I know he listens when we ask him too. What I am not good at is prayer. I have heard the most beautiful prayers that touch the soul on the wings of angels. Mostly when I pray I ask for strength, guidance, patience, or I pray short prayers for those I love or ask for it. I want my children to have faith, where they can turn to God when they need him most. So how do you have a relationship when you have no church? When you don't know how to join the church. I feel Lost.

There was an Angel figurine that I want it is an Angel on her knees praying and across her belly it says Lord Hear our prayer. I thought it was profound and beautiful. Isn't that what we are always asking. Lord hear me. Lord Lead me. Lord Help me. Lord Know me. Maybe we should go to him and know him and his glory. The question I have is How do I get there?

God is God, and God is Good.
