Oh wow! How true does that psalm feel to me right now. I am so joyful and happy in leaning on the arms of Christ. It sounds so silly, but to me I feel like such an infant in my joy for His provision. As I venture to trusting God to get me to Bethel I am seeing the little things that count so much! They count so much because I know it is all being done by God! I know that God is giving me an amazingly wonderful deal on my plane ticket out. I know that God is allowing the perfect gap of time for my parents to come to Redding to see where I will be living and to help me move.The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. Psalm 28:7
Even today, as I live and do the things I do normally, I see God with me. As I spend time with Him and nurture this hunger I have for Him, I see how easy it is to be with Him in all things. I see that the things that used to bother me go away.
I'm not sure what has changed. A couple months ago or even a year ago, it was so hard for me to be happy about life. I definitely had a love for God, but something left that I had when I first started my walk. I was less hungry. I was filling myself with things that did not last, like knowledge. Don't get me wrong-learning is great! We need to learn, but when you come to the point when your only hope for living in this world is to have knowledge and to understand everything...it gets tiring. You never think you're good enough.
I love all the experiences I had in the last 2 years! I loved them all and I would never take them back. I lost my focus though. I lost my steam and energy for loving God.
Lord! I ask for more, more, more! I am so thrilled by Your promises! Your promises are true to everyone! I pray for your promises to be released to all who have come across this blog and desire to know! You promise the best for all because You are good :) ALWAYS. And You made us good. Help us to see again what is good in us and what You created us for and give You the glory.
In Jesus name!
I love that God just used you through a blog to encourage me in my faith! Thank you for sharing your heart and trust in the Lord. I pray that God will touch many with your heart and words. You are truly an amazing young woman that God has incredible plans for. Love you!
