It's going on 20 days since I've been in Texas with my family. Still so much learning going on that I was not expecting to get. I knew things would change and I knew I would grow, but I admit I didn't expect this. My mom and dad are amazing. They correct me in love, and get this, I don't get angry. That is a new me...THANK GOD! I actually listen to them and try to apply it to my life and make a change and it affects EVERYONE not just me.
We are not perfect things are not always happy go lucky, but we always pull together and through prayer we are getting through things. Mike is making a lot of changes in his life as well and I know God has caught him a little off guard as well. Let me tell ya something when God moves He MOVES! It's not just in one area of my life right now or just one relationship...it's many and I am so blessed by it. I am excited to see what God is doing.
I feel more alive and have a new joy about myself and others are begining to notice it as well. My mom loves to talk about joy and the joy of the Lord is our strength. I really never understood what that meant but this past week God has revealed to me what it means, or at least what it means to me and my life. I have been in the word more this past week than I have been I believe my entire life and my parents didn't even force me too. (lol)
I have started a new bible study just today about being the King's daughter. This is something I have heard quite a few times in my life but I read it today and I actually BELIEVED it. My attitudes have changed today and it's just amazing to see how God is working not just in me but everyone around. I am so blessed and I really look forward to seeing what else God has in store for me. Tomorrow I am going to a bible study at The Ark with my mom and possibly my sisters. I am a bit nervous...but then again excited.
Anywho it's time for a shower it's been a long day and tomorrow is full of many more of God's great blessings and lessons new. Love, Hugs & Blessings.

Our character defects never leave us completely. I believe it is so God can continue to build & mold us in His image. We can turn them into character assets. We can make living amends on a daily basis. This helps return us to sanity and to the person God wants us to be.
ReplyDeleteThe joy of the Lord is our strength!! In Him we can gather all the strength we need for whatever we face. We gain joy because we then realize He is the source of whatever we need! We get the strength we need when we seek Him every day and look for what He desires for us as opposed to the world. In that we find our joy because that is what we are created for--seeking Him and giving Him the glory.
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled that you are experiencing this in your life. It is amazing what God does with us when we give up our own ideas of what we think we need, and listen to Him.
