I have this hunger for His word! I am in constant communication with Him! I'm diligently seeking His will for my life! I purpose everyday to be the woman He created me to be! Does that mean I have things figured out and finally stopped goofing things up? Absolutely not! I still mess up on a daily basis. Some days it's more like an hourly basis. :-) But the key is that I'm looking to Him! I'm getting in His word and falling more and more in love with my Savior! I'm allowing him the space and freedom to seep into every aspect of my life, and I believe that's the way He wants us to be. I wake up with Christ on my mind, a song of praise in my heart. I purposefully look for those God-Moments throughout my day. I pray for His help to see things through His eyes. My heart is heavy with prayer and worship. I long to talk about Him and what He's doing in my life.
The Holy Spirit is working in me and molding me into a more confident person. I'm getting out of my comfort zone in the name of Jesus and everyday I reach another level of peace and joy I never knew existed. You may ask what the point I'm trying to make is, and it's this: Stop just for a moment and pray. Sing a song of praise. Realize you're here for a purpose.
Do something today that takes you out of your comfort zone. Pray for God to open your eyes. Place your happiness in Him alone, because everything else is circumstantial. Be real. Be vulnerable. Be honest.
Nothing in my life is perfect. I'm doing a lot of things I never dreamed I would do. My marriage has bad days just like anyone else's does. Our kids misbehave and ignore me sometimes. My husband is having to work late a lot right now. Our dogs pee on the carpet. My rabbit kicks litter and food out of her cage over and over. I'm always running behind and usually feel ill-prepared. I mess up. I fail. But my hope and joy is in the Lord and He is NEVER CHANGING! I have never felt more at peace than I do now. There is nothing quite like knowing that you're walking in communion with your Savior and following His lead at each and every turn. This is a choice I make everyday and one I purpose to continue making. There will be days that I'll get up and forget to make that choice, I know that. There will be moments when I take my focus off of God and put it on myself, I know that too. But today, in this moment, I have decided that I will continue to follow Jesus. To rejoice in His mercy and grace. To praise Him for today, and let tomorrow bring what it may, because my Savior will be right there with me!
My prayers are that you find this same feeling!
God Bless!
