I'm Here!
HeeHeeHee...okay I don't know what happened since my last entry, but boy have I been busy! I am supposed to tell everything that has happened since November, but not only am I not going back that far, but I can't even remember that far! ...But no, God has been good and I am thankful for His mercy and grace.
This Sunday is Easter and I have a few things planned, but nothing too major. I'm just trying to get through this semester at school, which has been a drag. With working full time and going to school full time and with my church duties, I am pooped! =) I need prayer! Anyway, regardless of all that, I have been focusing on a scripture that has been helping me through. You know it's amazing how God will direct you to a scripture to study and the next thing you know a pastor will preach on it or mention it in one way or another. To me, that is confirmation that I am on the right track and that God is leading and guiding me. The scripture I have been studying is Galatians 6:9 which says, "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not" (kjv). The amplified version states, "And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint"(amp). I love it! Living for Christ has been the best thing that has happened for me. It's not always easy, but I know there is a book that I can go to that will guide me and edify my spirit. And I know there is a God who can and will supply all of my needs. I also undertstand that I serve a God who desires to hear from me in my times of distress. What I'm noticing is that when I decided to make plans for my life, things never turn out right and there are a lot of frustrations, but when I give my plans over to God, my life flows so much smoother and I have less stress. It's important to ask God for His will to be done in our life and not our will. We see that in Matthew 26:36-39, when Jesus went to pray in a place called Gethsemane. He knew His crucifixtion was near, but he asked if it was possible that he would not have to go through with it, BUT he said nevertheless not what I will (or desire), but as You will desire (paraphrase amp). We have to give our wants, needs, and desires to Jesus. He knows what we are going through because He's been there! He's been tempted before (Luke 4:2)! He understands us so deeply and wishes we would seek His face. I know that even in the midst of my trials, I want God's will to be done in my life. =)
