Reflections

I know some of you have been wondering about a new blog, but to be honest He's not done writing the ones He's started. This may take a little longer, not because He's not a patient and incredible God, but because sometimes you can only apply discipline to one thing at a time. Think about that for a second, if you have had a day where its just been one thing after another, how hard is it to eat healthy and make time for exercise? Usually the stress we feel in our lives hurts one person, us. Sometimes your day keeps you so busy, that it is HARD not to get discouraged, down, and turn into that negative one. My hope is that after I'm on the other side of this mountain, I'll have more to share with you about how to keep praising regardless of what the day throws your way. Right now I'm still in the middle of it. I would be amiss to try and tell you now how to overcome your feelings when I'm still working my way through it. Be encouraged though, everyone has those days. I think God knew that from the beginning. I am amazed and humbled by how much He trusts me. This journey He and I have been on 15 months has not been wasted. After you have been through one of those "Me and God" journeys, you are more prepared to climb a mountain that's just you and Him. Feelings will keep you looking for someone to have a pity party with, but sometimes its just another part of the journey.  It's not about me, it's about me and Him. He'll pour into you when He knows you are ready. If you pour into yourself before it's time, you'll still find that the pitcher may have holes. This song below has been an encouragement to me this week. We are all climbing some mountain, some of those mountains are truly mountains inside and out, some are mountains we have placed in our own paths all because we didn't read the map correctly, and some are mountains to test our endurance and develop our strength. God's started a lot of stuff, and I can't way to see how He finishes it! The best is still to come. Before I insert the video...Here is a quote from Joyce Meyer's magazine this week: "Emotions RISE UP and then move out, wanting us to follow them. When I feel that, I know I need to take action. " Lord help me to stay put unless its YOU moving out.

Until next time sweet readers!! Enjoy the week and know you were BORN to climb! What He starts, He always finishes and as long as you are still here, you are NOT done! Forgive yourself if you make a mess out of the day, know in your heart what He's called you to do and do it regardless of what anyone else says! Be the YOU He made you to be and not the YOU others may want you to be. You and You alone know what He's put in your heart to do, and He didn't put it there to just sit.
