Well.....

I wish you all knew how many times I've gone to type in something on facebook lately and thought for a minute and said, nope that's a feeling. (BTW Joyce Meyer's new book came out today and I am soo excited: Living Beyond your Feelings, it's already downloaded on my Ipad).  Like today I almost posted something about walking in the rain to and fro all day, but then remembered that my friends in Texas would love some of this rain. Just to clarify from my previous post(Status-less), I am completely where God wants me for this journey in my life. Does my flesh want to fight it? Each and every step of the way, but God has a plan for this year. If  nothing more than to change me, to stretch me, to grow me. Change is not my friend, but honestly who enjoys it? I can say this though, that last summer prepared for me this. I'm  not the same and God's taken that and ran with it! So on to a new blog...

God and I have an unique relationship and I wouldn't trade it for a thing! I told Him a long time ago I wanted that friendship that I saw in others, I wanted that closeness, and He hasn't failed me yet ;-). Last night He started talking about discipline. That is a blog to come in the next month or so, after I walk a few things out. However, in that conversation, I was asking Him for something and I said, but God you promised, and He said what about your promises? How many times do we ask God for something without doing what He's asked us to do first? We keep expecting Him to move with nothing in return(He's not a fan of one sided relationships). How do I know this whole discipline thought/plan was God's and not mine? Because it was nothing the flesh was going to enjoy ;-) and nothing I knowingly would have felt like doing. As I said though, that's a blog for another month.

Sometimes I think God wishes we would catch up with Him. We are stuck sitting down(probably where we are comfortable) waiting on Him to come back to where we are, but He's waiting on us to catch up with Him. Let that sink in for a bit.............

You may read my blogs sometimes and go I wish I could get to that point where she is writing from. Trust me precious reader, it took 20 years and two life changing days to get me to where I am today. One day that knocks you for a loop will throw you into His arms for awhile, two days and well you get closer than you realized. You learn through those whirlwind times His voice. You learn that you can listen with just a whisper instead of looking for the earthquake. You learn that just because a day doesn't go your way, His promises are always true(and one day He'll show you how they are for your good).

Am I where I want to be? Why no, but I'm not the same I was two years ago that I can assure you. He promised He would finish what He started, and He's only just begun! I apologize now for the stress days( I don't want to say bad), that I am sure are to come. I'll try to hide them as much as possible, but my face sometimes gives it away. It's life and usually there is a blog to come after some of those. Those days happen, don't let them define who you are! Regardless of how the day goes YOU are still a daughter(or son) of the Most High! He knew how the day was going to go before it was even on the calendar, and He knew how you would act/react(and I am sure some days I make Him laugh!!).
Until next time............
