The enemy loves nothing more than to find you at times when you at your weakest. Those times when you are worn to the bone, stressed to the max, and mentally exhausted. Those times when you know in your heart you are doing the best you can at the massive to-do list but the list just keeps growing. Those times when the world wants to see how much they can throw at you before you break. Those are the times when we absolutely, positively have to crawl in order to keep walking forward. The enemy knows when you "feel" weak. Note I said, I feel weak. I have learned this week, I can be drained, mentally exhausted, stressed to the max, and still find a place of peace. Please hear me now...it is not easy. The hardest part is recognizing when you get to that point and taking some time(regardless of your schedule) to let Him calm you down. When you know you are at that point, stop and take that time. Physically your body may be tensed up(just ask my massage therapist...I'm so knotted up and tensed up it isn't funny), but if you can spiritually stay unwound you can keep pressing on to the other side of this journey.
Obedience regardless of how small it may seem is important. If you start to feel the boat rocking, see if you may have missed something. Trust me.....you got to get quiet first though and He'll tell you. Just remember His mercies are new every morning, just get back up, dust yourself off, and keep walking forward.
The blogs that will come when this boat gets to the other side are going to be amazing. I don't want to start on any yet, because He is so not finished. Thankfully I will have this summer to type them out. God has in mind what I'm supposed to learn/develop over this journey and apparently I'm on the fast track.. Discipline is the key of that I'm sure.
Stay tuned
