So, this is life. My postings are probably going to be quirky, and lots of times won't make any sense to you (if anyone is there) who is reading...because I'm just posting my thoughts which tend to be all over the place!! Maybe you'll get some laughs :-P I don't claim to know much at all...I'll just write what's on my mind.
What God's been teaching me recently:
Life has seasons. Some are longer than others, some are painful and some aren't. Some seasons are full of storms. Some are just resting periods. BUT...every season is a gift. The resting periods are so nice! A time to stop and catch our breath, and see everything clearly that is surrounding us. A chance to take it all in and reflect. Some seasons are about getting through. We are brought through storms because God wants to refine and perfect us. It's not to torture us, but to make us better. For His glory, and for our benefit. Because He loves us!
The enemy wants to defeat us. He will do anything to stomp the light out that is living in our hearts. Our job, as Christians and children of the King, is to tell the enemy that he is not allowed to rob us of our joy, and to cling to the Father. Lately, I've been noticing all of the times that I've allowed the enemy into my heart, and have come to grips with the lies that he has planted there. The gifts that God's given me that he tries to turn upside down and use in negative ways. The way he has tried to tell me that if I don't "feel" God, i'm not saved. The way he tells me that my bed is a better hiding place than my Lord. LIES! I'm so sick of him, and sick of letting him steal my joy. I'm so thankful that God's brought this to my attention! I'm ready to fight the lies, and to hide in Jesus rather than anywhere else.
I am here for a purpose. And my only job is to follow Christ. To chase after Him with every fiber of my being. To love Him deeply and to listen to Him intently. Woo! It's so exciting!
That's all for now.
Loving you!
