Life moves forward...

Wow...trip was great, friends were great, family I got to spend time with in the process was great!  Now that I am back, it is time to face the reality of life...Summer is here again and it is a quiet little town that I live...thoughts start to creep!  Recently started a really good read, "Mastering the Silence"...discussing what it takes to be confident in your own silence and in your alone time.  It is becoming a new process to ward off any lonely thoughts or any feelings of doubt in my future relationships by reminding myself that I am NOT alone...God is with me always...it is when I feel alone that I am letting the Devil take control of my life...AHHH Shame on me...

Consider the scripture...2 Timothy 4:17 draws an image of God being in our presence always...whether we look to find Him or not!!  Further reading will direct you towards Psalm 37:7...allow me to quote it for you...

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. 
Magical indeed to consider where my weaknesses are find comfort in such simple words...I long so bad to make a difference for Him...to tell everyone I know of Him...to feel a part of something and what really holds me back is my inability to let Him lead me.  I turn into this girl at the start of a relationship who wants so badly to take the first step, rather than be patient and just allow time to come around and to be pursued!  Christ wants me to wait patiently for Him to moves things in my life...SLOW DOWN...be confident...Have faith...
Song of the trip...thought I would share!

Moving...

So today I am motivated...feel as if I can touch the sky and then some...but I am humbled by the reality that just a couple days ago I had no idea where I was headed in life.  But this is how God works right...He gives me days like today and tomorrow for the gentle reminder that my toiling is working but gives me the Monday and Tuesdays to remind me to remain dependent on Him!
