It has just been way too long since I blogged. I've been missing my quiet time in the word lately in the mornings. Something that had become such a part of my morning coffee for years now has started to slip. Time to get back into the rhythm. I love this about mistakes - we don't have to beat ourselves up about them, we just have to turn around and start over again.
Lately I have been feeling really discouraged. Looking at the life situation around and allowing every doubt or fear from the enemy to slip in. Sometimes we need someone from the outside looking in to speak a word that helps you put things back in to perspective. As church had ended on Sunday, the pastor shared just a few words that I so needed to hear. He had been in a similar situation as us before so he understood. He reminded me/us to just - "enjoy the ride, it may feel like you are free falling, but God knows where you will land. He is laying the foundation." Seemed to be just what I needed. When you are "inside" a challenge it makes it harder to see the whole picture.
Then tonight someone had a facebook post that read, "Never ever let the words of men, steal the promises of God." How often don't we do that? We are walking along confident that God is leading us then - bam - somebody shuts it down, throws into question the path you are on, the job you have, the move you made and you begin to doubt that God lead you in the first place. Makes me think of Adam and Eve in the garden. "Did God really say?" Satan putting the question out there. The promises of God - LET'S KEEP THEM LIVING IN OUR LIFE.
Today I was blessed to bring a lunch meal to the volunteer workers who are working on the home for The Daughter Project. An organization that I am volunteering with. They are building and operating a recovery home for adolescent girls who have been rescued from sex trafficking. I was blessed to bring them a lunch - those guys working out in this unbearable heat, giving freely of their time to build a home, a place of healing for these girls. The many volunteers who will still give of their time blows my mind. It is a rather emotional work site to be at. And those promises of God - may those girls be filled to overflowing with the promise that God loves them so much and that he does and will heal their wounds. He will heal yours too. Just ask him!
His love is marvelous. The following song (a demo) was written by my son (in law). He is working on a worship CD. Copy and paste the following link into your internet browser. Close your eyes, listen, and meditate on the one who loves you more than you can begin to imagine.
