A Closer Walk with Thee

I said I would continue where I left off in regards to my weight struggles and I will get to that, but first I want to tell you just what a wonderful week this has been. This would be in terms of my spiritual fitness being increased.

You see we had a conference at our church this last weekend. It was from Friday eve to Sunday eve. Each day was filled with something new. We had lovely spirit-filled; anointed; passionate speakers like Wes and Stacy Campbell and Heidi Baker, as well as, magnificent worship from Sean Feucht and Kristene Mueller - DiMarco.

The worship brought me closer to God then I had ever experienced before. I felt God's touch several times. I was glued to my seat listening to the speakers. I mean God really had my full attention. To tell you the truth I didn't want the weekend to end. I fell deeper in love with God and He brought me peace and joy throughout the weekend.

To get back to this week though. I wanted to be in God's presence more and more. He was drawing me closer to Him. It was magnetic. I have really grown so much in this past week by communing with Him, spending time in constant prayer, talking to Him, allowing Him to have more access to my heart, spending time in worship and reading His word. This has really shed a lot of light on things I need to work on in my life. Starting with the junk I carry around inside.

He has brought to my attention things that I should be aware of in regards to my lifestyle, how to pray for forgiveness and not pull away from Him when I do something wrong, how to not speak out of anger, but to turn the other cheek or walk away and cool off...the list could go on and on.

I am thankful to my God. He is a loving and Gracious God.

Deuteronomy 4:29-30

29But if from there you will seek (inquire for and require as necessity) the Lord your God, you will find Him if you [truly] seek Him with all your heart [and mind] and soul and life.

30
When you are in tribulation and all these things come upon you, in the latter days you will turn to the Lord your God and be obedient to His voice.

There's a Lesson In It

As most of you already know things have severely been hard for me financially. I have struggled most of my adult life to try to make ends meet. Being a parent, let alone a single parent, is definitely a hard job. Though most of the time I have relied on myself to figure out a way through my messes, when I could have easily leaned on someone much greater then myself. That someone being God.


I am so thankful to have such a merciful God that he would see my plight on a daily basis and make it His mission to help me through each and every month. Of course it takes my trust and faith in Him to make it all work, but I tell you the biggest roadblock I have in my life is ME. Always getting in the way. Trying to take back my will and do everything in my own strength only to fall on my face every single time. You would think I would know by now that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result never worked for anyone. Hello, McFly?!?!

My Lord is gracious though and He has fresh mercy every day for little old me. I am thankful that He cares that deeply for me. So deeply in fact that He scoops me up, dusts me off and lets me start over again, time after time.

I tell you all of this with a point in mind. I have been a worry-wort about my finances as of late. I have been stressed to the max. Crying out to the Lord for help. I have been a mess. I turned to my Pastor and he prayed with me. When he prayed that we need to claim the promise that God would never leave us or forsake us then my burden began to lighten a bit.

This same day I was given an opportunity to receive the money I sorely needed from some loving people in my life. I believe God put it on their heart to give. I am thankful to God for these people He has put in my life and I pray for an over-abundance of blessings to those people for their love and kindness.

Here is a verse to reflect on:

Psalm 55:22 (Amplified Bible)

22Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail).
