So, what is God doing? This set of exercises has really made me examine my relationship with Him. It is easier for me to pray to Him, glorify Him, praise Him, and just generally converse with Him since these exercises began. It is easier when each day I am instructed to read certain scripture and then have questions or reflections to concentrate on and evaluate. I guess sometimes I work my best when I am simply just told what to do!
I definitely am feeling like I need to worship, pray, reflect, and love Him more. I find myself being pulled more and more toward His presence. I want to be with Him more, to give Him more of my time, effort and energy. I find myself dreaming of a time when I don't have to work so many hours and can devote more time doing His work. I want to be a better disciple, to help others more, to give more and to live more simply. God is definitely trying to tell me something.......hopefully I will be able to figure out just what sometime soon.
God Bless.....until tomorrow!

Again, I take the challenge. What is God doing in my life. I continue to struggle to see what exactly His plan is. Not because I don't believe. Not because I feel like I'm alone without Him. But because I'm on a journey that has gone on and on and on...I'm trying to grow. I'm trying to have faith. I'm trying to witness...but right now I feel like the blind man...praying to have my eyes opened so that I can participate fully in His plan and help the other blind ones nearest to me.
ReplyDeleteTricia,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comments and I totally understand when you feel like your journey goes on and on. Just hang on to your faith as you stated in your comment and He will open your blind eyes and your message will be crystal clear and helping others will become so easy that it also will just become 2nd nature. Hang in there and keep praying. He is good!
We had either the most bizarre or missed opportunity today.We stopped to pick up a tank that my son in law bought on craigs list. He told me the guy was a real talked so we got the tank and were making a quick gettaway when he said you couldn't have had the day I had: My ex mother in law was at my door early to tell me my daughter committed suicide. L and I sucked air and said we are so sorry. Yeah what made her pull a stunt like that. We were so taken back that I don't think we answered well. So later that eve. Mark wrote him a note of condolence on email. (It has bugged me now for 2 days. I started a letter to him tonight (Friday.) Usually, I am able to tell my story or offer a listening ear.Mary
