Well it has been 1 week since our retreat last weekend. As I expected I had my good and bad days this week with struggles that I have always let get to me. Trying to not dwell on them and move on I found that sometimes I was able to walk away from the situation at the moment and spend just a few seconds of quite time and "realign" myself I guess you could say and have a sense of calm about the situation that had gotten me all wound up. Then there were some that just sent me back into my pattern of frustration.. So i'd say it was a small but good step into the direction i need to be going.
I have my little comfort zone that I LOVE to stay in and very rarely go outside of for anything if I don't have to…Well last weekend I got kicked out of my comfort zone but it was okay, I survived and had a great sense of peace after I did… Today at church I found myself doing my usual routine I guess you could say, but GUESS what…. Kicked out again… I got to see almost all of the awesome ladies that I met at the retreat today, minus one… I missed my Vicki…. I am still so much in awe at how amazing this group of women are and I've only really met a few of them twice… But I am grateful for the fact that I have them in my life now, even if it just by correspondence or occasional church gatherings… I know that with them in my corner as well as my improving relationship with God I can get thru things…
Found out that the speaker from our retreat and the very talented family that ran the praise part of the retreat will be at church… So I am excited for that and can't wait to be there that day… That will truly be an awesome worship… EXCITED….
And If you are wondering for some reason some of my post have a common theme, well they do… I am a human being trying to do the best I can in life and make my family and my kids the best that they can be but realized I can't do it alone… That without a strong relationship with God I'm lost now matter how much I think I have things handled, I don't…So I'm EXCITED for my new found love for God, where our relationship will be going… Do I understand all of it, absolutely not, I'm still learning and have a long ways to go…
Today's Verse form Jesus is Calling:
I AM THE POTTER; you are My clay. I designed you before the foundation of the world. I arrange the evens of each day to form you into this preconceived pattern. My everlasting Love is at work in every event of your life. On some days your will and Mine flow smoothly together. You tend to feel in control of your life when our wills are in harmony. On other days you feel as if you are swimming upstream, against the current of My purposes. When that happens, stop and seek My Face. The opposition you feel may be from Me, or it may be from the evil one.
Talk with Me about what you are experiencing. Let me My Spirit guide you through treacherous waters. As you move through the turbulent stream with Me, let circumstances mold you into the one I desire you to be. Say yes to your Potter as you go through this day.
ISAIAH 64:8 and PSALM 27:8
HUM… Fitting for today and this past week…
