To be Full.

I believe that Satan attacks the strongest when your on a high and got your "grove" going with God. 
That is true in my life at this moment.  Things have been going smoothly and of course this weekend we were faced with a challenge.  But unlike what I would of done in the past and absolutely FREAKED OUT, I just realized there was nothing I could do about it over the weekend and to not panic about it.  Also I just knew somehow it would be okay. I still do.  Because no matter what happens with the situation that is before us, I must lift it up to God and he will take care of it.  Maybe not the way I would like, but it's okay because he will be in control of it. 

If I look back at the past couple of months and sit down and think of all the things that have gone on and how things have worked themselves out, I am truly amazed. It is beyond anything I really even comprehend. If it had been left up to me there would of been no way I could of done any of the things that were accomplished these past few months in our lives.  The only real reason is because I know I can not handle things in my life or situations that I am faced with on a daily basis, by myself.  I now realize that they are not for me to dwell on or worry about.  If I just simply lift them up to God and ask him to take care of the siutation as he sees fit it all works out.  For the times I may not of actually stopped and prayed about it I still approached it with faith knowing it would be okay and all work out.

Why does it take me so long to finally see this?  To realize that it is not for me to fix, understand or even comprehend situations is life.  Why could the light bulb not gone off sooner? 


Tonight I attended a fellowship for the ladies at our church.  The main agenda tonight was to get us to realize that our first priority is to God.  To just sit at his feet.  To be abundant in him, and full. For those times where we may not seek him daily, pray to him daily or feel a bit lost, for us to approach the situation with faith. Faith in God and that he will see it thru.

I just opened one of my devotional books and got a good chuckle out of today's' versus.

November 12:

THIS IS A TIME OF ABUNDANCE in your life. Your cup runneth over with blessings. After plodding uphill for many weeks, you are now traipsing through lush meadows drenched in warm sunshine.  I want you to enjoy the full this time of ease and refreshment. I delight in providing it for you.

Sometimes My children hesitate to receive My good gifts with open hands.  Feeling of false guilt creep in, telling them they don't deserve to be so richly blessed. This is nonsense thinking, because no one deserves anything from Me. My kingdom is not about earning and deserving; it's about believing and receiving.

When a child of Mine balks at accepting My gifts, I am deeply grieved.  When you receive My abudnant blessings with a greatful heart, I rejoice.  My pleasure is giving and your pleasure in receiving flow together in joyus harmony.

PSALM 23:5; JOHN 3:16; LUKE 11:9-10 and ROMANS 8:32

How fitting is that. To come home and read the scripture about abundance and being full. Then remembering what the ladies said about the times we just need faith and looking back at my life and seeing those times where nothing else was there but just faith. 

That is just an awesome realization to me. 

There maybe those of you out there that think I'm just nuts and lost my marbles, but that is alright. The fact I can sit here and look at where I started a few months ago, where I am today, and the doors that are opening right now for the future how could I not sit back and go "I am truly blessed right now, what blessings God has given me!"
