God has really tought me a lot the past couple of days.
I now understand what mercy is. He blesses us because He loves us and becuase He chooses to bless us.
We should never get to the point of expecting anything from God becuase we feel we deserve it.
Mercy is a gift! A precious gift that He chooses to give or not to give for whatever reason.
I love that God is teaching me what humility is. I love that I can recognize when He is trying to teach me something. I really am amazed at how far I've come in that area.
He truely can give or take away, and faith carries me through. Nothing in this world is certain. But we always have Christ and that is all that matters. Life would be so empty otherwise. Trials come and go, but Christ is truely eternal. I am now completely and utterly dpendant, and if that is what God wants, then he has me! I am now complete as I ever have been before.
How is it possible that in the midst of a trial you can feel so strong?

Fighting Back!
here is my delima...
Everytime I make progress in my relationship with God, the enemy has to come in and attack.
The ememy knows my weekness and uses them against me. What can I do about this? How do I gain the strength to ignore this when it happens?
He tells me things that I don't like to hear and in my weakness it is easy to believe his lies.
It really makes me angry, but I just don't know how to fight it as I am still quite young in my
walk.
Help!

Obedience
so here is the deal...I've been told by Christ what he wants me to do with my life in order to bring Him glory. That is awsome to finally have a purpose! It is something I have longed for as long as I can remember. Even before I knew Christ.
Ths issue that I am facing right now is not rushing the process. Long before I was given my vision, the Lord said to wait for a year. I have to remind myself daily to enjoy where I am at and look forward to where I am going. It is hard though becuase I am excited and anxious and want to move forward.
I believe that God is trying to test me in my obedience and also teaching me patience at the same time. Patience does not come easily to me.
In this time of waiting though, I don't know if He wants me to even start planning how I will accomplish what I need to do to get to where He wants me to be. Is that wrong? Or should I wait an entire year before I even start my planning? I need discernment on that right now.
So please pray for me to have wisdom where this is concerned. I don't want to do anything that is out of God's will for my life.

"The Lord works in mysterious ways"-He does indeed!
ok all you fellow readers...
I have researched both careers and decided on Medical Administration. I will be off to CPCC
at some point this summer to meet with a counselor to discuss my path. God really does work in mysterious ways. It was amazing how clearly He spoke this to me! I think he reaches me best when I am not even thinking about things ya know?
So wish me luck and pray that He will lead the way for me to make it happen! I'm just happy to have a goal even though I don't have a plan at this time.

Awakening!
God amazes me more and more each day in the ways that he speaks to me!
I have known for quite some time that where I am at professionally what not what He wanted
me do do forever. I have been sensing a season of change, but not quite sure where he wanted me.
Early on he told me to wait for a year as Trey has started a new job and we want to make sure it is secure before I make any changes.
But this morning as I was watching tv, he just spoke into my heart what he wanted me to do.
It was so clear that is was almost scarry. I feel that he chooses to speak to me sometimes when I am not even thinking about things at all. Becuase then he knows he will really get my attention.
Sure enough as I was watching tv did he tell me that I could do para-legal or medical administration. I have a background in administrative work and want to be able to incorportate that into a new career. He said this would allow me to do that and also help
others at the same time. I know it is a small part to play, but every little bit helps the world go round!
I am excited becuase I have direction now, but also scared at the same time since I don't know yet how I am going to accomplish what He wants me to do. But I am up for the challenge! I just want to feel good about my work and know that what I am doing is really bringing glory to Him.
Thank you God for telling me what to do. I would be lost with out you in my life!
I feel that I am now that much closer to getting out of my wilderness and into what you have planned for me!
