Stepping off a cliff into the unknown.....sharing GOD's story
Wow, it has been a while since I have done a blog. So many things have happened. There is time to get to that, but I am writing with purpose today. Here we are, the Friday before Christmas, and usually, all I would be thinking about is Christ, his birth, why he came and what he did for us. All of us. No exceptions! He died on the cross so the each of us could have life. Joy here on earth in troubled times and eternal life in heaven with him. All you need to do is believe in him - know that he is your Savior!
But tonight, I am writing with a troubled heart, an excited heart, a trepidatious heart...do you see any confusion there?! You see, God, convicted me several years ago to do several tasks, and I dug my heals in and have yet to follow through. I can give you a million reasons, but the end result is, I have sinned against my LORD. He has asked me to do something and I have yet to obey....until now. Luke 11:28 tells us, "Blessed ...are those who head the word of God and obey it." I am off into uncharted territory.
But God's got me right?! :D
You see I love to listen to your stories or troubles and pray for you. I will be your prayer warrior any day of the week! But, ask my close friends, I do not like to share about myself. But I have come to realize not just in my head, but in my heart (and honey, that is the only way action is going to take place), that my struggles and my wins are not mine to share. They belong to Jesus Christ. Anything that I go through and any overcome that I have, God allowed it to glorify him! Me not sharing it, does not glorify him.
My thinking has been that if people see me struggling and see me remain joyful then they will see God. And that is so true - not all are excepted to go and tell everything about everything that is going on with them to everybody. You should follow God's prompting for the right person at the right place at the right time.
But I have been dragging my feet on a request that I feel has been clear to me for some time now. So make no bones, girls, I am asking for prayer! I am a "keep it behind my curtain" kinda gal. I will pray for God's leading each time I write and I pray that you, will benefit from my struggles (maybe not feel alone), learn from my mistakes and be in awe of the true miracles of Jesus Christ! May Jesus Christ be glorified! Don't know what I am talking about? Don't know what has happened to me? Tune in to my next blog to find out!! Praying our LORD will give me the guts to touch the surface! May God bless each of you!
