Guidance

-
I have been praying a lot about direction and guidance lately. This next 12 months of my life will finish my program here at CIU and I have no clue what my life will look like when I am finished. Anxiety shakes my soul like trimmers of a far away earthquake; yet I know He is faithful and will show me one step at a time.

I came to Him this morning with the concern a bit more festered up than yesterday - not sure why some moments are worse than others, but I lifted it up to Him - I prayed, "Use this to show me what YOU want me to see Lord." He reminded me....

“The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.”- Psalm 138:8



God has been blessing me so much in the last few weeks with new insight, I know He is using this quiet summer to help me see Him differently, address some old fears that hide in the corners of my heart and heal wounds that fester up with loneliness. I rejoice over the way He has been opening my eyes to His Presence, Love and Purpose for my life! I have been deeply touched to realize He is IN the ache, the hurt, the hard moments, the loneliness of my humanness... I am not abandoned, forgotten or unloved. He has a purpose for me - a significant, eternal purpose for ME just as He has for YOU! What a wonderful Hope that brings to my heart and mind! He is so faithful. For that I all the more love Him....

What are you reading? Melanie at monday through sunday tagged me for this meme. The Rules: 1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages). 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the next three sentences. 5. Tag five people. The book I am reading right now is:.....Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis. A wonderful classic! "That is not the point in which faith comes in. But supposing a man's reason once decides that the weight of the evidence is for it. I can tell that man what is going to happen to him in the next few weeks. There will come a moment when there is bad news, or he is in trouble, or is living among a lot of other people who do not believe it, and all at once his emotions will rise up and carry out a sort of blitz on his belief." I don't know that many to tag!!

Psalm 62 - Find Rest, My Soul, in God Alone

My soul finds rest in God alone, My Rock and my salvation, A fortress strong against my foes, And I will not be shaken. Though lips may bless and hearts may curse, And lies like arrows pierce me, I’ll fix my heart on righteousness, I’ll look to Him who hears me. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. Find rest, my soul, in God alone Amid the world’s temptations; When evil seeks to take a hold I’ll cling to my salvation. Though riches come and riches go, Don’t set your heart upon them; The fields of hope in which I sow Are harvested in heaven. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. I’ll set my gaze on God alone, And trust in Him completely; With every day pour out my soul, And He will prove His mercy. Though life is but a fleeting breath, A sigh too brief to measure, My King has crushed the curse of death And I am His forever. O praise Him, hallelujah, M...

Whole30 ~ I did it!!

-

So this past month I embarked upon an adventure: I have been been doing a body-reset program called " Whole30 ".  The program is very intense, with straight-forward guidelines: basically you have NO sugar, No grains, and No dairy, for 30 days. When I first realized what it was about and what you were suppose to do, I was like " NO WAY! I could not do that! "  Yet, always the cheerleader for health and holistic living, I proclaimed to my friend who was saying she was going to do it, " I will do it with you to support you! " September 30, after 10PM I ate my last 3 Tim-Tam cookies, fully dunked in a creamy cup of tea, saying a sweet farewell to sugar, grains and dairy-laden drinks for my next 30 days!! And what an adventure it has been.... Typical Whole30 breakfast: I have always eaten eggs and coffee,  but now I was omitting cheese, toast, and cream!! ...The first 48 hours I experienced flu-like aches, crankiness, headaches, as my body screamed...
