Had To Repost.

I promise you all it is so much easier now. amen

It is so hard to walk this walk. It is like the enemy is just sitting on my shoulder telling me what to do. He shouts Lord, but you whisper. Sometimes it is so hard to hear or feel you. I know you are there and I know what you have promised you.

Father do you know how hard it is for your children to do nothing and just wait. It is difficult father it is so hard. When I look at the gifts you have given me one is to fix problems. That is what makes me good at my job. Now I can’t fix this problem. And it confuses me and makes me doubt myself in all areas of my life. Father please shout to me please stay with me please help me. I know you are more than able to change things even fix my marriage. '
'
So I am thanking you in advanced for repairing this marriage
I am thanking you in advanced for my husband’s salvation
I am thanking you in advance for teaching me you word
I am thanking you in advanced for my walk of faith
I am thanking you in advanced for healing my broken heart
'I am thanking you in advanced for the salvation of all of our children
I am thanking you in advanced for me learning patience
I am thanking you in advanced for me learning patience

I am thanking you for being my shelter during this storm
I am thanking you for the trials that have bought me closer to you
I am thanking you for my prayer warriors
I am thanking you for this site
I am thanking you for my job (as I start a new venture in my life)
I am thanking you for my car
I am thanking you for food

I AM THANKING YOU FOR BEING YOU.

But do please shout at me from time to time when I am running in the wrong direction
in Jesus name amen.

One of the hardest things I've had to learn this year is how to wait on the Lord. I was always a control freak, and my business background is in Operations, so it went totally against my grain. I describe it to people as playing a game of chicken..lol..You want to be the one who doesn't turn off the road. Even though you see the oncoming headlights and the car is getting closer and closer and closer and you're starting to panic, you must hold on..and then instead of impact..the oncoming car disappears I believe God likes to make a grand entrance. Sure He can handle a problem simply and easily and immediately, but that doesn't seem to be His style. Think of the feel good movies we all watch. He likes to make a grand entrance when it's the bottom of the 9th inning and the bases are loaded, and the batter already has 2 strikes. I believe it is because then He has everyone's FULL attention. . Then WE ALL KNOW that it was indeed a miracle and that it wasn't us. Unfortunately, waiting in faith is the direct opposite of the way we are taught to live, and it feels unfamiliar, slothful and wrong to us. We are raised that we should work the problem, and do everything we can, and then say a quick prayer so we are covered just in case we can't pull it off. I think God makes us wait because He doesn't want to be our fallback position. He needs to be the whole plan. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God. I am still working on it, and I still get tense, but this past year I have learned that if I can do the ridiculous (wait in faith) God will do the miraculous. and I am much calmer now too. I am blessed that God has done some noticeable miracles for me this year, and so it's easier for me to wait patiently in faith. For me it's like strengthening a muscle. I still find myself getting really tense sometimes, and then after God works it out I feel guilty for not trusting Him more. Oh well. We're all works in progress right??
