A 2fer day!!

Ok....so I havent blogged in like a month, and I have 2 things on my heart today!

While I was in the shower this morning, God reminded me of a song that we used to sing at our church in SC. It was written by someone in a family very close to my heart, and I love it!!
So I thought I would share the words this morning....

"You knew me when living was easy
not much was required for me to be satisfied.
You knew me when I started to hunger
I started to thrist like never before.
In my dark days You were a light to me.
In my blindness I began to see
that You have always known me
and more and more You've shown me.

Like a stream in the desert
You're restoring my soul.
Like a cool, clean, living water
running over, and over, and over."

That's one of the many things God has for us...He is a restorer of our soul!!
Take it in...accept it....be refreshed....walk in that refreshing today!!

A new experience

At the beginning of my fast...I was thinking wow! this is going to be easy, and I am going to get what I want no problem. Well I had a rude awakening last night....but it the end it was good for me.

I just assumed if I was fasting for something in particular, that if I was doing what I promised God I would do...then it would just be handed to me, no questions asked.

WRONG!!!!

First of all, my way of it happening and HIS way of it happening may be 2 completely different things. I have to bow to His ways, and wait patiently. (Man! That word keeps coming up alot in my studies lately. Why is it so hard to be patient??)

The second thing is the devil is not just going to sit back and let me have it without a fight. He knows if this works out, then this house will be a powerful force for the kingdom. When I think of all the things God has already done through just me and the girls....the miracles, the healings, the blessings...I can only imagine how amazing it will be when we are ALL in agreement. And the devil knows that...he not going to give up that easily. It is still a daily battle...even though we sometimes we forget he is doing everything he can to stop us.

Last night as I lay in my bed crying and reading in my bible, and I felt God direct me to Proverbs 4. Here is a wonderful verse that spoke to me....

"When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble."
Proverbs 4:12
