Life Is Good!!
Saturday, April 26, 2008
God has been so good to me. I have realized just how much He sustains me lately. I dedicated this year to just renewing my committment to Him, to getting out of my comfort zone, going to some retreats and just enjoying time with my Creator. I have to say I am refreshed, refueled, revived and revved up and ready to go.
I have been spending as much time as I possibly can reading the Word and chatting with Him. Much like King David, I have been having these long conversations with God, about what I understand and don't understand. What should I do about certain things, really more about...am I doing the right thing? I don't know sometimes. There are situations that come up that I am not comfortable with and if I am not sure if they are right, then I won't do it. So I have been having my little talks with Jesus, telling Him all my troubles, my concerns, and asking alot of questions, and for direction.
I have emptied my heart of everything I could think of that is in there and now I am filling it up with His word. I am letting go and letting Him take it until He tells me I should move or not move. His Word is cleansing me. I don't know if you ever have things that come up that you are not sure how you should handle them, but in this season I have some of those things, so for now I put them on His shelf in His office and until He tells me what I should do, I am not doing anything with them.
So what else is going on? I am going to a Back to the Bible Conference in May, in June I am going to an Infinite Grace Conference for Women with
Women of Faith and I am so looking forward to what God is going to reveal to me while I am there. I was thinking how the world has so much to entertain us and so much to distract us, and some of those things I enjoy, but honestly, I don't think I have enjoyed myself as much as I have this year in a long time, just giving my time to Him

Wow Mike! how and where have you been? I have missed reading your blog and hearing from you. Great to see you here again!!!
Hi Dana ,
Sounds like you have drawn you a good roadmap . I pray that you will accomplish your goals and that God will continue to bless you !

Good for you!!! I don't know if you ever read A WOMAN AFTER GOD's OWN HEART by Elizabeth George... but in it she talks about how time spent with the Lord fuels and focuses everything everything we do.
That's a hard one to get in our world because it pushes people to be busy even our churches do. But you can't go wrong focusing on the Lord and filling yourself up with all the love, wisdom, and goodness that He has for you.
How inspiring.
I love it!

Dana, I pray that you will continue to be uplifted and encouraged. God bless you.
