My God is enough!

I am so glad to actually have the chance to blog tonight! When I started I thought this is great I will write a blog every couple of days or at least once a week. WOW... being a wife, mother of two and working is a little time consuming :) but I would not trade it for anything. So in the past two weeks my mind has gone in every direction and at different times I will think of things and go oh I need to blog about that but one thing in particular has stuck in my mind and I know this is something I feel God wants me to share.

But before I start with that I would love the chance to just share my WOW God moment. In my walk I have been praying and trying to make sure that I am listening when God is talking to me and know that I can discern his voice. Amazingly enough in the discipleship class at church John has given some direction about knowing when God is speaking to you. Anyways the other day as I was driving to pick up Abbie I really felt like God told me to give a lady at church something that I had. I really really did not want to part with it and so now looking back I know that God was testing to see first if I would be obedient but second do I really mean what I say when I give it all back to God and say that nothing is mine it is all God's and He just lets me borrow it while I am here. So I kind of did the but I don't want to give that a way (I'm pretty sure I sounded like Abbie to God) but I decided that I would be obedient because when I said okay I felt so at peace. I gave it to the lady this Sunday at church. The look in her eye was priceless. She was surprised and said that she had been praying for one. I said well God told me to give it to you so He answered your prayer. This is so AWESOME to me!!!! I seriously cant get over it. I was so excited this is a new step for me in my walk and this just blew me away and it was not something that was huge or expensive I paid $3 for it. But God took that and did so much more!! To see her excitement made my day and made it completely worth it. 

Now on to what has been on my heart lately. The other day I was listening to Barlow Girls on my ipod and a song titled Psalm 73 was on. I didn't pay too much attention to it at first because I was working, until I heard the chorus: "My God is enough for me this world has nothing I need" Instantly I was glued. I just really felt like that is my heart's cry. I just want you God there is nothing in this world that I want and I know that you will take care of me for eternity. I read the Psalm and it is beautiful I encourage everyone who reads this to do the same. It really just hit home with me. There are so many things that I walked away from that in the natural my flesh would really love to go back to but I know that all I need in this life is God nothing more. I am so amazed by His amazing grace and love. I hope that if you read it you will be blessed as I was! 

Whom have in heaven but you?

I desire you more than anything on earth.

~Psalm 73:5

Patience

Hey Everyone!

So I have decided that I will start a blog :) I am not sure how this will go and I really would like to design this thing a little better but as of now I cannot find a houndstooth pattern to put on here! So never the less. I hope that if you will read this you will be blessed at least that is my prayer. I feel like I have so much to say and this is the best way that I can get it out. I will put the disclaimer out though that this blog will more than likely not be grammatically correct and I am sorry for that :)

My blog is named Moving Forward and as of right now that is the main theme of my life. After years and years and years of battling with myself I have completely given my life to God. Does that mean that I wont mess up: No. But I know that I have a close relationship with my God and Savior and because of his wonderful amazing grace I am forgiven. I can make mistakes and keep moving forward in my walk with God. I will no longer let Satan tell me that I have messed up so I might as well forget it. As it says in the song I am hear to declare that my past is over!

God is doing such a big work in my life. I have said since January that 2011 was going to be a big year for my family and I and so far in many ways it is. I have titled this blog Patience because I feel like right now that is what God is teaching me the most. I am not so sure that I am handling it so well because I am just ready to know what the next step is. Its not because I am unhappy or just that impatient but just that I am so in love with God. I am so excited to make up for what I feel like has been lost time. I wasted so many years only worrying about myself and not what I could be doing for God.

My husband always says "ask and you shall receive" so I have been praying and asking for God to use me and to give me a servants heart. We sang a song in church yesterday the chorus of the song said "I give myself away so you can use me". That is my main prayer right now. I do not want any part of me but only God. He is def. answering prayers. God is giving me a desires that I cannot wait to explore. Its almost one of those things where I feel that I cant sit still. Those of you who know me know that's really hard for me to do anyway. So in my journey of waiting and praying I will blog about how things are going and what is on my mind.

If you read this thank you for taking time out of your day to see what is important to me. God is an awesome God and I love each and everyone of you!
