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
