What I am thinking

I ususally go on vacation and come home weary and ready for another vacation, but the truth is, I have come back home ( being away for over a month) refreshed and full of God's unspeakable joy that only comes from trusting Him.

As I posted recently, we just went through the saddness of a miscarriage. It's been a heavy load to carry, but the Lord's burden is light and He has given me such rest in it all. In this process, He is changing me, stripping me of many areas in my life and replacing these areas with a real willingness to ALLOW Him to change me. I am delighted that He is showing me these things and I am seeking Him with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength. But the battle is waging. There are times that I want to give up and want to wallow in self- pity because frankly, it's easier. But I'm on board with Him and going where He is going in my life and I can't help but smile all the time and rejoice all day long because I know how much He loves me.

Pure joy. Pure delight. Fellowship with Jesus.

All out of pure sorrow. Pure pain.

My loss. His gain.

Lord, You are the Most High over all the earth ( psalm 83:18) and I thank You for taking such interest in wanting Your children to be close to Your heart.

"For the eyes of the Lord range through out the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him." 2 Chronicles 16:9

I'm fully committed.
