I hope everyone's new year is unraveling well. Mine is alright so far. I was just thinking about how I let too much time pass in between my posts and thought I should do some catching up more often. Christmas was nice but now that we are past the rushing of the season, it is good to just settle into the new year. God has done so much since my last post. I have a new car for one! :) It is actually my second vehicle from the Lord. I have also seen him provide in such amazing ways. Ways I'd never think of. His Word proves true - as always! I think of Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,”declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Everything He does is beyond anything we could ever do or think of. I have learned to just wait and trust in Him. He knows my needs and He is not going to just let them go. His love is so great and He desires to work on the behalf of His children!
Things have been going up and down in my life for months now. Someone had posted a stat on fb that really spoke to me. It said "As long as God's will is more important than our ideas or desires, and it shows in our life, things usually play out well. Might not be what we want, but the understanding makes it worth it." That is so true. I always insist on having my own way with things but later I realize that it just doesn't matter. I have been hurt by people, even by professed believers. I have realized that I may not be able to control what they do in a situation but I can entrust it to God. Why I struggle to trust Him is beyond me but I want to. He is so trustworthy and I pray that He helps me to let go of my ways and let Him work things out. God will deal with each of us in ways He sees fit. We can't control it. So that is a lesson I am learning now. I am just so thankful that God is patient towards me because I know I am no better than anyone else. I'm a fallen being also and God knows that, which is why I need Him so. And you do too!
It is a new year. Time to have some new perspectives. God is showing me so much. I just want to be obedient to His Spirit and prove that I can trust Him and not myself. What a mess we make of ourselves. How can we deny God's perfection? If this is how much of a mess we make of our own selves, how can there be such order in the world otherwise? We certainly can't make things as good as they are if we can't do it for ourselves. It is not us who does it, surely it is God!
So, those are my thoughts for the time being. Work is going alright. Just very few hours at both of them. If you'd like to pray for me, please pray that God would show me what to do so that I could be more financially set. I have no choice but to work with my own two hands but it would be easier if I had a job that provided more hours. I love being back on the work field. The people I am around are all really nice and God has filled my heart with much joy. All praise goes to Him!
More soon...I hope! :)
