Today was one of those days that I simply drank in of all the blessings that God has bestowed on me. The last four months I have really struggled as I faced physical difficulties with my eyes, I struggled with some professional opportunities that were put before me, we have had additional medical bills and financial hardships due to my eye situation with less ability to make income while I healed….
But this day….I woke up to being thankful for being in a warm home. Thankful for a husband who loves me, children who are healthy and food in the pantry! The truth is that my struggles this Fall have been more about spiritual warfare than anything else….you see, I am in the middle of a God project, and if I can be beaten down and made to believe life is sad, bad, or difficult…well, that just slows every process that God has me doing in my disobedience to believe the lies….
The Truth of God’s love for us, His provision, His forgiveness, His grace, is more than enough to cover any struggle I face….and any sin I commit…and God not only promises me to love me despite me….He is more than able to handle my depression, disappointment, or damage to my eyes….and He has!!!
Tonight I finished the day knowing that God had his arms around me reminding me that He.is.God! And at the very moment I needed it, once again God spoke to me through my friend Thelma Wells book “God is not through with me YET” Thelma and I met last spring and became fast friends in Dallas and I simply love her in person, but today I love her in writing as God used her book to affirm a new message in my heart…..and I can’t wait to see it unfold! You see, God gave us a dream over a decade ago, and this year its been on a fast track until my eye injury…but God made it clear today, that He isn’t finished yet….and He isn’t finished with me or His plans either!
God help me to be obedient to your whisperings …and thank you for this amazing gift of today!
