I wake up today with a new excitement for life, for my life. I am so grateful that I serve a God who loves me, forgives me and gives me an abundance of second chances. Today my husband goes before a panel of executives for his final interview to get approved to be a Statefarm Agent. This could be and I believe is the beginning of the rest of our lives. It's God's promise he made to us in the beginning of the year unfolding. If for some reason he does not get approved, then we must have faith and believe and trust God that this wasn't the right time. But we stepped out in faith and made the decision to take action. In that alone God will honor it. It's the act of obedience even when you scared and don't know the future.
The goodness of the Lord surpasses all understanding. I cannot even fathom how he still loves me. But I don't want to give glory to those things that are behind me now, I press on towards the goal, the prize. I am gonna finish this race sprinting to the finish line, not barely making it. Gone are the days of lingering in my flesh. Today I profess that I am made new in him. Great is his faithfulness and his loving kindnesses. This morning I read Colossians 3. The beginning tells us to set our hearts on the things above. To set our minds on the things above and not on earthly things. I find that when I set my mind on him and he becomes my one and only focus everything else after that just seems to be right. Not perfect, but I have peace and the knowledge that through him all things are possible and I don't have to do it alone. It also says "put to death whatever belongs to our earthly nature." Put to death, to me this means so much. For me to die to my flesh and put to death, all things that are of my earthly nature. Lord that is my desire, that I may be more like you. I am ever so grateful for the love and peace of Christ in my life!
