Amazing

Amazing how when you write something on your blog you know it has to be the Lord. Something had been stirring in my spirit a few days after I wrote a blog. I started praying and I said Lord whatever it is prepare my heart, my mind and my emotions to be able to handle what is to come. My heart was tested in a very real way for me this week. Ya know life isn't always going to be pleasant to you and you can't rest on your laurels and think that because I follow Jesus that things won't happen to me. That's a lie! I am glad that the Lord sees enough in me to not want me to stay in the same place. Although in the moment of walking through something new is always hard its good to come on the other side of things better than when you started. I must say though that I love getting older (to some degree) because I see the value in the wisdom I have gained by getting older. If this would have happened to me a few years ago I probably would have made it drag out a lot longer than necessary. Now I can look at things, pray, hear the Lord, make the necessary changes and move on. Bless the Lord for that!! I love the revelation that happens when you free your mind to receive from the Lord. Change isn't easy for me, it never is, but the Lord knows me so well that He handles himself in a way that I won't crumble and fall apart. I am reminded of a song this morning that I have been singing over the past couple of days. It says: I want to yearn for You, I want to burn with passion over You, my God...I can only yearn for the Lord when all of the "junk" gets removed. I love hearing from the Lord!!! Don't you?
