Trusting

I thought i had better post something before my blogger friends think that I had fallen off the face of the earth. The truth is, I really have had no motivation to blog anything. There's not much to update on the house, I'm waiting for Pat to finish installing the cabinets before I post anymore pics. We are still probably 3-4 weeks away from completion. Of course, we still have the issue of selling our old house. We do believe that we were directed of God to build the new one, so we're just trusting that He has a plan for us to sell the other one in His timing. It's getting down to the wire, which makes me start to worry. I hate to worry, it's just another word for "I've got to have control of this situaion, not God." I have had victory over it in the past, and I'm gonna claim victory now too!

This weekend at church, Darryl preached a very convicting message on taking responsibility for your own spiritual growth. We should never be satisfied with where we are, and I certainly am not. It seems like I overcome one battle, just to struggle with another. All I know is that I want to grow closer to God than I've ever been before, and I need to start getting rid of all my excuses. Speaking of church, I am so thankful for the Journey Church and to God for leading us there. We always hear an awesome message from God, see people's lives changed, experience awesome worship music, and are constantly challenged to be the hands & feet of Jesus. Thank you Lord for allowing us to be a part of such a move of God in our community.

As I start my week, my prayer is that God would use me to make a difference in someone's life, that He would challenge me to grow in my walk, and that I would trust Him COMPLETELY with what are probably really small issues in the grand scheme of my life.

The spiritual discontentment, that desire and yearning to be closer to God and unsettled with where we are all the while being content in where God has us presently; that's a mouthful. But it's so true right?
I'm right there with you, but it's encouraging to see other christians stepping up and really seeking to go deep, to get off the surface and delve into his word; it really helps me as well.
