It's been a while since I've been able to post. I've been busy with family visiting from Illinois which has been an amazing blessing to me!! God really teaches you to cherish the blessings in your life when you go through trials.
James 1:2-3 says, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance."
I was talking to a friend on the phone today and we talked about God's refining fire and the miracles that God can work on people's hearts. God has truly refined me and is reshaping me everyday. My heart is strengthened and encouraged because of the trials I am enduring.
One of the ways He is teaching me and reshaping my character to reflect His; is by praying His word over my life. I have created a Prayer Journal (yes I just finished it after starting it at 9pm!! I know I'm obsessed but I can't stop once I get going!!) In my prayer journal I am going to be able to capture a clear view of God's loving kindness. I will be able to see His work in action and will have a legacy of His faithfulness to me to show our children - however they come to us.
I would like to challenge any of you reading to pray scripture over your life. Pray God's word for any situation you may be facing and watch God work for you. Pray His Word and expect Him to move on your behalf. Pray His Word and be joyful in hope and patient in affliction!!
I know my God is bigger and He is faithful to His promises to me. I am confident in His total provision for our lives. I trust Him to provide children for my empty arms. I trust Him to love me through whatever trials and troubles I may go through. I have faith that my God is good.
He loves me like no other. He knows me like no other. He is providing for me like no other. <3
