Listening to the Lord

I can't believe how long it has been since I have blogged. Almost three years! I have gone through many seasons and many heartaches, but the Lord has been in the mist of it all growing and stretching me along with friends, family, and co-workers. As I follow God and grow closer to Him, my journey becomes many ups and downs. As a women, I try to be a fixer of things, as many of us do. The one thing that the Lord has really been showing me is we each need to pick up our own cross and carry it! No one can do it for us and it is crazy for us as friends, mentors, co-workers, or family to think any different. I know I have tried to be that all or some of my friends and they have done that for me.  In reality, It doesn't work. A Prophetic Word was spoke at church a few weeks back by my dear friend and pastor. I knew the Word was for me as I was convicted in my Spirit. In the following weeks , I tried everything to side step the Word and as we all know, if we are walking with the Lord side stepping Him is not an option. All this said, we need to let God be God and let Him lead...not us.

As I am walking through this season as I write, God has blessed me with much direction and the continual healing step by step of my back and feet. It is amazing the difference in how my body is feeling and the energy levels that are coming back. Our God is so gracious.... Sometimes with me, I think is is trying to get my attention! all this said, It is so great to worship and serve a God of restoration and love.

I am posting this because I feel others may be in the same place as I was and may need direction on what to do.

May you all have a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas remembering Jesus is the reason for the season.
