Today was a good day to get several things done. I was able to finish more of the work project I am doing, got laundry done, spent some neat time with a old friend and am now at church while my daughter is in Kids Praise practice. It is all good. I couldn't even complain about the weather, it was 84 and my family and friends up north are in sub zero temps.
I started the day off with prayer and worship time along with a devotional reading. Very important for me getting a grip on my stance with God at this moment in time. I realize I am not in the beginning, laying a need before Him and I am definitely not at the end with the answer to prayer and walking in the abundant blessing. Where I am is in the middle portion, staying the course, not really feeling or hearing Him, walking the faith and obedience walk, fully committed to finish the course and staying positive as best I can.
Lord, I am grateful for all You do for me. I know You are with me each day even when I don't feel or hear You. I am committed and going to use all my strength You provide me to keep on course. I am tuning my heart to expectancy and I can't wait for the break through. Until then I am devoted to You and moving one step at a time. Amen
So kneeling in the path and then finding a rock to lean on I prayed. I wept. I found joy in the solitude of this place. I have no sense of the Almighty but I know in my spirit He is here. I look around but in the darkness I can see nothing so I close my eyes and rest my head. I fall asleep dreaming of a majestic place where angels and choirs are singing, the Son is the shining light and there will never be darkness at all.
Soon I feel warmth on my face. I open my eyes to the daylight and the warmth of the sun on me. There are clouds around but it is a crisp cool morning and time to get up and get moving.
Before leaving here I thank God for seeing me through the dark of night and for His comfort and protection. I am sold out to this journey. I have given myself to every broken spot He has touched and to the transformation He is fashioning before my eyes. I take Him at His Word and shout it out as a proclamation for the day. It is going to be good, it is going to be great, it is going to be fantastic and I am happy I get to manifest what ever reflection of Jesus I can.
Pushing onward the going is still very steep. I have no idea when this climb will end, if there will be another place to rest or if I will encounter any more fearful occurrences. But I know I can't go back, the only way is forward. No matter how far I have yet to climb it will be worth it. I have never had the Lord lead me where there wasn't something for me to stand in awe about.
So onward, upward, one foot then the other. I regulate my breathing, the air is very dense and the altitude makes each step hard. I am struggling to keep upright. Even if I have to crawl I will keep moving.
