Interruptions

Life can interrupt your plans. At times it may seem like everything is out of control but yet still in control. Things around you can be chaotic but your spirit has the ability to rest in God.

That is what has been going on in my life lately. I can see how much I have matured in God and how my faith has grown stronger. The things that used to take me for a spin don't have that control over me anymore.

Do I still struggle with doubts and fears? Yes, but they don't overcome me the way they used to. I recently had a death in my family and two family members got very sick but I was still at peace.

I remembered that poem about the footprints in the sand. I sat back one day and it hit me. God was carrying me. He was helping me get through some circumstances that a year ago may have consumed me.

It is amazing to me how I can actually be on the other side of my emotions now. I can look back and say "wow you have traveled a long hard road but look at where you are now". I am resting in God.

There are moments when my mind wants to get caught up in my natural circumstances but I quickly bring myself back to the place of faith....of resting and trusting in God. Only He knows the plans He has for me and I must trust that they are good.

I must rest in His undying and unconditional love. I must allow His peace and joy to consume me and saturate me with assurance.

In Him I live, breathe and have my being. Nothing can touch His anointed. I am God's anointed and in Him I will stand.

All praise and honor be to God. :)
