After reading my friend J's wonderful blogs, I have been inspired to start my own. I have a long history of bad decisions, lousy choices and times away from God. But I believe I have now been "overtaken by blessing". Deuteronomy 28 speaks of this. When I have chosen to turn my life toward God, obey him and trust him I am promised that my children will be blessed, that my enemy will be defeated, and that the Lord will bless all that I do. What an amazing promise!
It is often hard for me to give everything over to the Lord. I am a "fixer". I like to do it myself. I like to jump in with both feet and just get it done. The Lord has shown me that it is not always my job to do that. He is teaching me more and more to let Him have that responsibility. My job is to pray and seek His face...To keep those I love covered in prayer and he will provide the hedge of protection around them...to forgive as I have been forgiven...to just bask in His presence.
I am grateful to my God who not only loves me unconditionally but takes my burdens off my shoulders and puts them into His hands.
