He will also provide a way out

I am growing with each new day even through the midst of heartache and despair. I am learning to surrender one day at a time to God so that I may glorify him; this is a new way of life for me that will take some time to fully learn but Iam surrendered to doing.

Tonight I went to my SA meeting and shared with the guys about the sermon on Sunday and as I told them the story you could see the new guy across from me tearing up. On his face you could see him longing for what I had just experienced. Wow, it was not to long ago that I was sitting in his chair; my heart goes out to him!

There were many triggers though for me as I went through out my day but the great thing about this is that I was able to see at the end of the day that God was there for me and I did not face these things alone. I am now beginning to understand the passage in 1 Corinthians 10:13 in the NIV tells us, “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” I did exactly that I made it through my day standing, wow! Thanks you God for revealling yoursellf to me once again.

TRUSTING GOD, right now!

The last few weeks my Pastor has been preaching on the life of David, I never realized how screwed up (and like me) David was. Yet he was a man after Gods own heart only seeking through his own restoration to find a closeness with God. Pastor brought out how David knew if he was to find restoration he would only need to do one thing and that would be to trust God. I went to the alter today and told God I want true restoration and to fully trust him through all these things I have no power or control over and know that He will provide for me and take care of me. Well, after the service was done I went out to my truck to go home and it would not start, another man in the church tried to help me jump-start my truck but nothing. After a short period of checking out the engine and looking like I knew what I was doing (which I didn't) I thought I would try one more time to restart it and next thing I knew my truck catches on FIRE! Now I could really be discouraged and let this defeat me ...

Paralyzed

I am so grateful for the many victories I have been able to experience in my life these past few months with God’s help! Only with Him have I been able to experience such grace in my life by the people he has placed with me. Yet through these victories are still many struggles that seem to paralyze me and keep me bound. Let me give you an example; I have a post office box that I am terrified to go open myself because I am afraid of what will be in there waiting for me. I owe so many people more money than I can pay at this time, I am afraid my lawyer is going to drop me because of my bill and I am afraid of the unknown. So these fears are keeping me paralyzed from moving forward and procrastinating at opening mail that I need to face in order to live each day. A friend who has her own struggles in life sent me this the other day in an e-mail and it really helped; "God wants us always to be in a position of trusting Him. Worry is the work of our flesh and is unscriptural. Wo...

God’s love for me is undeniable

I have had a lot of up and downs the last few weeks but I am starting to realize what God is trying to do in me. God has had to take me to nothing to rebuild my life in Him and for me to trust Him. I only thought I knew who God was but when I am honest with myself I have to admit that I have no clue who God is and how He views me. I have such a hard time trying to conceiving the idea of how much He loves me. However, God’s love for me is undeniable when I see how far He has brought me in such a short period of time. I have so much to learn about His love, knowing He loves me is in my head but my life has not experienced love without rejection, hurt or something being demanded in return so why wouldn’t I think He will reject me after all that I have done. Yes, I know he is God and not the others in my life that used me and hurt me but I still am afraid He will reject me (even though I know that in God’s word He states He won’t). Does that make any since? I had finished writing out my fi...
