A Victory For Me

It is amazing how God is starting to reveal Himself to me. Recently I have found encouragement from some of the most unlikely places. The internet use to be a place where my addiction was fed and now is being used asa tool to fight my addiction. I recently came across a website at http://www.higher-calling.com/index.php and it has been a true blessing. There I have met other people who are struggling with some of the same things I am and understand my battles.

Tonight I found myself with a temptation and I was unable to get in contact with my supports that have in placed here, so I went to this website and posted what I was going through. In just a short period of time I had someone praying for me and giving me supports. Wow! Just yesterday I struggled with what I feared others thought of me and tonight I had strangers reaching out to me, isn’t God wonderful? The best part about this is that I can claim it as a victory for me.

Dear God, thank you for the people you have placed in my life that have given me strength in my time of need. You are so faithful to me even when I am not, you love me when I don’t feel loveable and you are gracious to me when I don’t deserve it. You are becoming my God, for the first time in a long time I feel like I am drawing closer to you. Thank you for your mercy and grace, please keep me safe from myself and the things that tempt me. I will learn to serve you all over again and to trust in you through all my fears. Thank you God for the things you have done and are going to do in my life, you have given me a reason to face another day.

  Today I was talking with a friend of mine and it feels so good that I can relay how I really like the changes God has placed in my life this past year. In my journey I discovered I was the biggest problem in my life. I’m not trying to sound spiritual in any way shape or form, but God is shaping me into a totally different person. The things I love to do are totally different, the things that I find funny are totally different. I don’t have to be the center of attention to make people like me because most of my life I thought I was unlikable. God has shown me how to love myself and not hate who I am. That makes all the difference in the world. So I’m telling you all this, because I’m finding that my relationships with other people are so much better now https://www.intentionalguy.com/

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 ...

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 surrende r 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...
