Evolve: to develop and progress
For the past month or so, my walk with God and life with the Holy Spirit, I feel has evolved. So many words come to mind when thinking about this process: change, proceed,. In my head it partly makes sense since my birthday is coming up both my real life birthday and my born again birthday. I feel like a different person then where I was a year ago. A lot of things both good and bad have changed for me. James 1:4 “Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
I am so much more thankful about life and the process that we all go through to get where we are supposed to be. I knew that the Lord was calling me and when I answered he showed me how wonderful things could really be. I have seen a progression in this past year to one that I did not know was even coming my way. I have seen the Lord burden my heart with so many things from the smallest ant to the biggest fight of helping those that can not help themselves. I have always tried to be a giving person, but have found that I am giving more with my heart not because I have to but because this is what a child of God does. I have seen that the Lord has given me strength in situations where I was weak before. He has spoken to my heart about obedience and the evolution or changing and developing with him that needs to be taking place. I was always a bit lost thinking that my way was the only way, but the Lord has shown me over and over and over again that this is about him not me in every instance.
James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” So here I am being obedient and following the Lord’s word. I do not doubt how Almighty and powerful God is, I just am crying out to him through daily prayer and through my voice in writing this blog to know that I am need of the Lord’s help. He has shown me that I am meant to be in Africa, now I need help with how I am supposed to get there. I know that He will provide everything just as he continues to do through so many people. It can just be a hard time to deal with just like in James with the trials that come up in life. I see that there are so many bigger things in life that are trials but I feel that this burden is just weighing so heavy on my heart. Thank you Lord Almighty for being such a wonderful God who provides all. It is so overwhelming to know that he is a God that always provides no matter what. Thank you Lord!
I also wanted to bring to the attention of anyone that is a follower of this blog a few websites and blogs of those that I have been following. Here are their sites and a brief description of what/who they are.
