My steps in line with His.

Lately it's been meandering, going this way and that way, and sometimes I feel like I can't even help where my steps take to!
Me 'n Yo are walking that same path, trying to remain in God's will, she's on the other side of the mountain and I'm here... feeling the same as Yo does.
Think I feel... drugged by the idols in the world. I've become numb to... Lord's presence and His voice leading in my life. (lol if the recent doesn't make sense to you, I'll re-phrase it... in regards to "being drugged by idols and numb to Lord's guiding in my life"... things in this world been taking priority in my life, I've let temptations sweep me down it's rivers and I have not let my Lord be the center of my heart, not let Him be my focus in prayer and my everyday activities. Sorry if I speak in riddles.) At the same time I feel I am in His hands and He knows that when I feel like there's NO ENERGY to press into Him, He will pour His Spirit of strength in me.
He assures me of that anyway. Especially lately.

My Sustainer.
That's who He tells me that He is to me.

This sounds so familiar to me, "Perseverance is not a long race, it is many short races one after another. ~Walter Elliott, in The Spiritual Life". Tracey just encouraged me of this today, but in her own words. Hattie was reading to her about how we always long for a break from trials/problems/tough times, but they're never really over because when you get out of one, there's always another that comes up!

But

we are always made stronger by each trouble we go through. God's not concerned about our comfort but only our character.

In my frustrations I been asking God to remind me of who He's been to me and how I can keep ploughing on. Since I first said YES to Jesus, even before, He's reminded me that He's sustained me, He's built up in me a hope that gives birth to an abundent life. And He's blessed me so much, more than I know. Guys... I couldn't have had the great life that I have if it weren't for my trusting in Jesus. His Holy Spirit that has been poured into me has counselled me through it all. Even when I didn't want to listen to Him. He cares when I don't care.

I dance with you Yo, I want to give my praises of thankfulness to.

I'm beat down a lot. But the Spirit in me keeps pulling me up, this Spirit tells me I live for more than just myself, that I'm a part of the great plan the Lord is designing for all of our lives, that He is still the One who pulls me up and brings my feet to dance and my lips to sing.

So I keep my step in line with His. With Jesus. Because my focus sets my reality. My steps I take a day at a time.

I'm here in Williams Lake and I know God is writing an amazing story. He's made history, He's written every moment of it, and He writes each moment now and in the future.

In this story, He tells me through many things, take hope. Don't give up. Lord's faithfulness shall lift us up as on eagle's wings.

He reminds me through His Word, the Bible,

reminds me through people, they don't even have to say anything to me,

reminds me through all nature, they sing louder than any words can, they been designed and created by the One who never fails to bring them from one season to the next,

reminds me through His Spirit alive in me, for greater is He who is in me than He who is in the world,

everyday in whatever way God desires to show His love, He shows it.

... my words ran off with me, ha. Yesterday I had an interview at Boston Pizza for a server/hostess/food bringer-outer, I think it went well, I hope Lance (the Manager) thought it went well as well! The assistant manager goes to me church, I just found out! so maybe I got a chance. My cover letter is still in progress of being written for the fisheries job. I pray that job is still available. I just talked to Jr so sounds like it is;)

Here's some quotes. On perseverance. Yep I'll finish with this. There always fun to think about.

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground.

Perseverance is the hard work you do

after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.
