As I look at the date of my last post, it has been 4 months since I have blogged!! I guess I'm not a very good blogger:) Truth is so much has gone on in our lives these last 4 months, but a lot of things I just didn't feel led to share on my blog. My life just in this past year has gone through more difficult things than I think in all my 30 years of life. The Lord is continuing to show Himself faithful to us as He always does and is carrying us through, stretching us and in the end we will be made stronger than ever:) As He is the potter and I am the clay, I feel like He has spun me around and around and I am just waiting for this season in my life to finally stop spinning and become a beautiful vessel. The Lord has just reminded me this morning in Isaiah 45:22...
"Look to Me, and be saved,
All you ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other."
Oswald Chambers says on this verse, "Rouse yourself up and look unto God. Build your hope on Him, no matter if there are a hundred and one things that press, resolutely exclude them all and look to Him. 'Look unto Me,' and salvation is, the moment you look."
That is exactly what I have had to do everyday lately, even several times a day...look unto Him. That moment that I look to Him, my problems and trials are no longer in front of me, but I am saved!
God is so faithful! Today Matthew and I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary!! I am so thankful for Matthew and for the Lord blessing me with the perfect man for me. They say that going through difficult things in your life as you are married can either make you or break you. I couldn't imagine having those things break us as those difficulties in both our lives this year have only drawn us closer than ever and closer to the Lord through them. He is my best friend and I love him with all my heart! Thank you Lord for being so faithful to us these last 8 years!!
Great post! I feel alot of the same lately. Don't know what I would do if I didn't have him to look to.
