Blessings!

This month has been one of reflection, anticipation and growth. I have been exposed to a whole new level of God's grace.

Learning to stay focused on one thing at a time, one project at a time, one goal at a time is hard for me. I equate everything I do to time. I sometimes feel like I'm running out of time or wasting time. The enemy is tricky and he uses the things that God is trying to deliver us from to keep us off track. I thought that I had learned to listen for God's voice and not to follow where He wasn't leading, but this past weekend I found out that was not the case.

I learned that sometimes we will follow the voice that speaks the loudest. Even when we hear God's voice clearly, we will sometimes doubt what we hear. That reaction is called a lot of different things, but it mainly boils down to being afraid. Sometimes we're caught between wanting to move where God wants us to be and staying where we feel all warm and safe.

I have been focusing on my relationship with God and trying to really grab hold of the things He has for me. It's an awesome thing to know that God loves you so much that He is willing to wait for you to get it. He keeps showing up in the most unlikely places and sending people to say the exact thing you need to hear. I love that about Him. He lets you know that when you keep your heart focused on Him, He will be there for you.

More than anything else, we have to learn to trust God, trust the process and know that God's plan is perfect. Sometimes things may not go the way we think they should, that doesn't mean that we've failed...it just means that we still have some learning to do.

Until next time...

Be blessed!
