I have had some recent health issues and found myself in the E.R. a few weeks ago, not sure what was wrong and being a bit scared by all the serious words the doctors were using. In the weeks that have followed, I’ve gone from being very overwhelmed to feeling incredibly blessed and grateful. I have a great church family who have prayed for me faithfully which has been a blessing. But the biggest thing I’m learning is how God is an active participant in things that don’t appear to be the list bit “spiritual.” From guiding me to a new doctor who has not only been an incredible help but also loves God, to leading us to the right medicines that my body seems to really like taking, God has led all the way. Just after my visit to the E.R., I was reading in the Psalms and I found Psalm 16:11 … “You will make known to me the path of life…” and I have claimed that verse as my own for this season of my life. While all these changes and issues aren’t fun and it’s easy to face them negatively, I am finding that God is involved in all of them to the extent I allow Him to be and He has been faithful and good.

I have been struggling with a new job assignment and the move it will entail and the timing of it all. I know it is His Will but I am really stressed about it.

I have been praying and finding comfort in the message “He will make a way where there is no way - He will bring peace.”

He is definitely making sure I have TRULY set it in my heart that HIS PLAN IS GOOD. His plan is ultimate. His plan is for HIS glory. My plans are not as good.

I am not going to lie, that it doesn’t hurt a bunch. There have been some ugly cries, as I try to make sure that the desires of my heart, are His desires. I am finding a whole lot of new truths about what he desires for me and my family.

But there have also been sweet moments that have come about through the uncomfortable. As I continue to pray that the growth of our family be on His terms and according to His will!

Too much before 5? :)

Last week I fell and broke my ankle. We live in Singapore, with no family nearby. I have two boys, ages 4 and 2. To say it is overwhelming to deal with all that is an understatement. BUT my God is so big and He is equipping me daily with strength to deal with this trial in my life. We are studying Beth Moore’s “Daniel” here at church right now, and I am being delivered through this fire, day by day. I’m not sure all the lessons that God will teach me over the next 6 weeks while I live in a walking city and cannot walk. I’m looking forward to it.

Last year i accepted jesus into my life..since then my life seems more FULL,I really feel like im a whole person again,like that “something” that was missing in my life is now here..Im so happy!!! God has done so much for me this new year,I am so blessed!!!! 2010 is the year for me.yay!!!

Now i just pray that my partner will come into gods kingdom and know the joy and happiness of living a life giving glory to our father god and also what god has installed for us!!! God loves me so much and i love we love God.xxx

In this great endeavor called Life, I recently faced some developments that left me feeling very small in a great big world-like everything I had trusted the Lord for was just out of my reach.

Oh- how I related to the children of Israel at the doorstep of the promised land! They had seen God move miraculously time and time again. And while all indications were that the land was indeed flowing with milk and honey, they couldn’t get past the fortified cities, the strong people, the obstacles that stood in their way. They raised their voices and wept, talked of stoning Moses and Aaron and made plans to return to Egypt.

Ouch! My heart was smitten. I repented.

God admitted- the nations were greater and stronger than the Israelites, with cities that had walls up to the sky-but that HE would go before them. He needed a people who would believe, trust and cooperate with Him.

The enemy of our souls would try to keep us from entering into the promises of God, from taking possession of all that the Lord has for us. In the natural-there would be little hope. But with renewed faith and trust I will partner with HIM who is able!
