Rested, Relaxed and Rejuvenated!

After a long break and time with family and friends, I am back to my routines and my own bed! Blessed with so much, my heart is filled with gratitude and thankfulness! I looked back at my post from last year at this time and feel so blessed to be provided for in supernatural ways, and grateful for another year to encourage each of you on your journey!

One of the best ways I can think of doing that is to reflect back on your own year and make a list of all the things God has done for you. When we look back we should be wowed and excited, encouraged to keep pressing on to higher goals, dreams and aspirations. Knowing God has been with us each step of the way, has the ability to spur us on to a faster pace, with increased confidence.

Just the other day I was taking my daughter to the airport in fog that limited our view. In the natural I couldn't see too far ahead, however my high tech daughter had a GPS system on her phone that she was very comfortable using. With some persuasion she convinced me to trust her and her device to go an unfamiliar route, to avoid wrecks and reach our destination on time. I cannot say I was comfortable, but I followed her leading and as a result of the success, I have now grown in my confidence.

Is that not the same way it is with Christ. He takes us through difficulties and shows us the way even when we can't see. He lovingly guides us, despite or fears and encourages us to trust him. My daughter explained to me it was a "generational gap" that allowed her to be more confident in trusting technology. I smiled with understanding. With that thought in mind, how much more is our heavenly Father trying to get us to trust him, despite the huge "wisdom gap". First Corinthians 1:25 "For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength".

My encouragement today is to keep pressing on, with a new confidence and assurance that God is on your side and he is working all things to the good of them that love him and are called according to his purpose. Start each day with a renewed sense of purpose and commit your ways to the Lord. He will take you places you've never dreamed of!
