In Relationship

The last few days and days ahead are really busy for me as I am trying out a new business venture kicking off with Valentines Day Weekend. I'm taking a break to write down some thoughts. I'm writing this blog post little by little and by the time you read it, it will probably be old news.
God never sleeps, He is always watching over me. The thing that has gotten me through these days is knowing God is with me. I tell Jesus about everything. I cannot honestly say I do this everyday, I'd like to.
I desire to have a deeper relationship with God. Being in a relationship requires participation and trust. I'm learning to say this out loud; I trust you Lord to take care of me, I trust you Lord to give me creative ideas, I trust you Lord to guide my hands. I trust you to provide. I welcome Your Love and Comfort.
He cares about the very details of our lives. He knows all our junk and is still jealous for us. Her pursues us. We are not used to that kind of love. Unconditional love is hard thing to come by. My circumstances are requiring things out of me that would have been impossible for me to do a month ago. God is giving me favor and grace. I asked Him a week ago to help me renew my faith and be joyful. We talked about my heart and all I could do was cry out, I need You. I asked Him to speak loudly and clearly and He has done that. There are times when I have been in the valley. Here recently I said my valley had a sink hole and I fell into it. God was just as much with me then as He is today in a day of rejoicing, I just did not acknowledge He was. I didn't feel like He was with me, I felt forgotten and I was hurting. But He heard my cry and He answered me. I know that He is the One True God. Jehovah Jireh!
Our circumstances that challenge our faith are good. We are able to see God move supernaturally. He is worthy of our love and praise. I long for You Lord! I love You, I trust You! Help me to see who needs Your love. This is not something that needs to be kept quiet and private all to myself. I must what share what He is doing in my life. I grieve for Him when I am distracted and my focus leaves Him. I am not going to beat myself up over yesterday. I have to evaluate my schedule. There are so many opportunities, but what has God called me to do this day? Put those things off that are coming between me and you He says. He is waiting with open arms.
I Praise God for the privilege to be in relationship with Him and the sacrifice Christ made so that I can be free. The freedom to change is in my hands, I choose to make my relationship with God a priority.

Thank you Lord for grace to stay up yet another morning until 4 am. He is the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I go to bed. I am crazy for Him. Are there any other nuts out there like me or am I alone? Who else has church at 4 am?

I am thankful for all the great love songs there are to sing about Him. This right here is the key. It's the answer to everything. That empty void is gone and here He is speaking loudly through others, through my spouse, through my children, through His provision. I crave to stay in this place! Mountain tops!

God is working miracles in our lives. Every need is being taken of despite Ian was laid off. My business venture was a huge success. I give God all the glory and thank Him for this favor that I did nothing to deserve. I found out today He provided the exact amount of profit I needed. I say that is another way He is speaking loud to me.

I hope whoever reads this knows they are not alone and the same grace and favor that I received this week can be yours as well. It all starts by seeking God. We have to give him room to work in our lives and we have to be willing to give up those things that keep us away from Him. There are so many scriptures that come to mind but instead of sharing all them here is the song I am singing this morning and soaking in God's love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWgeUrD4MHI

I hope you will do the same thing today, just soak it in!

Dreaming of freedom from distractions and a deeper relationship with my first love.
