What an adventure!
I think getting your life back on track has to be one of the hardest things to do. My life is a continuous movement of the heart God gave me. I was listening to a sermon today and the question was posed, "When you leave this earth, what few words would describe your life, that would glorify God?" I found it very interesting and pondered the thought. After much thought I was like, I got it! Her life was a drink offering! In the bible it talked about an offering of wine and water representing the pouring out of ones life for another. That was it, that was me. God gave me the spirit to pour out to others. I don't have alot and I am a tad quirky, but I never say no and willgive my all to anyone who needs it.
So I then began to look back on the days where I felt so tired and drained, wondering who would fill me back up. God's word fills me when I have nothing left. I have learned over the past few months that I must continue to do God's will for my life even though I may feel tired and broken.
I must rest in his strength and know that he is God. I finally understnad that scripture. I know how to rest in him. I strive for the Proverbs 31 woman mentality. I know I can not have idle hands and I am to bring honor to my family. People make fun because I am a neat freak and wants things a certain way, but God does not say living in chaos is ok. I can't function or pour out if I am in chaos, either mentally or spiritually.
Seeking after God's will has tested me. I am still on the journey towards His will and will stay on the road until the end.
