Things I have been reminded of lately and things it took my computer breaking twice to really learn…
- That I chose well when I didn’t chose the profession of a computer technician
- That God sees so much more of the picture than I do, He knows exactly what we need, when we needed and has promised to and always will supply those needs.
- That I have been blessed beyond measure to have an encouraging, supportive, and so loving family of God back home.
- That it is an incredible privilege and honor to know and be able to communicate with this family, to know their love, and to feel their prayers.
- To never ever feel silly or wrong asking for prayer or support no matter how small it may seem in the scheme of things.
- It is essential that we, the body of Christ act in love always, pray diligently for one another, forgive each other generously, be honest and open, and glorify God as one body together united.
- To completely and fully trust that God knows what He is doing.
- To cling to Him always especially when it is hard, not try to hide how hard it is from Him.
- That the gift of life that God has given us, is right here in this second, this moment, this place, not in another time, another situation, or another country.
- Even though Satan can try to lie to us and discourage us every chance He gets, when we are living our lives as a sacrifice to God, those part of us that He would discourage and lie to are dead. We are new creations in Christ, dead to sin alive in Christ, so Satan as far as I’m concerned is just talking to a dead man (or woman in my case.) He only is trying to deceive the part of us that has already passed away, and the part that is alive is now hidden in Christ, praise the Lord!!
These are just a few whispers, God has spoken to my heart while I have been here, I know I have a whole lot more to learn, but thankfully He is a patient teacher!
“The mind of the sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace."
–Romans 8:6
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” –Romans 8:28
it's incredible that what we learn most is rarely ever in a classroom or sanctuary but in the everyday life experiences that God takes us through, and the quiet, still moments we have alone with Him.
