I am Blessed

There is so much good surrounding my life and my walk in Christ. Solely focusing on those things is what keeps me afloat in pain and heartache and loneliness and fear. How else can we survive this horrible world we live in??? Looking at God's blessings and His love. And realizing ALLLLL things work together for our good for us who love Him.

I am a horrible person and I know it. But knowing who we are in Christ changes our lives and delivers us. I am so happy that God has worked my life and I have chosen to listen to His direction. Because of this I have received the giant blessing of Freedom in Christ. I KNOW who I am in Jesus. What a wonderful thing. So many people don't get that. Even Christians. That blessing alone could carry my life into bliss until it ends.

But God cannot stop there. No way. He's gotta pour our wayyyy more blessings on me. Why? Oh I can't fathom why He loves me so much. But what honor to know that He does.

If I wrote a list on some of the blessings I receive DAILY I'd take up most of this page. God's goodness surrounds my thoughts everyday and keeps me above the evil life I had before. I have seen with my very eyes the fall of wonderful Christian people who once were on fire for God but life discouraged them so badly that they lost God. They literally forgot about Him. They listened to the evil one and actually believed the lies he spoke.

Friends for me I must constantly keep my eyes, ears, lips, and heart fixed on the Father. I know what can happen when we slide from Him. I really do know. And I don't wanna be there.

So I like to talk about, think about and read about all things God & Jesus. I know that when life's tragedies and heartache come at me again I will be strong and faithful to my Lord. Because I have invested my time in Him.

And I thank the Lord I am finally at that place. How long I rode the short bus of avoiding God's truth. What a blessing, indeed.

P.S. I made a home-made chicken pot pie and cherry cheesecake cookies tonight. Just so you know. And I really thought about taking pictures of them, but it is about -40 degrees outside and I didn't want to go get the camera from my car!! So use your imagination. ;-)
