There are times in your life you feel compelled to share some things with others. On this day I have that need. This is a confession, as well as a testimony for the Lord! It is quite long and Im sorry about that, but I had to write all that I needed to say. Steve and I have been going through some really tough times for quite awhile now. (NOT problems between him and me)..... During all of this, Unfortunately and Ashamedly, I have to say that I let my faith waiver, I was constantly trying not to let this happen and I was constantly asking for forgiveness from the Lord for allowing all this doubt and fear to be in my heart and I had people praying For me and With me, Yet I was still fearful. (Matthew 8:26 says And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.) That was me, the oh ye of little faith! I was at my wits end and completely falling apart. As I fell apart ..I surrendered it ALL to the Lord and His will, like I Should have done all along!! Then just like the above scripture says ... I became perfectly calm. Did I still have moments where anxiety tried to take over yet again? Yes, I did! The difference though is that I immediately fell on my knees and begin to pray for forgiveness, and to please dont let this take me over Again, Lord. And He did just that! Now, after I surrendered My will to the Lord , things begin to happen that could help All of these tough times that we have been going through. Amazing possibilities...God did Not have to give me Any signs that He was working on our behalf (thats what faith is all about..believing the unseen and unknown) YET, that is Exactly what He did for us!!! He showed His love for me and let me Know He was working on our behalf, at a time where I thought I couldnt take any more! ( I Could have , through his strength, But he showed me great mercy!) NOW, if youre thinking, Well obviously things must have turned out ok, so of course she is sharing this story , because she no longer has to fret over anything. Well that is NOT the case. We Do have beautiful ,beautiful possibilities ahead of us and things we feel could most certainly take place to bring us out of this rough time. However, as I write this, we are still WAITING on the Lord to bring things to fruition! (In His time and according to His will) I just Needed to confess the story of my shortcomings, ( we all sin and fall short of the glory of God) and I wanted to share what I felt we All need to know.... That you Need to.. Surrender YOUR will to Him, Wait upon Him, And Believe, Believe, Believe... That He hears you, That He loves you, That His grace is sufficient for you, That He will never leave you, That His will for you is perfect, That He Will answer you! And Praise Him through it all! I Believe!! I Will wait upon the Lord, and I KNOW He is working things out for My good! Forgive me Lord, where I have failed you! I am ashamed of myself!
