It has been quite some time since I have written anything on my blog. I have been battling in my mind. Thankfully, the Lord loves me enough to wait on me, let me go through my temper tantrum, then scoop me up in His arms and tell me how much He loves me. He never lets me stay down long.
Recently, my fleshly desires have been springing forth like crazy in my mind. I desire to do His will, which, of course, I felt is different than what I'm doing now. I desire to have a home to call my own. I desire to have a family. None of these things are bad things, but they have deterred me from truly seeking the Lord.
Even though, in my flesh, I desire these things, God desires them for us, as well. He wants us to be smack dab in the center of His will. He longs for us to be a part of His family. He wants us to find a home with Him. I often place too much value on what the world says is valuable, when really what is truly valuable is a relationship with my Savior.
So today, I simply am thankful. I am thankful that I have a job that provides for me and my family. I am thankful that I have a warm place to lay my head. I am thankful that I am not hungry, that I have food to eat. I am thankful that I have a home in Christ. I am thankful that I am walking through this journey of life not alone, but with Him. I am thankful that "He has lifted me up out of the slimy pit, out of the miry clay," that He "set my feet upon the Rock and gave me a firm place to stand." (Psalm 40:2- taken from a few translations). You, Lord, and You alone are worth to be praised!
