Have you ever felt like the Lord is really trying to teach you something? Have you felt Him clearly speak to you about something in your life? It is the neatest thing in the world to know it is the Lord speaking to you...urging you to do something, speak to someone or help someone. Whatever it is, it can also be a bit scary as well.
This week I have been reading the "Sermon on the Mount" (Matthew 5, 6 and 7) and the Lord has very much convicted me about some things. He has used that scripture in a powerful way in my life this week. Isn't it crazy how you could have read a verse or passage of scripture before and it not really speak to you and then you read it at a different time in your life and it hits you in the face? I love it...but I am not going to lie that it can be scary. Since starting my reading on Monday and continuing it throughout the week and also attending THRIVE with the women from our church the Lord has made something very clear to me. It is like he is using different things to work in this one area of my life/heart. Seriously....He has even used Josiah talking about something that he has never even mentioned to me in the past to get me to realize that yes, in fact it is the Lord's calling. I experienced something in Walmart today and immediately called Josh when I got to the car to tell him what happened. He and I both agree that it is clearly the Lord...teaching me and maturing me in this area of my life. Part of me is scared but my heart KNOWS without a doubt it is God. I am beyond grateful to have a husband who loves me, listens to me, guides/leads me and encourages me!!! Although he is not physically here with us right now due to work, I am so grateful he was able to talk through some things with me this morning and help me sort out these emotions and feelings in my heart...and then the Walmart thing happened and I was thinking to myself "OK GOD...I HEAR YOU!" What can I say...I am a little stubborn and need to be coaxed for certain things...I need to make sure it isn't my mind playing tricks on me...that it is God and He knows I need that. Thankful for a Lord who knows me, knows my insecurities and will protect me when I feel vulnerable. (Maybe when I obey the Lord's tugging on my heart about this my killer headache will go away. just kidding)
