Every day we
have a high calling that we need to fulfill and every day we can do it, whether it’s just to smile at somebody we little know. Lacey

You were put
on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to
do it FEARLESSLY. Steve Maraboli
How
blessed we are as human beings, as men and women on this God given earth. When I consider thy heavens, the work of
thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou has ordained. What is man, that
thou art mindful of him? And the son of man that thou visit him? For thou
crowned him with glory and honor (Psalms 8:3-5).
The
last few years of my life have been a terrain of ups and downs. Trials, errors,
victories and loneliness. Confusion and testing of my faith. This life is and
has truly been testing me. I read that we all will have the "Job" experience, but
it is how we deal with it to build our strength and what God is doing in it
that makes the difference.
I
have looked down in the darkness of the well of life. I have FAILED in many
aspects of my life (spiritually/physically). I have had to make very tough
heart wrenching, belly aching, heart throbbing decisions. There were and still
are many times that it has ONLY been the mercy of God that has held me and is
holding me together. I have frayed at the edges so many days, asking the Lord
so many questions. Often tears are my only words, my only form of expression.
My
Savoir has never let go of my hand, I am sure there were many days where He
picked up my lifeless body and carried me. I found refuge in prayer, the word
of God, friends, honesty and asking the Lord to help me. I promised Him that I
would not give up or let go, even if it means holding on by a string.
I
feel like I am just standing still, I feel at times like I am having a strange experience.
I can see purpose and myself in the mirror but...... but what? I feel like I am
at a door, the sign says open, come in. I go in and speak to the wise man, He
tells me great prophesies of life and promised me that if only I trust His words
all will be well. Yet I am always stumbling, constantly questioning my purpose
and His promises. He tells me that there are many great things for me to
accomplish here. Great work to be done for the Kingdom. Strength and power He
will give to me- just trust Him and have some faith.Why
then the same story day after day, I know that I have been com-placement. I feel
stuck,doing the same song and dance every day. The truth is I am fed up with the mundane.
I want MORE. I have been asking the Lord where I belong. Where do you want me
to be? Who do you need me to help? The fault is not with God you know it is
within us.
For
the longest time I have had dreams in which I am always helping the children of
the world the poor and less fortunate. I once was set on travelling all over to
do mission work with children. I am not sure who has taken that dream from me.
The man who buried his talent was cast away and it was also taken away from
him. I pray the gifts that the Lord gave to me I will use.
I
intend on having patience and will continue to ask Him to be my strength in all
my weaknesses. We need to purpose in our hearts to live a full life for God and
on the earth. We are here only for a moment. We are sent to TRANSFORM this world;
all who are on this earth right now are here for this time, for a reason.
Lord
you are my fortress, my refuge, and my strong tower. There are greater things
in this life that you and I need to accomplish. Let us walk in his statues and
continue to live, love and TRY our best and FEAR NOT.
The Lord is
on my side, I will not fear, what can man do unto me (Psalms 118:6)
Lord direct our paths that we may
walk in strength and PURPOSE. Equip us with the Holy Spirit and let our lives
show that there is a special light in us. Help us to do our best; help us to not
get weary in our walk. Help us to see our lives through heaven’s eye.
Enjoy the songs.
God bless
