Wow--Growth

I just glanced over to the "About Me" section of this blog.  And the first line is "After spending too much time saying things like, 'God, You just don't care....' I realized that I don't say that all that often any more.  How cool is that!!  I don't always like the path God leads me on.  I don't understand and a lot of time it hurts and frustrates, getting through the day leaves me drained.  Other times the Lord shines brightly on my hours, I am uplifted and steady.  (A normal, mixed human existence I guess) But I know God is there, and most of the time I remember He cares and loves me. GROWTH!! Yaay!!

This is especially encouraging and I thank the Lord for pointing it out.  I see so little progress in certain areas and I get discouraged.  I love how our Father enheartens us at just the right time.  Giving us that much needed shot in the arm, boosting our spirits.  Growth.  I know I need to see this.  I need to see that my battling, especially within myself, is not in vain...but I am on the right road with the Lord. And we are moving forward.

It's funny, I wasn't really sure what I would be writing today.  I have had a few things over the last week that I have been touched by, and then I thought about sharing from Mom's journal.. But the Lord had another plan.  He guided my eyes to see one sentence on this page.  And then led me in a whole different direction, and uplifted my heart at the same time.

Thank You Lord for helping me to grow.  I pray that those who read this are growing in their lives too.  Lord, mature Your children that we may glorify You.
