Going the distance

I believe there is a time in every Christians life where they fear going where the Lord wants them to go, because of the things they are leaving behind! Family, familiar comforts, and friends, leaving them all behind for something new and strange!

But it is often when we do what the Lord wills, that we will be blessed for our faith and trust in Him! I know that I am both excited and afraid about what lay ahead with my future with my husband to be! But at the same time, its a comfort to know that the Lord is the one who brought Daniel into my life, and that he has had the center the whole time! True, none of us are perfect, and we will make mistakes, but that is why the Lord is with us every step of the way!

Going the distance is about doing whatever it takes to complete the task assigned to you, but in this post I am speaking mainly about doing what the Lord wills, even when you want to do the exact opposite! I believe we all will come to a point in our lives when we don't want to do what the Lord tells us, but its what we do when that happens that tells the people around you if you truly trust your Lord or not! When we struggle, its a perfect time put legs to your words, the things you profess to believe, and who you profess to follow!

Christian, I encourage you to go the distance for the Lord! It is a wonderful thing to suffer for the Lords things, and the Lord blesses us for the sufferings we go through in his name!

We will never stop learning Christian, we will always be learning something new! I am going the distance for my Lord, are you? God bless you all and thanks for reading!

Two weeks of painful, wonderful time spent before the Lord!

My dear fellow bloggers, I have been very tardy, and beg your forgiveness! I have been very distracted with God's newest blessing in my life! Since our engagement, the Lord has kept both me and my beloved Daniel very busy, but just these past two weeks, the Lord made it possible for me to go visit my fiance! This was the first time I had seen him since he asked me to court him back on August 8th 2010! Let me tell you my fellow girl bloggers, it wasn't easy being with the love of my life, and not give him a hug or just hold his hand! It was an emotionally draining experience, and I would do it all over again in a heart beat! The Lord has blessed us as we continue to wait until marriage to truly hold each other, which is our hearts desire toward each other! We have 3 and a half more months before we see each other again, which will be the day before we get married, on April 30th 2011!

The only thing that would be better than marrying Daniel, would be the Lord's coming! Other than that, nothing compares! I am sure alot of young people know what I mean when I say how hard it is to wait for that right person! I was young, and yet I felt the Lord had left me out of the love and happiness plans! But it was when I truly gave everything over to the Lord did I truly understand what the Lord desires from us as singles, and as couples! He desires our trust, and our humble loving submission, to let him have control in our lives! He says, "Step back, and see what I can do with your life!" And you know what Christian? He will give you over and above what you prayed for! Daniel is living proof of that! I prayed for a godly man who loved the Lord with his whole heart, and who had never shared a kiss with a woman before! And the Lord brought me Daniel, who is the most loving tender hearted man I know, and who reminds me so much of my father! I fall in love with my Lord, and my fiance over and over again everyday! The Lord is so good!

I hope this is only ever an encouragement for you my fellow bloggers! Please let the Lord have control, and stop trying to control your life by yourself! The sooner you give everything over to the Lord, and listen to him, the sooner he can bless you, like he desires to do! We will only ever make mistakes, and the Lord will only make the right choice, in his perfect holiness! I pray my fellow bloggers that you will consider where you are as a Christian, and pray to the Lord for guidance as you seek his will for your life! I love you all so much, my brothers and sister in Christ, and I pray you learn from my mistakes, and go the easy way, letting the Lord have control, and your burdens will be lighter! I speak from experience! :) God bless you all, and thank you for reading!
