Life is progressing

This week has been full...it is amazing how we can see God's hand in every area of our lives when we are looking to Him, when we are seeking Him in every day activities and it is such an incredible blessing.

The progression of life has taken me to my 30th birthday, that number sounds amazing, so young, but yet at the same time the Lord has blessed me with many days upon this earth and I am grateful for each of them, those I would count as joyous and those that were the most trying, each and everyone has formed the woman I am today.

Over the past year I have had a goal to become debt free, I am almost there, Lord willing, without any unforeseen financial responsibilities, I will have achieved that goal in a couple of weeks, praise the Lord. Debt was something that was always a part of life, something expected, what a relief as the Lord has enabled me to pay off one bill at a time, such an incredible burden lifted with each one.

I have also noticed how He has grown in me over this past year as I have been more aware of how I am spending my money. There have been incredible blessings, where I haven't really felt like I am doing without. I have had the blessing of a few trips this year, Bolivia, Colorado and Arizona. And the possibility of a few more coming up, Bolivia again, Honduras and a week at the beach in North Carolina.

He has been showing me more of who I am and less of who the world has tried to create me to be. I have been discovering dreams anew and setting goals that are beyond anything I had thought of before. I have begun training for a sprint triathlon and have been learning to scull. The Lord has put a desire in my heart to purchase a home and I have begun the process of contacting a realtor and lender.

And more than all this He has revealed more of who He is to me, He has taught me the meaning of love, and how great His love is for me. He has given me a greater heart for the lost and those who are wandering. He has given me a greater understanding of His word and a desire to research for myself so many things...eternal security, rapture and tribulation for the saints, etc.

With all this a greater desire for Acts 2:42 in my life and those around me.
