God knows the truth and He doesn’t assign me the task of changing anyone’s mind or proving my position to onlookers/others and asks me to only pick up my cross and follow Him. By the Holy Spirits help and work in me and the hearts of others I pray that He will give understanding on the assignment we all have been given to practice obedience and live peaceably in unity like James 3. I pray for verse 18 to come to pass and know God keeps ALL his promises and is good ALL the time.

Just today, I met for lunch with one of my old church friends that I have lost touch with due to life changes. I asked her to pray for me recently via text because without much effort, I knew our friendship was genuine and centered around Christ. When we met today, I poured out some burdens resting on my chest and some spiritual battles I have been struggling with. She immediately called me to action not out of frustration but out of love. She told me very clearly and directly that I need to take my faith seriously and get involved with a trusted believing community of people, to seek wisdom and counsel from older members of the church.

This week has been a spiritual battle for me. I pray that God would remain at the center of my heart. I thank Him and praise Him for never leaving me, constantly pursuing me and the unending forgiveness of Jesus’s blood. I pray that He would help guide me straight to the path that He needs me for. I pray that I would do a good job of setting my burdens at His feet, trusting His plan for my life and taking action as an obedient follower of Him.

As a busy mum of 3 even a baby with a cold can mean I miss a Sunday service so i have been trying to connect in lots of ways throughout the week. The effort I have made at church is evident in the friendships I have made and it’s amazing to connect with others who have the same perspective as you and understand my situation. Their counsel has been invaluable in difficult chapters of life!

I have also become very close to my pastor’s wife. We are battle buddies, and I am learning so much from her. Sometimes it is easy for me to ask for guidance, however sone situations are harder to discuss. I am very dedicated to studying my Bible daily. My husband and my children, do not study at all. I hope I can impart some of what I am learning on them. I pray my dedication will inspire them in their walk with God!

I’m a people pleaser and I hate confrontation so I tend to befriend anyone who will have me. Not that this is always bad, but in the past I have rushed into some friendships which did not help me grow and were hard to be freed from when I knew I needed to walk away. As I get older I’m thankful for my true friendships even though we don’t all live in the same cities anymore.
