Season for Change

Sometimes I just want to write it all down. Every little (and big) bit of it. So much happens from one day to the next, but I never even know where to start. Someone suggested just writing like you are talking to a friend, and she is right in the room with you. I feel like if I would just start I could write and write and write. About the Goodness of God. About his awesome and amazing ways. About the tremendous and (sometimes) trying people he has placed in my life. About the blessings and the not so blessed. I could write about how he profoundly spoke straight to my heart last week and reminded me exactly why I do the things I do...I am not my own. I have been bought with a price, and because of that I want to continually pay the price that he asks of me. I never want to let Him down. I want to serve Him and His people ...which at times is tiring. But His strength is made perfect in my weakness. I can do ALL things through Him...He will give me His strength. He will NEVeR let me down. He always comes through.

So, the last few months have been a season of change...our Church has in so many words been climbing uphill. Seems like we are at the top...(of this mountain,I know there will be more)God has been working and getting us ready for what He is about to do. And I know it is going to be big. What a great time for it...Autumn. A season of change...a time for reaping the harvest of all the hot, summer months .

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Luke 10:2

We are Praying for labourers. And we are thanking God for the Harvest He has sent.

Autumn is also a time for the leaves to fall...and a few have. The Lord knows his plans for us though and they are to prosper us.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11

I am so thankful to know that He holds all of my tomorrow's in His hand.

Pit Stops and Coffee Shops

Life has been busy!! It feels like I have been running a race. A never-ending one. Keeps things exciting...My life is definately a journey. We have been working on my dream. A little Shop with coffee. A place to make friends. An outlet for creative people to sell their items. And a place to have a great cup of Coffee. Now that it is almost done, I think I need to have a rest. I think I will sit right here and do just that. Maybe I should have called it the Pit Stop.

I'm Not Enough

Every now and then I get this overwhelming feeling of inadequacy...how am I going to do it all? Accomplish it all? Keep up with it all? I am just not enough...
I cannot reach the hurting, I on my own am not enough.
I cannot make the right kind of difference in someones life, I simply am not enough.
I cannot be what He has called me to be, do what He wants me to do, speak the words He would have me to speak, I am just not enough...
Then the Lord, oh so sweetly reminds me..."No, you are not enough...but I AM more than enough, my grace is sufficient, You can do all things through me, I will give you the words in that hour, I am a lamp unto your feet, I will not leave you or forsake you, I am with you" He is all I need. His grace, His Mercy, His love, His direction. Thank You Jesus for your reminder. I am nothing. You are more than enough. You are everything.
