Talk to Your Father
God has restored the joy in my life that I lost for a little while! One thing that has been made clear to me is to lean on Him daily. Leaning on Him daily means being in constant communication with Him. Having a prayer life is so crucial! Its more than just blessing each meal and thanking Him for things at the end of the day, but its about wanting to know God intimately and desperately and seeking His willl for your life. It's a joy to get up in the morning (and everyone knows I'm not a morning person) or go to bed at night and just talk to my Daddy. It has brought a peace in my life that I'm so grateful for! Not only is constant communication about prayer life, but its about being in God's Word. It's amazing the things God will show and reveal to you if you give Him the chance! Just thought I'd share this because it's on my heart!

Bring It On
"Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup;
you make my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance."
-Psalm 16:5-6
This verse has been on my heart recently. I have found comfort through it! I would say that my life has completely been turned upside down this week. God can and does come out of no where when your least expecting it to turn you in the complete opposite direction. The message I listened to at Millbrook Baptist yesterday was a new series on prayer. The pastor said, "There are 4 types of answers to prayers: yes; yes, but not right now; no; or I have something better in store for you." Sitting through that message yesterday, I realized God had answered one of my prayers, but not in the way I was expecting. Our prayers and cries of our hearts are never forgotten by God. God has proved to me over and over again the past few days that through Him, I have a delightful inheritance, that my future IS bright if I rely on Him daily, that I don't have to let the fears of my past hold me in bondage. I can't say I'm not scared, but I am ready!
