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!

  1. Hey Sweet Girl, I haven't been on Blogger in so long but for some reason I decided to check it out today & your post was one of the first on my dashboard, so I'm taking that as a sign that it's OK for me to comment.
    There's nothing I can say that you haven't heard 100 times before,and from reading your post you obviously have a handle on, and great grasp of "things." You have a good head on your shoulders, a warm, loving and Godly heart, and a God who loves you immensely. With a foundation like that...yes, your future IS bright, (and maybe that trip to Six Flags is right around the corner;)
