Wow! It has been a long while since I written anything. Where do I begin? Well....
Have you ever went through one of those periods where you feel like no one is talking to you? For me, it goes right back to elementary, middle and high school. However, in going through this recently, I got the understanding that God wanted to talk to me. To me, God is like your mom. You know...if you are on the phone with your mom, you HAD BETTER NOT click over to answer another call. To mom, that is HER TIME...God works the same way. When he wants to speak to you, you had BETTER NOT try to occupy your time with anything or anyone else. He will find a way to get your undivided attention. That's kind of what's been going on with me. One day, I was walking along, minding my own business, then I looked up and I realized I was by myself. Of course, instantaneously I began to panic. I mean, I didn't start out walking by myself, so what happened? It wasn't until today that I came to the realization that I wasn't alone, nor was I EVER alone...God had been there the whole time, and He will be there every step of the way.
This was and is of course, a hard lesson to learn. For years, I felt that when I got to this point in my life, that I would be alone. As a result, I made sure that I was the one who left, not the other way around. Then this morning, God spoke the words so clearly and audibly to me. "When are you going to realize that I never left? When are you going to realize that I'm never going to leave? Please rest and find grace in Me, and I will do the rest." Now, I can actually believe the poem, Footsteps. I can believe that He actually carries me through rough times. What a God!
Selah....
