I wasn't going to send anything out today...mostly b/c I'm struggling w/ God wanting to show forgiveness or compassion to me. Have you ever felt like you've just stepped in a big ol' pile of YUCK & how could or why would God want to be near you?? I'm kinda there...my actions & my thoughts are not where they need to be--not where they've ever been. So anyway I thought, "I'm just gonna lay low. I'm going to pray & read my bible & just let God do what I know He will!!" He doesn't want me like this, I fully know that!! I was writing in my journal & here is what was on the top of the 2 pages I was writing on... "God knows your value; He sees your potential. You may not understand everything you are going through right now. But hold your head up high, knowing that God is in control & He has a great plan & purpose for your life." Galatians 1:15 (NCV)- God has special plans for me & set me apart for his work...He called me through his grace. After reading that I thought, "okay--I've stumbled, fell, & crawled, but Gods not done w/ me!!! He's not turning away. His mercy is endless & His grace is enough!!" So it's a new day of a new week & I'm ready to go wherever He leads!! Hope you all have a great Monday!!!
