Well it's been quite awhile since I've written in my blog. The Lord has done so many wonderful and amazingly beautiful new things in my life over the past few months!! I stand in awe of His awesome presence! Even though I have had to endure some personal trials in my life.....I have felt as though I have been on the mountain top for quite sometime. One may wonder how a person can be both in the valley and on the mountain top all at the same time? I never thought this possible until now! I have learned in my 20+ years of walking closely with Jesus Christ a whole lot of things.....
1 Peter 1:6-8
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory~
It is possible to be in both places at the exact time if we just turn our eyes toward Jesus and keep our minds filled with His word and our hearts filled with a song of worship unto Him!!! I notice in my life that when I get overwhelmed, etc...that I have briefly taken my eyes off of the lover of my soul...my Savior, my bestfriend! He is always there waiting....just waiting for us to come to Him.....in our busy world of confusion and chaos. Even though I have faced various trials.....I have learned and am reminded daily to keep my eyes turned to the one true giver of life.....my best friend, Jesus Christ.
