Letting go of me and letting God be God

I haven't blogged in awhile. Mostly because I am exhausted when I get home after attending all the fall festivities. Wow, who knew there was so many harvest festivals to attend? On top of all that I had a very sick little boy who is a lot better now! I know that most of you who have kids or have had little ones know how busy it gets when you have kids in school and Girl Scouts and having to attend all their little functions so I will not go into long details about my busy last month. But I will tell you that through all this craziness I have leaned more on God than I ever have. I have felt his presence especially during my most stressful days. I have some of the best ladies who are covering me in prayer and believe me I feel them. It is so wonderful to know that your not in this crazy, stressful world alone. My friend Brandi gave me a book called "Jesus calling" and I have read it every morning. Each day it gives me the peace I need in knowing that God is with me every step of the way and I just have to trust in him and come to him for help. So many people think that they can fix their problems or deal with their stress on their own. God wants us to come to him and he wants us to do so persistently. This is how he works. We have to learn to let God work in our lives and stop trying to make our lives work for us. I have been thrown major curve balls this last month from emotional melt downs to spiritual warfare. But through it all I won. God won. He showed me that leaning on him to light the way makes me become less of me and more of him. His name shall be exalted above all! When I let go and lay all my burdens down he picks them up with one pinky and says this heavy weight you've been carrying is as light as a feather for me. Praise him! God makes all things good for those who love him. (Romans 8:28)
