God's working on me

[foadle]

Over the few weeks I have been down here God has been doing stuff (obvious like). Anyway over the last week it seems that God is so intent on seeing me grow that nothing else matters. Feel rather special. Until he pinpoints things continually and you're in a meeting and you feel like reminding him that you are not the only person in the meeting. Still I am loving the work he is doing even though it is tough some times.
I am learning to better stand on his word regardless of circumstance and am growing in trust of him. He is so good to me.

I agree, it's very nice to feel the Father's smiles and here His 'atta girl's".
Sounds like you are in a wonderful place now in your relationship with Him.
He must be grooming you for something very special!

 

[Mark2010]

Awesome. Don't let it make you feel guilty, though.

I am pretty sure I know what it is (without many details at this stage). Actaully I had been fighting it for so long say "God you have got the wrong person" and then gradually getting to the point of "God I will follow your lead but I am still not convinced"
Last Sunday He challenged me to whole heartedly embrace it because if I didn't I would still get what He has planned for my life but it would be so weak as to be totally ineffectual and would actaully be the cause of hurt among people not restoration. Now that was a challenge but I came before Him and repented and have now fully accepted his call. Sometimes I need to remind myself several times in a day that I have made that choice but God is gracious.


Mark You are right...actually you don't normally tend to say too much that isn't truth. God bless.

I believe God is doing a work on all of us His people right now, He is preparing you and the rest of us for big things, heralding in those latter day rains being poured out upon the earth in a bigger way.

yep, i remember a time exactly like that. In my case it was to accept care of the people He accepted--all of them just as they were, not just the ones i liked or agreed with, or could get along with. the challenge was to enlarge my vision to match His, and at the same time scale down my importance in it.

and like you said, it all came down to submission.

for you, foadle.

God is so wonderful, foadle..

I had a hard time accepting that He wanted to use me as well.. when He could use anybody..

A lot of the things He has told me in dreams in the past year or so are in my Signature..

He's led me to a lot of books.. because He gave me a love for reading.. Through books He has revealed to me that I had to get rid of my "soul clutter" that I needed to "be" with Him.. not "do.." & that He is too big to be put in any box.. that He's not "safe" but He is so very good.. & also that He loves me just the way I am.. but He loves me too much to leave me that way.. He wants me to be just like Jesus..

It all comes down to surrender.. He is God.. and I am not.. it is His way.. not mine.. His timing.. not mine..

And I thank Him.. Always & forever..

Well on top of all this yesterday I really felt him tell me that I was not to go back to permanent teaching the way I was. That was something I suspected for some time but did not want to admit. As painful as it is to drop it I know that it is the right thing and have known since I left the Isa. Yet, if any of you are like me we hang on to hope sometimes that it is not the case until God states it point blank.
