Peaceful Weekend

3/20/06

Good Morning Everyone,

I pray that your weekend was delightful. I had a very insightful weekend. God removed one more layer of the protection/control blanket I knitted for my self in the many different stages of my life.  In removing this he showed me the root of this layer and why I created and have held on to it for so long. It was very freeing and liberating. However, it is also a bit scary, walking in this vulnerability.

 

Last night a situation presented itself where I wanted to pick the blanket back up, but I didn’t. I got on my knees and I prayed that I keep God on the throne at this time and not try to control the situation. I repented for my thoughts in the situation and asked God to search my heart for any wicked ways and reveal them before me so I can repent and change. I also prayed that God would help me say only what he wanted me to say.  In result of this I was able to bring my thoughts and emotions under the control of the Holy Spirit and the situation did not go where I knew it would have gone if I had not taken the time to pray and allow God to protect me and calm my fears.  

I just wanted to share with you a growth moment for me this weekend. Does anyone else have a growth moment to share?

Be Blessed

Love You All!
