Just Enough Light ...

I'm reading a book called "Just Enough Light for the step I'm on" - by Stormie Omartian. Just what I need right now. Making decisions (and choices) about my life is not something I've ever really been accustomed to - usually situations and opportunities just fall into my lap :) But in this season it seems that I have to be more self-disciplined, and more sensitive to His will, as well as just stepping out in the rivers of life. :)

Had a great talk yesterday with a friend of mine, about angels, and with angels :) and the like (you know me :) ) Anyways, it was very refreshing - and has been one of the tools God has been using to remind me about who I am, and whose I am. I am His, and I choose to walk with Him, and to be fully dependent on Him. - I know that means that I'm probably about to come up against a test, or am on the brink of one.. so I won't remind the enemy too many times ;) haha. But as Omartian writes, I say "Lead me in the path You have for me, Lord. From this day on I want to walk with You. I take this step of faith and I trust You to meet me here. Align my heart with Yours." (p.12)

And it's incredible how God has brought this book, and others, and certain people into my life in this new level season. She quotes Hebrews 11:8 about Abraham "went out not knowing where he was going". And you probably realize that this is 'the faith chapter' - where all the great men of faith are mentioned. I want to be a woman of God who walks by faith, like that.  And I'm in a season where God is requiring it of me .. and I'm not very good at it. So it frustrates me because I know where I want to be at with it all.

Speaking of walking in the light, I have to quote my favorite verse of the last 6 months ...  Proverbs 4:18 - But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Or another translation: The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.




Oh .. just got this in my email, maybe it's for one of you - like it's for me :)
"Worrying people are never successful; when they are successful in anything, it is short lived because the spirit of worry will destroy it. Worry destroys success; people who worry are not successful for long.” – Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD. The Bible says count it all joy when you go through diverse test (James 1:2).


Anyways, blessings to all of you - and we'll talk soon :) May the God of love, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, cover you with His mercy and grace all the days you are walking Him. Stick to His path! it's the only way!! :) bless u.
