One of those days

It's just been one of "those" days, or actually couple of days. Do you know what I'm talking about? The kind where you're just "blue" and you don't really know why?

I know that part of it for me is the weather. It has just been dreary and rainy and cold for the past couple of days. Sunshine, come out come out wherever you are, please!

Also, our ladies Bible study ended last night and I'm pretty bummed about that. I have so enjoyed spending the last seven weeks with these precious ladies as we have journeyed through the Psalms of Ascent-Stepping Up Bible Study.


In God Calling yesterday, it said what I'm feeling perfectly: "You will find such Joy as the time goes on in speaking to each other of Me, and together climbing higher."

It has been an awesome time of "going up" in our relationships with the Lord. And we have grown closer together as pilgrims on this journey of life. The Lord has united us and strengthened our bond as sisters in Christ. We have shared our hearts, our hurts, our needs, and prayed for each other week by week. I am so thankful for these ladies who have been my encourager's and loved me deeply.

And now, I am challenged to keep it up! I don't want this passionate pursuit to end! I want to worship my Savior with all that is in me, because He alone is worthy of my praise, my life, my song. I want to continue falling on my face before my Lord and digging in His Word. I don't want to eat the seed, but I want to sow it and see the fruit in my life as a result. I have sown many tears and I am waiting with joyous anticipation for the harvest!

God, I am ready for whatever You have in store for me. Help me to surrender everything to You to make room to receive what You want to give. You are infinitely faithful!

I pray these same things for all of you, my sisters in Christ and fellow pilgrims. May we all continue "to go up" with our Jesus. May we be truer worshipers, truer lovers, truer servers, truer seekers, and truer confessors. When we bless God, He can't help but bless us in return. Believe that!

"For my determined purpose is that I may know Him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly." Philippians 3:10
