Gratitude

I sit in the livingroom right now overflowing with gratitude. It amazes me how the people of God in my life display Jesus!Probably they don't see themselves the way I do. Very godly people. If they did, that would be self righteousness anyways. But the thing is, they don't. What is so amazing is that no matter the season I may be going through, I am always accepted and loved. It has taken me a while to build confidence in that. But I can honestly say that maybe the reason God has allowed certain things in my life to happen so slowly is not only for his Glory and my little test of faith and endurance but also to show me that the people that surround me now are in this for the long haul just like me. God has so taken me and is forming a confident secure woman. Ill probably be saying that until I die but that's okay. That just means that I am always making progress in this world of sin. I will never overcome sin without Gods almighty hand in my life. Wow, if I could see the smile on Gods face right now for what his servants here on earth have done for mine and my children's salvation. So many questions and so much scepticism in the beginning of my journey (on my part and others). People stood in the gap for me. People prayed for me. Prople had faith in God for me. People trusted their Lord. People were obedient no matter how crazy it was. People loved on me when I was so scared. Those same people love me even more today. And I love them much more today as well. So here I sit. Hmmm... How much greater can it get than this Lord. You are an awesome God. Thank you Jesus for ice cream and salvation.
