Roller Coaster Ride

Guess God has been working overtime to teach me alot of things recently. I have been on a roller coaster ride, both physically and spiritually as I seek to walk closer to God. When God reminded me of the story of Paul serving the community that he was passing by gathering firewood for them even when he was a prisoner (*ie with a ball and chain on his ankles), I knew that I was in for something. And true enough there are alot of storms gng around my life now as I seek to walk closer to God. Then God reminded me about the scripture of Him telling the apostle Peter that we are supposed to forgive anyone who sins against us seventy times seven. Meaning I had to get rid of any unforgiveness in my heart towards anybody and continue to serve them even when my flesh is unwilling to do so. For to be first in the kingdom of God you have to be the very last and a servant to all. Over this period of time

I have also realised that the bible is full of promises that we can grab hold of. It is just waiting to be used only. I know that God has planned for an abundant and fulfilling life here on earth when Jesus came down to earth to bring salvation to all. So I would continue to brace myself for the storms to come and be strong in the Lords. Thanks to C for being supportive to me during this period of time when I am facing troubles from all angles. Really appreciate your care and concern and your understanding even when I sometimes step on your toes.
