Thank you for continuing to follow my blogs, even in the midst of changes and transition.
I have officially moved to Miami, Florida, 3 days ago. I was so confident when I left Gainesville, and excited for the new things that are in store for me. Once I got here though, those feelings changed. I was faced with reality….no community, no friends, no church, no job, and no car to explore around and meet new people. God is really going to have to intervene here. How am I supposed to get plugged in to a community of believers and new friends, if I can’t even leave the house?
I started the Daniel Fast, on February 4th. It has been really good so far. I am hoping that once this fast is over, in 18 more days, then I will have some kind of breakthrough. I am doing the fast for several reasons.
- To cleanse myself from my horrible eating habits in Georgia.
- I really felt the Lord pressing it on my heart to do this fast.
- Hoping this will help me keep my eyes on the Lord, in a time when it seems really easy to give up.
I have been reading in the book of Hebrews.
1-3For as long, then, as that promise of resting in him pulls us on to God’s goal for us, we need to be careful that we’re not disqualified. We received the same promises as those people in the wilderness, but the promises didn’t do them a bit of good because they didn’t receive the promises with faith. If we believe, though, we’ll experience that state of resting.
I need to rest in my Father, by leaving what is behind and what is to come in His hands. If I fully trust Him, then I am able to rest in Him. I can be confident that He will be the one to pull down the walls and open the doors in my path.
