The End is Near

Looking back to my grade school years, I can remember how I always thought the school years would never end. As the years went by, the time started to quickly slip away as each year went by faster then the last, and now, here I am, almost at the end of another school year.

It only seems like yesterday that I was moving in, scared to death about what I has gotten myself into and that I was now way out of my comfort zone. These people who I was unsure and scared of are now my friends and family, I have started to grown and matured (I am sure more so next year too) into the Women of God that He has created me to be. Been made aware of my spiritual siftings and learning how to use them.

As this part of this season is drawing to an end, I wonder what God is going to do next, only 4 more months until I come back for my 2nd a finale year here, what more is God going to do in my life, how much more pulling and breaking, molding and refining will I endure? Where is He going to bring me and to do what? Like all of us I plan what I will do, but it is I doing the planning for a life that may look like mine but is not mine to plan for.

This life of mine is Gods. His will not mine. His plans not mine.

The War is on

Oh my gosh, I knew this year was going to be a hard year.... But I just didn’t know how hard it would end up being.
You see, this semester has been one long war with many battles around every corner. **We dare ask God to bring us to new levels and to make us stronger, and then expect it to be an easy ride.**
The recent battles I have been fighting have been the week of fasting and praying for Discovery Days which we held here this past weekend, and then D Days its self and then just before D Days happened my friend emails me… and ya my friend isn’t doing to good in their spiritual walk with God. It hurt so bad to read that email, I wanted to be able to send this super great email that would encourage and help my friend back on the pathway with God... but nothing, I had nothing to say. All I could do was go to my knees and pray and pray... and I’m still praying. And then I find out my cousin is in the hospital waiting for a MRI. I feel like I am just in the middle of one battle, when I get a message to come fright another battle when I am done with the current one.
I need rest and people praying over me after I’ve gone through a battle. It is only by Gods grace and mercy that I am being able to keep on keeping on fighting.
Oh gosh I can’t help but laugh. This year’s theme couldn’t have been any better or truer.
PERSEVERANCE
Keep walking… keep running… keep fighting…
This is what we have all been doing this year.

As for these battles I am fighting, I will keep fighting them, battling in the spiritual realm with all that God has given me. I will not lose hope, I will not lose ground, I will not give up. I will keep keeping on.
