Quote for the Day

"All excess is rooted in emptiness." Unknown

God is Good

Boy, the Lord has been really working on us lately. And I want to tell you that when you seek Him, he WILL show up. I was recently in a place of soul searching and "restlessness" with some issues in my life (mainly contentment in all areas) and I just got on my knees and said "Lord, show me. I want to know you. I want direction". Well, he has showed it to me alright.

He has also shown me areas of my life that have to be given over to him and he has also brought to my attention the areas of my life where I rebel against him and that the things I am unhappy with are mostly results of bad choices made outside of His will. But, he has also showed me that my life can be renewed and the past thrown into the sea of forgiveness.

He has brought me through the fire recently and refined me in ways that I am going to try to share within the next week or so. Those who know me know that I have made some VERY poor decisions out of a purely rebellious spirit and that I turned my back on the Lord during different periods of my life (high school, college, and also about 3 years ago). But the Lord drew me back to Him every time and He shows up every time I seek Him in my life. He is faithful. I can testify to that. Anways, sorry for the ramblings - just on my heart today.

Pray for Chris as he leaves for Walk to Emmaus today. Love to all - Melissa
