Sierra's Post #2

God is so amazing. Let's just start there. He is so wonderful and I am not. I am completely inadequate in very way. I have weaknesses and sometimes my life gets messy. Sometimes I drift away from His presence. Sometimes I fall short of the woman I know I could be. But, I am real. So is God's grace and so is His presence. I am so thankful for a God so constant and so unfailing. No matter how much I neglect him he will always be right there waiting for me. He is there even with my hardened heart that refuses to feel Him and let Him in. But, when I fully lay myself at His feet, He comes back and touches my heart again. A break through once more. He takes me deep in love and to all the secret places. That is an irreplaceable feeling and I will never let myself distance myself from God so much again. My spirit can't afford those God withdraws again. I am so excited to see the things God has for me and my life and the ministry I will do. I was reading a fantastic blog that you all should read called www.kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com because it is fully inspirational in every way. But, anyways she wrote something I knew God wanted me to hear and it went like this,
"For each time that I deny God the Glory that is His, for each time I follow my will instead of listening to His, for each time I jump ahead without first consulting my Lord. He asks, " Daughter, do you truly love me?" and I do. "Feed my sheep" and I will. And I do. "Come follow me." and I am, or at least I am trying. I am Peter. I mess up. I make mistakes, I am far from perfect, and God will use me. God will accomplish great things through me. You are Peter. God already knows you will make a mess, but His plan for you is great. Go. Feed His sheep."
So, even though maybe I am not perfect and sometimes I drift. God will use me and God has a great plan. I had been going through a lot of doubt and God showed back up as he always does and told me he has still called me into ministry and that he is ready to pick up where we left off. My God is breathtaking.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 " He has made everything beautiful in it's time. He has set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. "
