Reaching For You.

i was reading Psalms 126 to 130 this morning and Psalms 126: 1,2 says "When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy." and that's how i feel ever since i came back from sydney. it's like i've been set free from all the wearies of the world. all that matters is God and God alone and i can't stop praising Him. :)

it's so hard to remain happy all the time, however. problems try to bring you down and a lot of times i wonder if that's a challenge for me or if it's the enemy trying to bring me down. it's so hard to differentiate between the two sometimes. but if it's the latter, i'm really glad because it means that i'm doing things that God wants me to do correctly till the devil has to bring me down. :) it's at times like this when i'm starting to feel low that i've got to learn to live a lifestyle of resistance. i've got to learn how to smile and drive the old devil crazy so that he will flee (James 4:7). a spirit of thankfulness and a spirit of gladness do wonders for the human heart. when you're starting to feel disheartened, smile and think of all the awesome things that God has done for you and give thanks to Him.

as i continue to read Bobbie Houston's book, it's amazing to see what God has done in her life. she encourages women that we have to be women of strong conviction. we have to discover our purpose and understand whatever it is, it is all worthy. "And there is no one as worthy as you to fill that position. No one can be mum to your child quite like you can. No one can stand beside and complete your husband like you. No one in the Body of Christ can fill your individually designed position as perfectly as you. And when you understand the power of this, you feel complete in yourself and find yourself complementing the Big Picture as well." a woman of strong conviction will pursue an understanding of this truth and once she understands and recognises it, she will not allow anything to steal her passion. so whatever you find yourself involved in, believe with every fibre of your being that God has called you to a most excellent, most exciting and most worthy cause!
