A Moment in Time
About 7 years ago I said a prayer to God. This was not my first prayer to God and it sure will not be my last. This was a special prayer because it is a prayer from a mother for her child. As mothers, I believe we have this ingrained instinct in us to do what it takes to protect our children. I came to a point in time, 7 years ago, where I ran out of resources (my resources) and I turned to God to help my child. I prayed for my child’s heart, soul and to build a strong loving relationship with God.
Have you experienced a point in time that started a spiritual journey with God? During this journey do or did you go through doubts, challenges, sadness, sorrow, confusion, looking for understanding and a purpose? The prayer for my child began my spiritual journey.
It wasn’t until I made the decision to not be made at God and stop ignoring him that I started to get some understanding of how God was reaching out to me. I have been enlightened after reading the July 28th reading in Oswald Chambers “My Utmost for His Highest”! I discovered that my purpose was not God’s purpose. God’s goal is the journey I take with my walk with him. It is that every moment that I chose to glorify God with my actions and my thoughts. The journey is the process. The process is building my character, my faith and it is training me to be righteous.
As I look back in time, I would not change this journey given to me.
Desiree -
The power of the journey!! God’s interest always seems to remain with our process and not so much on the end result. I, on the other hand, want the short cut to the end. (sigh) Thanks for your good words. Thanks for sharing a part of your journey, and for being a part of the journey with us at CCC.
Blessings!

Desiree: Thanks for your words…so true, and yet so difficult to remember and live in at times. At the point that I want to take the wheel and do it my way…and I could come up with a # of reasons why…is the very point that I need to listening to God the closest as to what He’s been trying to tell me…probably for some time. That’s not to say that I can’t and shouldn’t listen to God ALL the time…not at all, but like you shared about your journey, it’s in those times that I can put a post in the ground, so to speak, to powerfully remember God’s provision, His strength, His wisdom. Thanks again for your words today…God used them in my life. And by the way, God has gifted you as a great, clear writer. I look forward to reading/hearing more from you and what God has done and said to you along your journey. Take care, Doug
Desiree: Looking forward to meeting and getting to know you at Church, now that I’ve seen your heart! How precious is your story. It is amazing how the Lord introduces us to each other, isn’t it? See you on Sunday, hopefully!! Caroline
