Change is in the air

You know when you feel like everything is going the way that it is supposed to be going and then WHAM! you get spun around and suddenly your directional compass has shifted?  That's what has been happening to me recently.  I need some stability!!!  AARGH!  It's funny not funny haha, but more peculiar how easily we can get misdirected and thrown off course by Satan.   It's so important for us to maintain our direction with God's compass for our life.  How do we accomplish this?  By getting into the word daily! By living God's love every single minute of every single day.

Whenever that overwhelming feeling of chaos strikes, I find that it is so incredibly helpful to take time, get away and recenter myself.  Remembering Romans 8:28 - "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose." 

Mom always said, "This too shall pass".  We will get through whatever it is that we are going through, one way or another.  An example of this is Shadrack, Meshak and Abednigo and the firey furnace -  God didn't spare them from the furnace,  they survived the furnace - but they had to go through the furnace.  A refining process is happening. 

My prayer is that I learn quickly through the times of refining, so I don't have to stay too long in the fire!!

Have a blessed day!
