Today’s journey started early.  I was wide awake at 3:25 am and finally I had my body join my mind at 4:00.  I have so many things on my mind that my normal routine for devotions and then writing this blog was totally disrupted.  I was done with my devotions and processing (journaling) all that’s on my mind with God by 5:30 am.  I wanted to get our Christmas cards done so I went to work on them.  They were done and I began to box up books I’m giving away.  I filled two boxes and realized I hadn’t written today’s entry.

I’ve told you before that writing this is not fun when my mind is troubled.  There are several things troubling it too.  Earlier this week I wrote about new memories being given by God’s Holy Spirit when we have deep seated ones from childhood abuse.  I’ve been working through this but I haven’t found peace with it yet.  The upcoming singing engagement at the correction center is troubling me as well as getting things in order for Celebrate Recovery, and lastly, our Aslan Ministry.  Each area is having some stumbling blocks and I’m not sure what to do with them.  I know I must release the idea I am to own all of this.  God wants me to serve Him in these areas obeying His leadership as He sheds light.  I just haven’t been able to find peace with them yet.  I’m praying for me to be sensitive to God’s Holy Spirit knowing what to do and to not do what my old self would–bulldog into it without God’s sensitivity and His Light.

God gives us a new life when we come to Jesus.  My new life is being tempted right now and I sure don’t want to live that old life any longer.  I’m going to wait on God trusting He will do His mighty work in His timing.

OK, now I can go back to packing books to give away.
