will renew their strength
.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:10
There was a time when I didn't put all my hope and trust into the Lord. In fact I did knew him, but I did not know of him. I was living my life for myself and when a crisis came I would fall apart, because I did not have God in my life to help carry me through the tough times. I was working non stop to succeed in a career that would benefit my family.What I found out by not being there for my kids I was losing them. I was not being the mom God called me to be. They say that in a blink of an eye a person can lose everything. That is what happened to me. One day I was on top of the world and then by the evening of that day I had lost everything except my kids. I still had my job, but I quickly found out that my kids were more important. It was the beginning of a journey for me that I had no idea how it was going to end. Then God stepped in and made a way for me to get to know him better. A close friend introduced me to something wonderful. This wonderful thing had a name, Jesus. Jesus gave my life back to me, but in a way I had never lived it before. A life filled with a sense of purpose, a life filled with a desire to be the best mom I could be, and a life filled with hope. I can remember one morning I got up to spend time in his word and in prayer. I went into the kitchen to make some coffee. As I reached my hand towards the cupboard to get the coffee down. A still small voice spoke to me, "I will be your coffee". I paused and reached my hand towards the coffee again, then the voice repeated itself, "I will be your coffee". When I realized what was happening I turned around and went into the living room picked up my bible and sat down. I can honestly say the time I spent with the Lord that day is probably one of the best. I didn't make coffee on that day nor did I stop and get some on the way to work. Jesus had filled me with such love and peace I didn't need my daily coffee. I had an energetic faith filled day and I was thankful that Jesus loved me enough to show me his strength that he had for me. I still have my struggles to get up for prayer and devotions, but I know with God's strength it can happen. God is waiting to do the same for you all you need to do is ask.
