Part 1: Spiritual Growth
If you had told me 25 years ago when I stepped out in Faith believing God would direct my life that one day I would be glad about it, I would have laughed at you because I didn’t fully understand what God’s leadership looked like. The only thing I wanted then was relief from the discouragement and turmoil that was part of my everyday existence. I didn’t know what all God could do to help me but I was hoping He could do something.
As a result, 25 years later I’m here to tell you that God did more than I could have ever asked Him to do. Not only do I have confidence in who I am, I’m able to help others see and experience confidence in their own lives. I may not know each of you that have read my words, but I know the words that I’ve written have impacted your life in some way. Motivated you to seek God’s will for your life and prepared you to Enjoy the Journey set before you.
The one thing I want you to know about Spiritual Growth is that it’s more than just reading your bible. It’s about dying to self. It’s asking God to help you through the process and not give up hope when helping others who don’t want or know how to receive help. It’s believing God to know that we all go through something whether we want to admit it or not; that’s why we should pray for each other. It’s realizing that even though I’ve come this far, there’s still room for growth.
Yes, my Spiritual Growth has led to the building of my personal relationship with God. In the beginning (the title of one of my first posts 😉), I wanted Him to help me get a man because the man I thought I had turned into the reason for me starting this Blog. Over the years as God has shown me Me, I’ve learned a lot about Him: His Love, His Grace and His Faithfulness. I’ve learned who He is to me and every day I wake up, I’m excited to Enjoy the Journey because I know He’s right there with me... every step of the way.
