ABIDE.

     Today.... The day before Thanksgiving. I feel like I should be so happy and so thankful, but its completely the opposite. I couldn't sleep last night because my mouth is still recovering from the surgery I had last week. I woke up today just tired, annoyed, and frustrated. I literally just sat on the floor of my living room and started crying.....I don't even know why!! As I sat there crying over nothing I realized I was just crying to myself. Crying because I wanted to I guess. I wasn't sitting there talking to God about why I was upset, I was simply sitting there feeling sorry for myself. 

 I decided to go running, thats always a good way to let off some steam. While I was running I caught myself just asking God for things, I kept asking and asking.... Then I stopped running. Why was I asking for so much? God has given me so much already. He has blessed me incredibly. He has done miracles in my life. I started running again and started thanking God for everything He has blessed me with until I was done running. Just getting to praise and rejoice to God for saving ME! 

God's little reminder yesterday :)

God is ready to redefine us if we let Him. HE wants to comfort us, encourage us, and challenge us. Our King restores us daily if we stop, listen, and be still. So many times I am so concerned with myself, with my problems that I don't take the time to just rest in God's presence and listen to what He is trying to say to me. He doesn't want us to just be on the go all the time, running around, sometimes we need to let go and let GOD. Just stop and be. 

Father, THANK YOU for the amount of power that is in Your name!
