Everything is possible with Christ. I have come to live by that faith now. I see living and walking testimonies everyday of my life - proof that God is so alive and real in the world.
It warms my heart to know that people are still praying for me to healed of Lupus, but what brings me evenmore joy is the fact that my infirmities have become of so little significance now. Just by choosing to walk this spiritual journey with Jesus has brought me such an amazing peace -- a kind of peace that could have fooled me into believing I am also physically healed. Hey, I can deal with that! :) I want to thank my entire family in Christ for keeping the faith alive for me. They are truly God-sent.
Of course, we will never be perfect, and the current issue I'm dealing with is trusting God COMPLETELY with my plans. Not just one or two plans, but EVERY plan. As an overly-organized person, I find myself planning every hour and every day of my life, even months in advance because I'm so fearful of missing a beat and falling behind. Sometimes I get so engulfed with my future and career plans, that I fail to realize that God always has bigger and better plans for us, and the ONLY way He can reveal those plans to us is only if we LET Him. That's the key. Oftentimes, I find myself falling behind asking God why didn't He save me from a failing grade or a missed deadline... and then I realize, well, that's because I took everything into my own hands, without allowing Him to do "His thing." We have to give Him His own space and stop shoving Him into a box, only allowing Him to do what WE want Him to do. It doesn't work that way, that's for sure. So thank you, Lord. Thank you for blessing me more than I deserve and more than I could ever ask for. I pray that I will always remember WHO you are -- my Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who always PROVIDES.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
- Jeremiah 29:11
