Moving forward...a daily choice

I face it every morning. Some days, the choice is easy to make and the past seems to have lost its power over me. Other days, the battle is greater, the past is more present and the walk is much slower, but He remains faithful. He reminds me that He makes all things new.
Nothing better than holding on to His promises, relying on His strength, trusting in His plan, resting in His peace and dwelling in His love to help you to keep moving...


I'm not going back
I'm moving ahead
I'm here to declare to you
my past in over
In you
All things are made new
Surrender my life to Christ
I'm moving, moving forward

Content

Can't believe it, but this coming Saturday will be one year since I moved to LA. The crazy thing is not the twelve months that have gone by so quickly, but the amazing things that God has done in those twelve months, proving that our obedience to His voice is always the right choice.

James 1:3-4
"For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing"

When the word of God states "perfect and complete, needing nothing" it's referring to more than just material things. I believe it refers to a level of fulfillment and contentment that goes beyond the circumstances we might be facing. I believe and have experienced that the only way to find complete fulfillment, the only way to get to a place of contentment is surrendering my life to God's purpose and living entirely in His will. Whatever that takes, it's worth it.

There are many things I want and deeply desire, but my heart is content even without them. What a great place to be...He leads, I follow.
