Thankful

Thanksgiving Day is in a few days and I have mixed emotions tonight. I am thankful for so much for my family, my friends, my salvation, and the life that GOD has given me in which to live. During the last few years, my family has had some difficulties just as many other families have. However, I am reminded again tonight of the LORD has been with us thorough these times better than I can ever explain. We are still in the midst of some issues.. But something that GOD is teaching me and I haven't gotten this truth is to just trust him. Not based on what I feel but simply on who GOD is. I so want to be there but not there right now. Then reading my blog as I type I am reminded how sometimes all I think about is me, me, and me again. Oh that I pray that GOD would change my mindset. Everything is not about me!!
I have thought about the journey that the LORD and I have been on over the last few years and it is simply amazing. I have been places with the LORD and those that I love that I never thought was possible. I am overcome tonight for I am so seeking the LORD in the way that I should go in a certain situation. He hasn't given me clear direction yet but I am determined to keep my eyes on him. Sometimes I have no idea in which to go.. Looking at the big picture sometimes helps but I have determined in my heart to just trust him. Not based upon what I feel or even what I see. I place my total trust in him. He is faithful and he has always met my needs.
So, may this time with our family and loved ones not be about food but being thankful for how blessed we are. Even if things aren't what I want them to be, I will still praise him!

I love music and it speaks of my heart sometimes and may these words minister to you..

You are still by Kari Jobe

Holy.. You are still holy.. Even when the darkness surround my life
Soverign you are still soverign even when confusion has blinded my eyes
Lord I don't deserve your kind affection when my unbelief has kept me from your touch
I want my life to be a pure reflection
of your love...

So I come into your chambers and I dance your feet LORD
You are my Saviour and I'm at your mercy
All that has been in life up to now
It belongs to you..You are still holy

Holy..you are still holy even when I don't understand your ways
Soverign you are still soverign even when my circustance don't change
LORD I don't deserve your tender patience
When my unbelief has kept me from your truth
I want my life to be a pure devotion to you..
