Walking with God and following his lead in all things

Selling the house, finding a house that fits our family and budget,homeschooling,keeping up with our commitments, and making time for family and friends.

All of this can bring stress, anxiety and worries into ones life and yet all comes down to giving it to God.

Learning about wisdom in Sunday School and how to live for God at church has helped me to see things differently. For sure it has allowed me to remember when I first got saved in 1998 when I found my savior and I ran into his arms and all my worries had hope and peace came into my life.
Not that walking with God means no trials but all has a purpose and you know he is with you and in all things.

Meditating on these truth is the only way to live and have peace in our lives.

This past week was one of many choices and change to come. Jose and I decided to put our home for sale and we found a new one. We have been praying and seeking for the Lords will in our life and that takes lots of time in prayer and in the word. I am falling in LOVE with my Lord all over again as I meditate in his word and our relationship gets stronger. I am not sure what is to come but one thing is that in his hands I am safe.

This weekend the program that I purchased to help me schedule school and keep our grades has not worked well and instead increased the stress level in my life. This morning I had a moment and then a voice reminded me that he is in all things and even in scheduling school this school year. I am so thankful the Lord is in all things.... he is right by me and if I pray and ask for wisdom, direction and knowledge he will give it to me.

I have to confess that I am still trying to figure out the scheduling issue but I have a peace that passing understanding in knowing that God will guide my steps and help me get this all together.

Selling the house is one of those things that bring lots of stress to the family due to keeping the house neat and clean at all times and still living in our home. This is going to stretch our family but we know that God uses all for his glory so this is something that will grows us.

Finding a house is as well one of those things that you just want to make sure you are seeking God. Is this where the Lord wants your family to be. The city, the subdivision, the house, the land and yet you need to give it to God and let him do his will. So that is what we have done. We found a home and we are negotiating the price and asking God to do his will.

School- well with all the family in town and the unexpected things in our lives school has come to a stop and we are trying to reschedule all our year and then the system that I purchased is not easy to use and I have to start all over.

What is God teaching me? To stop and pray ...pray...pray and pray some more. In order to hear Gods voice you need to shut down all the rest and my spirit needs to rest in the Lord.

How do I do this? Going back in his word and meditating on his truths and promises.

Then only then, the peace that surpasses understanding comes pouring into my life.

Isaiah 41:10
Do not fear, for I am with you: Do not anxiously look about you , for I am your God.
I will strengthen you , surely I will help you.
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Praise the Lord for his word that counsel my heart daily!

Blessed Much,
