Last week the ladies and I in our Friday morning Life Group finish the book The Miracle of Life Change by Chip Ingram. It was a very good book. I was challenged to think about things that don't normally cross my mind. My relationship with God is definitely different, in a good way.
Like most followers of Christ I have my good days and my bad days. I have days where I feel really close to God and days where I feel so far away I'm not sure how I'll ever get back. I'm still amazed that no matter how many times I blow it God also takes me back, He longs for me to come back to Him. To find comfort in his arms.
I still get distracted by the "got to do this" and "have to do that". One thing that has helped me to keep things in the right order; God first then everything else, is by staying involved in the Life Group at church. The ladies in my Friday morning group are truly amazing. I've made friends and found mentors. I am developing authentic relationships. I know that I can share with these ladies what is inside my heart and I trust that they will not judge me. They are there to listen, offer advice and help me to listen to God and hear His whispers.
I know that I am still a work in progress. But I also know this; God is always here to help me and guide me along the way.
Until next time ~ Anita
