Out in the wilderness
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2016 8:42 am
I do not belong to any church, clan, group, or organization. Everything I do and learn is on my own in the wilderness as The Lord leads me. I have no one to rely on but Him, and have learned that he sends help in sometimes the most unexpected ways. I found TPOT back in November 2015. Everything on the website spoke truth to me. When I wrote Victor and Paul, I was stumbled, though. I don't pretend to have heard God speak to me or have the gifts of the spirit. No matter how badly I have wanted it, it hasn't been given me yet. Victor told me I needed to be sure what I was doing with my daily activities was from The Lord, but I have no such certainty.
All I know is that He has brough me to the point in my life where I don't make plans of my own, I don't count on any promises made by men, and I don't have any interest in what the world says I should. I am thirsty for truth, and He has been pouring me an overflowing cup. At times it is painful, but I accept it and am so thankful!
I am still trying to learn how to get through each day with 6 children and their many constant needs. We have nothing besides what the Lord provides. I don't even ask most of the time. I find I need something, shrug about it and wait. Either I discover I don't need it after all, or it is somehow provided!
I have too many failings to count, and it's hard for me to believe God is truly working with me, but I can't deny His beautiful Grace at work in my life in spite of me. He is so wonderfully good!
