It has been a giving experience for me. Giving up my choice to run, was my real first # yestoGod moment. The second was taking steps to keep on when fear was breathing down my neck telling me God will expect too much. As I kept taking steps and asking fellow online study mates to pray I was finally able to open my palms up and say yes I am opening them to you Lord.
Now here I am at the end just a day away from the finish and I am sensing peace and rest in believing that God is not out to drown me in the saying yes to Him , he is out to love me on me big time. I am not with out the knowledge that it is a hard work at times but I also know that when you get to the mountain tops the view is well worth the effort, especially since I did not travel alone.Lysa Terkeurst says in this book that God has so much more for you than just a good life. He wants you to be free- completely free of anything that might hold you back from the things He has for you. He doesn't want you to miss one single blessing of a God- focused life.
Life Is for living and I want to live it!!!
Psalm 86:11
Teach me your ways, O Lord , that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you.
A Heart at Rest
Liz thank you for sharing how your heart is at rest. Mine too and I had to blog about that this week also. So glad you are here. These studies are life changing aren't they. For me, no turning back. I came on board over a year ago and life has never been the same and they helped me through a very rough year this year. Debbie W. (OBS Facebook Group Leader)
