walking with God has to be the most exciting experience I have ever EXPERIENCED in my life! you never know where God will lead you...especially when it deals with His will for one's life. one thing is for sure...you gotta love God to truly walk with Him. i love God with all of my heart, but that doesn't mean that i've never had to run through any valleys in my life. i've learned that it is not when a Christian is on the mountain peaks with God that his/her character is molded...but it is when a Christian is experiencing his/her valleys.
i've gone through valleys in my life, whether it dealt with my parents, school, moving around, or my sin and rebellion against God...yes, i've gone through it all. God doesn't count how many times you've fallen, but how many times you've gotten up and called upon His name! isn't our God so great! praise be to God i am where i am right now, not because of me...but because of Him! the ONE TRUE GOD who gave me life and my salvation!
i am forever thankful to Him for his faithfulness and the times that i've been "subpar"...praise be to Him who will always be there for me when no one else is around to listen. i am just so excited with my walk with God because i really have no idea where i'm going next...except to wait on Him and see that "His ways and will are good, pleasing, and perfect!" Romans 12:2
i remember the sermon this past sunday...pastor preached on our covenants with God and how we should honor our promises/covenants...i made a covenant to the Lord that I will NEVER give up on this race...no matter how hard or how many times i've fallen...i will run this race to the end! Glory to God!
