Getting closer to God

Last night Andy and I had the opportunity to go to a Kutless and Newsboys concert. A couple from our church got us the tickets as a Christmas present. I have to admit that when last night came, I wasn't "up" to a concert. We had a long week and it was just another night to be away. Plus I knew I would be missing our little man, who was having a blast with Nana. (Thanks for spending the night Nana and caring so much for Isaiah). God knew exactly what I needed and I have to say I was truly blessed by this concert.

I was ecstatic about seeing Kutless, one of my favorite bands and not as excited about Newsboys. But it was Newsboys who ended up blessing my heart the most. They talked about when our faith withers and I had to admit to myself and God that my faith had been withering, especially this past week. I felt so far from God and I was brought into His awesome presence. I was created for a great purpose and God knows exactly what that is. I have to seek Him and search , because it is only in Him that I have a purpose. Of course I was reminded of Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. To give you a hope and a future." As long as I fulfill God's purpose for my life, I can impact others for Him. I pray that I am a light to those who are in darkness and that I never listen to the lies of Satan saying I am worth nothing.

I officially resigned from my job this past week, which was a long coming decision and not an easy one to make. But I know that it was the right choice to make. I think that I spent too many years thinking who I was as a person was being a paramedic. God blessed me with that talent that I will never forget, but that is not who I am. I am a child of God, a wife and ministry partner and a mother. I want to have a love for God and life that Isaiah finds infectious and wants to pass on to others.

My prayer for you is that you will find your great purpose in God and that He will bless you for following Him, even when your faith withers.
