Before the earth wakes and life is thrusted upon you. It is in those first moments of the day when you can feel that quiet peace. On the days that I wake up and have the Lord as my first thought, nothing can overcome me. When I jump head first into the world without Him, I am lost. How different it is now. With the Lord as my focus and his word to sustain me, I am whole. Before I reaffirmed my faith in Christ I felt so empty. All my mistakes seemed to weigh me down. Now there is nothing to be held over me. I have been washed by His blood and my heart is filled with the Holy Spirit. I have found a peace that can carry me through the trials. His grace is what delivered me from the depths. To Him I owe everything.

Thank you for your encouragment on my blog. I have found writing & journaling to be very therapeutical. It helps me oganize and make sense of what the Holy Spirit has already imparted upon my heart. I think we have much more helpful knowledge in our minds than we think we do. Writing and meditating helps us to mine it out. You have a very nice style of writing. In fact I think I am going to go back and read it again. ;)

Thanks again!

I found your blog through reading my friend Jeremy's posting. I am excited to find another believer not afraid to speak of the glories of our God! If it wasn't for God's grace, I would not be where I am in my life either. He works all things together for His good, even the trials and tribulations that we have endured.
I agree, you have a nice style of writing. I am an aspiring writer. I believe it is one of the gifts that the Lord would have me pursue.
Keep writing. These are good insights.
