I think as I'm detoxing my body and cleasing face, hair et al...I should extend to other areas where I put my energy. I tend to over commit myself, and it's not out of duty but out of a large interest span...But my focus is to attain a clutter free spiritual, physical, relational, emotional, and financial life...Balance, peace, and contentment always in all situations.This message really hit home yesterday and has bled into today. How can God get through to me if I'm distracted by a million and one things. I tell myself I'd get restless if I'm not involved in a new project, but maybe God's telling me to slow down...so it ties into my prayer for a Mary annointing, because He knows I have been exercising the Martha annointing full well. Got that down pack...but to exercise grace, wisdom, discernment, I need to take a step back.
So I woke up this morning and decided to fast for lunch, just to refocus and also because last night I revisited a desire to join the Peace Corps (5yrs contemplating)...Since I got waitlisted for medical school and my passion to live a life of service particularly to the underserved is ever growing...I came back again. I'm lifting this in prayer to God for His feedback and guidance today. I'm presenting it to Him for His say because I dont want to act independently of His will for my life...Phillipians 2:13. And I want my life to be an ongoing Fellowship with God, not just when coming to Him when I need help, but trusting Him to make the big and little decisions in my life. And thereby Jeremiah 29:11 will always come to pass in all situations. God gave me 2 scripture references that I'm holding unto and matching everything to:
Hebrews 10:11 "God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect."....Notice "they" which leads me to believe in more than one plan for my life...Isaiah 42:16. Though I may not be able to see the outcome or know my way, He has promised me never to forsake me and to lead me. He promised me a clear path...as long as 1) I continue on it and 2) I trust Him...
Dear Heavenly Father, I praise You for life. I thank You for health. I thank You for love and my daily portion. I thank You for being right here with me and knowing everything about me. There's nothing that I can hide from you, only myself. Thank You even when I do stupid things, or act foolishly...You love me nonetheless...When I'm not exactly beaming with joy, or jumping to be of service to another...You convict me in Love always. I thank You for being the one and only constancy in this ever fluctuating world. As I grow-up in You, strengthen me to be the woman You have called me to be. Develop a godly character in me. I pray for grace to overcome every situation, being Content as Paul was before he declared that He can do anything through Christ, which strengthens Him. My desire is to please You Lord, show me how I can do that for You. How I can be of service to You. As I look unto medical school and the road thus far, I thank You for being right by my side. I want to walk with You in Spirit & in Truth. I lift up the Peace Corps to You and seek Your heart. Knowing full well that I will see Your goodness in the land of living. Even if You say "No" God, I still and will always choose You. For all You've done, are doing, and going to do in and through me...Thank You. In Jesus's name. Amen.
