TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG

I haven't blogged for a while and I have been asking myself why.
I think it's mainly that I prefer to blog when things are going well and I have good things to share - when life gets tough and I am confused about what God is doing I just don't feel like blogging - BUT THAT'S NOT VERY HONEST!
If King David had been like me most of the Psalms would never have been written!
I read today in my time with God - speaking about Israel's struggle to get into Canaan - that 'you cannot enjoy what you do not posess'. That was a challenge.
Right now I feel overwhelmed and defeated with the problems and impossibilities of my situation - spiritually - financially - emotionally - everthing.
Yesterday I took Mo to a lovely local Care Home for three nights of respite care and I feel terrible - even although I know I need the break and I know she enjoys it there. Getting into an empty bed last night was really really tough.
Like many of you I am looking for major breakthroughs on just about every front.
So was Joshua when he stood on the banks of the Jordan river in full flood looking over into the impossibly distant 'promised land'.
It was in that very moment that God said to him "Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. GOD, your God, is with you every step you take.” Joshua 1:9 The Message
WOW! - SO here we are again Lord - BY FAITH Mo WILL be healed - we WILL get to Freetown in May - the money WILL come for the whole team - the nation of Sierra Leone WILL be impacted - people WILL be healed - souls WILL be saved - Jesus WILL be lifted up
WE WILL POSESS AND ENJOY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR US!!!!!
