Journey to JESUS

That is the title I like to write on my journals. Life is a journey, with many bumps, turns and twist along the way. One minute you can be traveling as you keep a steady pace, then all of a sudden you find yourself hitting the brakes! I love my life - I love it when everything is working together, yes, for MY good! But, on this journey to JESUS; He is teaching me that it is not the mountain top that I should desire in my life. It is the valley. You may ask "Why in the world would you want to be in the valley?" I have to admit I've ask myself and God that same question.

For years, I've struggled through the valley - noticed I said "through" - getting on the other side of a valley is victorious! That means you have climbed the mountain and made progress. I have learned so many things through the valley of life. One thing is I will not die there - Jesus walks with me and tells me things in the valley that I will never hear on the mountain top. Secondly, growth is a sure thing in the valley. Have you ever noticed that gardens are planted in the "bottoms" (termed used by my grandfather for his garden). Good things are grown and produced in the valley. Philippians 1:6 (NLT) ⁶ And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
Traveling through on this Journey to JESUS - let's sum it up. One day you may run with leaps and bounds, while other days maybe a crawl. Just always keep pressing through the mess - keep a forward moving motion.

I believe with all my heart that God wants to show us that HE is in control. Praise the LORD if you find yourself in a position of total dependency on GOD. That is what HE wants - if we could handle "it" all, we would not need him to be GOD, King of Kings over our lives. Let Go and Let GOD be GOD!! There is Victory in your Valley!! Hallelujah~

Don't set the cruise control - set the Christ control!!

I want to encourage you to journal about your journey to JESUS. Write it all down,,,the good, bad, ugly, happy or sad - then you can reflect on how God was faithful through it all - you learned to trust God - through it all!

GOD will show himself faithful~
