Praise the Lord, everybody!!!!!
I thank the Lord for just continuing to encourage my heart despite the things I've been experiencing & worrying about (grad school, work, personal life, His will/my future, low self esteem, etc.). I've been struggling with finding my self and purpose while trying to hold things down in my life. Just when it became too much, I decided to turn to God. I have been praying with a prayer partner three times per week, which has encouraged me to connect to God in a more personal, profound way and I've been reading a great devotional in the meantime. It has been encouraging me to remember that we are not fighting flesh and blood, but that we are more than conquerors through Him. We can call on the name of the Lord, sing and meditate on Him and speak the Word on God (Jesus) in every situation, which has given me much peace & hope.
And (sorry for the long post--He is sooo good!!!!), I had my final performance plan review with my employer today and all this time I'm thinking I'm not where I want to be and my productivity is slipping because I'm unsure of myself at times--low and behold--I was blessed with an exceptional rating along with a performance award and a promotion!!!!!! My employer has been very pleased with my work, but I was thinking otherwise.
THANK YOU JESUS---YOU knew what was around the bend and yet even before all of that You spoke to and encouraged my heart when I needed it the most by reminding me of Your love, help and protection over me.
Please continue to keep us in Your presence and encourage the women represented here--bless them, Lord and may Your name be continually praised!!!!!
Be encouraged ladies!!! He loves you all!!!!!
