It is Well with My Soul

Hebrews 2:16 - For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.

The past couple weeks have been a doozy! With finals, the spring musical, work and on top of that some personal things I am not to fond of right now. I say "personal" not because it only involves myself, but because the issues are personalized. It has been a struggle to keep my spirit up and motivated at times. I was giving up and giving in until that gave the enemy more motive to take me for what seemed to be all I had left. Thank God for the other day. For blessings and for rejuvenation, for a spirit who has been strengthened to push through the muck and succeed. The above verse is testimony to what this week has been about. Oh that the Lord would take this seed of mine and lend His aid. I'm not making it through everyday on my own, and literally I don't think I would be getting out of bed if not for God. I feel the enemy crawling up to me and today I said no to the evil treatment... no one deserves to suffer like that. I was reminded that "just because we are christians when we are slapped, doesn't mean we have to turn the other cheek and ask to get slapped again." God is doing great things how dare the enemy come and try to attack the movement in my heart, mind and spirit. He has taken my sin and the sin of the enemy that weighs me down to the cross. In rehearsal we were given a few minutes of silence to pray silently and this is one thing I reflected on.

 "Is it any wonder that the weight of all this sin began squeezing the life out of Jesus on the night he was called to bear it?" Matt 26:36-44 - Prayer In The Garden

Brit Coleman was such a blessing today. She came by to borrow a cocktail dress and blessed me so much with her encouragement and verse:

Psalm 143 Psalm of David 

 1 LORD, hear my prayer,
   listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
   come to my relief.
2 Do not bring your servant into judgment,
   for no one living is righteous before you.
3 The enemy pursues me,
   he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in the darkness
   like those long dead.
4 So my spirit grows faint within me;
   my heart within me is dismayed.
5 I remember the days of long ago;
   I meditate on all your works
   and consider what your hands have done.
6 I spread out my hands to you;
   I thirst for you like a parched land. 7 Answer me quickly, LORD;
   my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
   or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
   for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
   for to you I entrust my life.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, LORD,
   for I hide myself in you.
10 Teach me to do your will,
   for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
   lead me on level ground.
 11 For your name’s sake, LORD, preserve my life;
   in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
   destroy all my foes,
   for I am your servant.

After reading this I cannot not be full in heart. May I carry this with me throughout this season. 


AMEN
