All Is Well With My Soul



 What's On My Heart Today
My Wilderness Journey "All is Well With My Soul"
 

This I know, the enemy is purposed to make our steps stumble. There are most assuredly days ahead that I will stumble and days that I will soar. But as you have seen in my testimony, I am never going to have to walk that journey alone. My God will breathe new life into my soul. My husband will unconditionally love me, my family will be there to encourage me. My sister's will walk beside me. I will live out Scripture each day. I choose grace instead of grudges, laughter instead of shame, and love instead fear. The rewards of dwelling in His presence far outnumbered all that I mourned a few moments. It's a delightful journey of hope!

"All is Well With My Soul"

So, this is the end of my amazing wilderness Journey. In looking back, I learned so much. I learned great grief isn’t made to fit inside our heart and it can break our heart. But if we never experience the chill of a wilderness experience, we will never cherish the warmth of a season of abundance. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. In order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every heartache.

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness." James 3:13-18

If you are still wondering if anything significant can come out of a dry season in your life? Coming from a woman that has walked out heartache and pain, this season has made my life so much richer! Each of us will experience difficult seasons. Storms rage and fear rises up to challenge our faith. Our faith will be called into action. God's faithfulness stretches back to the very beginning of history. But praise God, He never abandons anyone on whom He has set His love; nor does Christ, the Good Shepard, ever lose track of His Sheep. I have learned that a wilderness experience can be the best place to experience an abundant Life! I learned how to go through life with a spirit of contentment, not in things seen, but in things unseen.

God is God. He knows what He is doing. When you can't see hand. Trust His heart.

Life can be beautiful, even in a broken soul. I know both, how to survive in brokenness, and how to live in joy. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. Today, I am floating on the mountain top, and it's oh so sweeet! I'm not naïve enough to believe that there will never be another Goliath in my journey, but I am stronger for having faced him on the battlefield. I will boldly step into my next season fully armed and ready for battle. Meanwhile, I want to be "wooed" by God all the days of my life. I want to stay in awe of Him. I want to cultivate a sense of wonder. I want my eyes to be opened to His presence and glory around me.

I leave you with this golden nugget... In order in fully embrace your future, you have to completely let go of your past. Today, I can truly say...All is well with my Soul!

10. "ALL IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!"

For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you." Deuteronomy 8:7-9

*Thank you for taking this 10 day journey with me as I have been walking out my past year long season. For anyone that has felt a familiarity with my journey, I pray new beginnings for all of you. Like me, I pray that God has bought you to a place of Spiritual abundance.
 
Please come back each day, hopefully, you will receive a breath of fresh air to take into your day. If you have not signed up to receive this blog, there is a place at the bottom of this post to sig-up.
