Thoughts on Today_Monday, November 13, 2016

The weather has been so perfect. I have noticed the small things. Fall and spring are my favorite seasons. Winter and summer are necessary, but I am in love with spring and fall. Spring shows the new beginnings and the harvests are manifest in the fall. The beauty of each season blesses me in different ways.

moving-forwardEnough with my ramblings. I feel renewed. With the depth of the challenges I have been faced with, I have come to some conclusions. I know that God loves me and is with me. No question or doubt. I know that I have had to make some decisions in order for God to bless me. Waiting patiently (or even with anxiety) is different from being in limbo. My limbo was of my own accord, recognized as such or not.

I have made some decisions and am stepping out in faith. I have been waiting on God to move but He won’t move in a situation where I cannot make up my mind. I have to stay focused on the thing that leads me to walk in His purpose for my life. I have been so much in my own head and trying to make sure that everything is perfect that I forgot about living it out. No, I am not talking about doing what the world does, but more importantly really letting go.

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Yes, I am still waiting on doors to open but I understand what door I am at now. Although things are not manifest yet, I am hopeful, excited and looking forward.

 

Philippians 3:12-15 – “12 It is not that I have already taken hold of it or have already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus]. 13Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus. 15Let us, then, who are “perfectly mature” adopt this attitude. And if you have a different attitude, this too God will reveal to you.”

  1. David Ettinger – Orlando, Florida – Born and raised Jewish in New York, I moved to New Mexico in 1979. I got married in 1980, earned my BA in English in 1981, became a father in 1983, earned my MA in English in 1985, got divorced in 1986, and gave my life to Jesus Christ that same year. I have been walking with the Lord ever since. I began my journalism career in 1980, writing for The Roundup, the school paper of New Mexico State University. In 1981, I became a sportswriter for the Las Cruces (New Mexico) Sun-News, and eventually became an editor. I worked at the El Paso (Texas) Herald-Post as an editor/writer from 1987-1997. I worked at the El Paso Times in the same capacity from 1997-2001. In 2001, I moved to Orlando, FL, where I was the writer/editor at The Holy Land Experience until 2005. I served as writer/editor at First Baptist Church of Orlando from 2005-2010. I currently work at Zion's Hope, Inc. in Winter Garden, Florida. I also taught English Comp at Valencia College in Orlando from 2010-2012. I have been published in various Lifeway publications, Single Parent magazine (Focus on the Family), Zion's Fire magazine, and Real Life magazine. Additionally, I served as managing editor for Zion's Fire and Real Life. In all, I have written more than 800 articles, about 300 of which are Christian-related. My book, "Overcomers: 30 Stories of Triumph from the Bible", was released in May 2015.

    Strong wisdom spoken here, particularly: “Waiting patiently (or even with anxiety) is different from being in limbo.” I hope God keeps you abiding patiently in Him until He moves decisively!

      Thank you. I had been struggling in my writing commitment with all the things that have gone on but I pray God’s strength as I realign myself.

  2. Barbara Fisher – California – Hello there. My name is Barbara Fisher and I am a new on the blogosphere. I have thought about doing this for sometime as I can be very opinionated about things and sometimes too much for Facebook. I am a married and the mother of two adult children, and the grandmother of seven. I am a Christian and have recently just moved my membership to a Reformed Baptist Church. I retired December 2012, and that has afforded me this opportunity to not overwhelm Facebook with my thoughts. I hope you find my blog – thought provoking, engaging, and interesting. Please let me know what you think. This is one venue where your feedback is the juice craved to keep going and going.

      Thank you, Barbara. I may have been knocked around but I am still here. I will stay motivated and get back on track with my “consistent” writing.

      Thank you so much. There are times when we have to motivate ourselves and in that motivate others by sharing. I am up early today because action has to follow. I plan to stay motivated.
