Karen Day 9
Karen Day 9
Spent most of the morning at Jack in the Box in Turlock at Hwy 99 reading God’s Word and seeking Him, charging our cell phone and computer (no internet access though).
We have no direction yet to get up and walk, so we wait and pray, because that’s what this journey is all about-not our plans but His will for the day. In my mind it makes no sense to sit and wait but in my spirit there is a peace that goes beyond any understanding. He says “am I enough?” My answer to Him is, Lord, You created the heavens and the earth, You are in everything I see. There is nowhere that You are not there. You are Lord of all and I choose You. I choose life and love and all You have for me. Yes! Yes! Yes! You are infinity beyond more than enough! God, my provider, my shelter, my comfort, my peace, my joy, the glory and the lifter of my head, my strength, my hope for the future, my Savior, my friend, my counselor and healer. I choose You!
I am being transformed into God’s creature by the renewing of my mind, being conformed into the image of my Savior and Friend Jesus. As I peel away the ugliness of self, I am finding that I am nothing in myself but I am everything in Him. A new creation.
Praise God! Hallelujah! Amen!
On this amazing journey that we are on, I find that He is changing me, refining me, molding me so that I can do His work. He has called us to be a light to the world, but how can we be a light to the world when we don’t make time for the one True Light? We are like our cell phones, if we don’t charge up our battery, we have no power! I want to walk in His power, being His hands, His feet, His voice.
Walking into the voice of God! Jesus said, “He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. John 14:12
We talked to some homeless people today and shared some of our pretzels and trail mix. Stephanie was a woman who had lost everything because of drugs. With the help of our precious Savior, she has been off drugs for 1 year. She was so cute and excited to share what the Lord has done for her and it was evident that He was living in her. The three guys were a bit messed up but it was a joy to love on them.
My love and prayers for you all,
Karen

Hello darlings!
I just figured out how to read your stuff… I love what i’m reading. You are in my thoughts and prayers always. I just love the fact you are waiting for direction. We are so quick to jump up and take care of the things we think need to be handled…. I bet it’s nice just to wait for him. LUCKY!
