Moving Higher and Going Deeper into My Soul

This week was a soul searching week. I discovered that I can move on from the sting of rejection and defeat. I know that my financial situation is getting more precarious by the day, but I still have hope. I am learning to reach out and use my resources. It won't be easy to get out of this pit that I've found myself in.

Yet even in this pit I know that the Lord is with me. I am moving higher now out of the despair that I allowed to seep into my soul. I am stronger than I was last week at this time. I can handle the pressure more now than I could then.

I am learning to step out of the pit and go deeper into my soul. It is scary. The Lord knows me. He knows my fears and doubts. I can remain secure in him.

I don't want to go back to what I was before I lost my job in 2012. I don't want to be someone that ignores the pain and walks away. I want to be what God has created me to be, a compassionate and loving person. I want to hear the Lord say to me; "Well Done Good and Faithful Servant."

So I work diligently and press forward to find my calling and ministry. God knows how much I need to feel needed. Thank you for loving me, Lord God.
