Praise God :)

I feel that with my new beginning in the Lord, I need to start a new blog. It's a bittersweet moment for me. I came to love "This Joy is Contagious", but I know that, with the Lord's help, "A New Beginning" will be just a wonderful. :)

I am SOO thankful for the Lord and all that He does!! I just don't feel like I can praise Him or thank Him enough! He has brought me out of the miry clay and He is doing a work in me that I can't even begin to describe! And Lord knows I don't deserve it. But I am SOO thankful for His saving grace! He never gave up on me.

Hebrews 13:5 says "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

And ohhh how true that is!! When I was running from Him and turning my back on Him not a day went by when I didn't feel His Holy Ghost convicting my heart. He was always right there begging me to come back to Him. And how happy I am that I finally listened!!

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!


He has completely restored my joy and my love for Him. All I want is to be with Him and follow His will for my life, whatever that might be. I got out of His will once before and I don't EVER want to go there again. It was the most miserable year of my life and it made me, ultimately, backslide. But it's made me have a greater love for Him. A deeper longing. And if I learned anything from it, I learned that the stupid devil will use anything and anyone to distract you. he will turn your desires into something that will ruin your relationship with God if you're not careful. The devil can make anything look good and appealing but he doesn't show you the pain and the heartache that comes along with it. It you stay full of the Holy Ghost and keep a close relationship with God and never slack in praying, He will lead you where He wants you to go and He will give you the strength the follow Him!!
