short but sweet.

Happy November!!

I can not believe its November already. October FLEW BY! so much happened last month. Many memories made, to do lists made & realizations that I will soon be moving back to my beloved island.

I was planning on making this a long blog but my words are flying around in my head and can't seem to sort them out so I am going to make it short and sweet.

Jesus Calling summed up how I am feeling right now with 18 days left to get all my packing, crossing off and good-byes in before I move.

" Do not be discouraged by the difficulty of keeping your focus on Me. I know that your heart's desire is to be aware of My Presence continually. This is a lofty goal; you aim toward it but never fully achieve it in this life. Don't let feelings of failure weigh you down. Instead, try to see yourself as I see you. First of all, I am delighted by your deep desire to walk closely with me through your life. I am pleased each time you initiate communication with me. In addition, I notice the progress you have made since you first resolved to live in My Presence.

When you realize that your mind has wandered away from Me, don't be alarmed or surprised. You live in a world that has been rigged to distract you. Each time you plow your way through the massive distractions to communicate with Me, you achieve a victory. Rejoice in these tiny triumphs, and they will increasingly light up your days."

This is what I needed to hear today. I hope that if whoever is reading this, if you are feeling deflated, that God will give you a peace and a comfort in who you are.

I will post a blog next week about my recent travels, prayer requests & more info about my soon to be life in Haiti : )

THank you all for your support. It means more then you can imagine to have people spurring me on in this direction that God has me going in.

In Christ's Love,

E
