He makes all things new again, even me (and you). No matter how hard we try to run and hide or how high we build our walls, He is still faithful to find us. Always sending us exactly what we need just when we need it. Not only is His timing perfect but, His provision is as well.
My help (and hope) came this time in the shape of a link to an article (He sent me) which led me to a book (http://www.amazon.com/One-Thousand-Gifts-Fully-ebook/dp/B003U2TWQ8) which is leading me towards finding an answer to questions that have been perplexing me and perhaps, even prohibiting me from hearing His answer(s).
I am only half-way into this book but, what I am gleaning from it is huge. Simple, yet profound Truth; inspiring, motivating, encouraging, life-giving water in my time of drought.
Coming to terms with my failures and short-comings (yes, I do have them :) and quite a few at that!) and realizing and admitting my ingratitude is helping me see where I have faltered & how I have hindered my own growth. I didn't know that this was/is a stumbling block for me.
You see, I had always thought I was the thankful kind. I have always given thanks to God for all He has done for me. For saving, restoring and blessing me beyond words. I give thanks in the small everyday blessings, too. Yes, even dirty dishes and tons of laundry and even just the other day, I thanked Him (once again) for my husband who works so hard for us so, I can stay home with the kids and for being able to go home to a house with heat and food. So, being one to usually give thanks and praise when and to Whom it is due, I didn't realize that it is herein that my problem may lie.
Until now...
