NEW BEGINNINGS

Well tomorrow will be a new beginning a new start with a new job. I was asking for prayer and "confessing" being nervous and worried about the training I begin tomorrow, when my Pastor, started in on me about Peace and then brought up my scriptures and I do mean my scriptures which are all about Peace, DO YOU HAVE PEACE he asks, again and again!!!!! - Phil 4:4-9

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
NIV

I have stood on these scriptures for years and I am grateful for them, My Pastor then started in on me about the whole "I'm Believing God", I find it somewhat amusing, but it saddens me also. I have written in my blog about these very things and yet I speak differently when it comes down to it. Just this morning PBR had an opportunity to accept the word of the Lord and move into Him or go on with "the burden" really UNBELIEF and I was so blessed he chose the greater - yet move to the next service and I was confessing being anxious. Does that seem goofy to anyone else? I know this is where God wants me to be the job He has provided for me, this is a new mission field for me, I go there not knowing anyone and this can be a great thing. I am blessed to have a Pastor (Pastors) who calls it like he sees it and doesn't let me carry on so. In my heart I don't want to, yet at times it seems so easy to go back to old patterns of thinking and doing, Lord I give you my will, mind, heart, hands, feet - all of me, have YOUR way, mold me into what you have created me to be, help me Lord be a reflection of you, help me Lord to live the kingdom and to help bring the kingdom here, help me to pray withous ceasing, help me to live my life loving. I thank you Lord for new beginnings, I thank you for all you have brought me through to get me to this place. You are an awesome God and I love you wholeheartedly.
