MY WILDERNESS

Well, after my summer of 07 encounter into a true walk and life style with the Lord. I had to go back to Bloomington Indiana, my own wilderness. It was tough and I had no desire, what-so-ever to be there. I was there for 5 weeks, constantly seeking after the Lord, both in the morning and night. I was scared. Scared that I might have gone back to my old ways, scared that I might have seen my ex girlfriend and things might have "re-kindled" between us. I was just nervous, but I had to be there to get stuff taken care of, as of canceling accounts, getting my college transcript, and etc..

However, God said to me, that I am not in this wilderness alone. He is with me, and preparing me for Hershey ( because I was moving back) and training me up more into him. So He has used me mightily in my old church, The Life Church, but he was now teaching me to become more humble, to literally die to my flesh daily. I had my own major battles in my mind, however, the more I seek after the Lord, my Father, the more he was installing that in me. Next thing I know, I was forgiving those, who hurt me or I had a grudge against. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can do the heart transplant in me, no one else, but him.

I encourage you reader, that if you feel alone in your own wilderness, God is near. It says in the Bible that he never leaves you, nor will he ever forsake you. It's true, he is everywhere and anywhere, you just have to call upon his name, and he will become, (as he was with me) an oasis in the very wilderness you are in.

God bless
