Pressin on.

Ahh!! What a perfect day!
Simply glorious because it was made by my Father.
I spent half of it today with this stunning chick to the left. Lyssa boo.
I don't know if this makes any sense, but she is kinda like the energizer bunny to me. She is such a beautiful sister in Christ to me and every time I leave her I just want to dig into His word even more. Truly inspiring!
and for that, I am thankful:)

We had like a 2 hour convo at Mt. Lodge today, over a de-licious country lovin lunch, and the main focus of it was the importance to press on, no matter what.
We are going to have interruptions in life, there is no stopping them. Lately, I have been hit with the major confusion interruption. However, I realized I can determine how it plays in my life.
And I have decided it isn't an interruption.
It is an invitation.
An invitation to learn more, draw closer to my Jesus, and fight the good fight.
Faith.
Jesus, there is only one thing left to do-
drop all I have and follow you.
KEEP PRESSING ON.
Joshua wrote down a command for us to help us along the way.
Here's my little break down I got from it:
1. We are to be:
-Strong
-Courageous
-Careful
2. We MUST meditate on His word Day & Night
- Do not depart from it!
3. We should NOT be terrified or discouraged.
and after steps 1-3, He promises us we will be successful & prosperous:)
However, He leaves us with another promise, and it is that He will be with us through all of those step, WHEREVER we go...
Joshua Chapter 1:7-9
Sweet heavenly Father,
I am lost at words at your grace. I find so much comfort in your arms. Thank you for your promises. Thank you for today and thank you for Alyssa. You shine so brightly in her. You have placed me on this journey and I pray that I am faithful and obedient to you along the way. I pray that I trust you every step I take, Lord, because you are so trustworthy. Your way is perfect and your way is good. Thank you for loving a sinner like me. I am in awe at everything you have done for me and you never cease to amaze me. Everyday you do something that just knocks me off my feet. I am head over hills in love with you, and I want to know you even more! Jesus consume me from the inside out. Pressing on for you and with you.
Your daughter,
Lexi
