Weary? Find Rest... Guest Blogger: Stephanie

Last night was a night of conviction and relief! I knew that I was
supposed to be there when the topic of the night was "God's Answer for
Weariness"!!!!!!!!!!! Man just the title had me sold!! Where do I sign
up?!!!
I love how God will correct His children or show them things that they
need to work on, because although Joyce was very direct and nailed the
point home several times times last night, the Holy Spirit was
speaking to me gently gave me Hope and started to fill me with Joy.
Weariness means that you have no freshness, no tolerance, no patience,
no joy..your attitude sucks. All of those things are things that I
have been feeling since I've started school. And even before school
being a Single Mom. One of the points she made was, "Life doesn't make
us weary its the way WE APPROACH life. It's our ATTITUDE." We become
weary when we try to do it on our own. I sat there and wanted to ball
my eyes out. I was mad at myself for letting Satan have my attitude.
For letting him have a foothold. In Daniel 7:25 its says that Satan
seeks to make us weary!! I didnt' know that but it makes perfect
sense. When I get weary I become miserable in all areas. I just want
to give up and thats exactly what Satan wants us to do. Give up. Well
bucko (Satan) you are NOT going to steal my joy or my days on this
earth!!!! This I was forgiven for not being a good steward of my time
and for allowing myself to be agitated and have a bad attitude. From
today on with the help of our Lord my soul is going to be on
vacation ;) I will do everything that I can do and than sit back and
be on vacation waiting with expectancy knowing that God is going to
come through!!!!!!!! I will take up His yoke in EVERYTHING!!

Side note:
Proverbs 15:15 "All the days of desponding and afflicted are made by
evil by anxious thoughts and forebodings."
Desponding means- someone that is all down and depressed from the
afflictions in their lives
Forebodings means- Expecting something bad to happen before it even
happens!!!

Our expectations are part of our Faith!!!! Wait with ENTHUSIASTIC
EXPECTANCY!!!!!!!!
