Life is a constant journey. On a journey we must continually replenish ourselves so we will not get totally exhausted and quit the destination we have set out to reach. The journey that I am on is a journey of faith and one that requires me to have to continually be renewed day by day and moment by moment. My source of refueling is one that is complete and lacking nothing...Jesus Christ. As I get tired and ready to give up and at the end of myself this is when I realize I have not refueled on a regular basis and I must go sit at the feet of Jesus. I shouldn't be amazed, but sometimes I just sit back and go WOW, You Go GOD, You amaze me that you care so much about me that you met me today at the end of myself! I know He is probably sitting on His throne, smiling and saying, I am so glad you finally asked me for help, it was there all the time, I long for you to receive all that I have for you.
Last week was one of these come to the end of myself, think I'm gonna go crazy week. God met me in the car at Noah's school. I was going a few minutes early and thought I needed to grab something to read (God's thought really), so I grabbed one book off the shelf realized it was one we were already reading and just quickly grabbed my Reading the Bible through in a year Bible (that one that I haven't been able to keep up with thus I am in May, and it is Nov.!) We'll anyway, I didn't realize that I was going to sit there for over 30 minutes waiting on Noah as he had forgotten his phone and couldn't call me and he was at cross country practice... (God knew) We'll needless to say I got some much needed "refueling" time from the Father that was so very precious. Below are just a few things God spoke to me.

We are all on this journey together. I pray mine may be an encouragement to you. As you read the scriptures below I pray that God will replenish you as He has me. May you continually be renewed day by day and moment by moment.
Psalm 27:1,3 "The LORD is my light and my salvation-so why should I be afraid? ( I realized I had fear) The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? v. 3 Though a mighty army surround me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.
