Stir It Up

I subscribe to Proverbs 31 Ministries on Facebook and I get a devotional sent to my email everyday.  This is one was by Marybeth Whalen.  She was talking about how if you don't stir up a cup of coffee after putting sugar in it it doesn't get mixed in and that all the ingredients of your faith can be there, but if things don't get stirred up you can get stuck and not grow to your full potential. 

I feel that God has really stirred me up since Dean and I have moved to Oregon and started attending church.  Our local body of believers is so wonderful.  I have learned so much from them and feel that God is really showing me where there are things that I need to change.  I started a Journal today for the upteenth millionth time.  But this time I think it will be different.  I am going to use it as letters/prayers to God.  I want to be able to look back and see what God has taught me.

Dear Lord, when I am feeling stirred up, help me to think of it as You working Your sweetness into me, as You preventing me from becoming stuck. I want to move forward with You and become what You have in mind. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
