Thank you Lord for today...

Today, has been a wonderful day. Thank you to all of those who have been praying for me. The fog is starting to lift. This doesn't mean that hardships or trials don't come cause they do, but my attitude and mindset towards them is changing. It wasn't even those trials that got me into the fog, but it was the lies that Satan had started deceiving me to be true.

It helps to be able to talk to someone who is older, wiser, and more mature in the Lord about my confusions and heartaches. I am grateful to have those kids of friends here in Costa Rica.

Today, I have rested. I noticed this past week that I have been busy for a few weeks now and I was in need of rest. It is so important to take time to rest and relax. It is when you are well rested that you are able to think clearly. Also, it is great to just rest in the Lord and allow Him to renew your mind through His word. Rest for me is not optional it is an essential. Jesus took time to rest because he knew it was important. Remember when the storm came over the sea and everyone on the boat was freaking out, and what was Jesus doing? He was sleeping then they woke him up and he calmed the sea. Take time to let Jesus calm your heart and your mind, each week.
