I fail…in so many ways.
During this series I have come to realize that I am absolutely nothing without constant prayer, being true to who God really made me to be and realizing that no matter how hard I try, I simply cannot do anything with out the Grace and Mercy of my Almighty, loving and constantly dedicated God.
I know that some of you have been waiting patiently for this final post about I Fail…..
It has been a constant on my mind about ALL of the things that I fail at doing, being, etc…
I have prayed, I have dwelled, I have talked about, I have begun posts and deleted posts, I have put myself through the wringer. I came to realize as I was going to sit down and write this last post, that I, yes, emphasis on I, did it again, I thought I had it handled, the 5 post series. I had it in the bag, I could totally write about 5 different topics that I fail at…..or so I thought. I did too much without consulting the Man Upstairs. I shake my head as I type because I hate to even admit it, I boasted before I had all the insights, I failed at listening to the Lord, yet again…….I did exactly what I have been posting about, doing from my Human Side and not my Spiritual Side….UGH!!
So, I have been thinking about how much I hope that this helps someone and I believe now that it was all for me to see that I still MUST rely on the Almighty God, the King of Kings and I need to step back and put Him first. I thought it all through, I just knew that this is what the Lord was pressing on my heart to write about. SOMEONE (umm, yea, this someone!) needed these posts, what a total kick in the pants to realize that He once again had to bring me to my knees by yanking the rug out from under me so I remembered that He is in control.
I have been excited by the mere thought of my blog becoming “the place” for influence, for inspiration. I keep waiting for big numbers to show up on my screen and again, that is where I Fail…..because I want things that aren’t what He wants for me. I do not know what I am to do with this blog of mine, but I still feel led that I am heading in the right direction. I still feel in my heart that God has a plan for me with writing, but again, I failed to WAIT on Him. {Psalm 37:7 ~ Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;}
So, without further ado, I will close this post series about I Fail…..because I failed, yet again and now I need to pick myself up and turn right around and get down on my knees and ask the Lord what I am to go next, then wait and listen……..
{Psalm 37:34 ~ Wait on the Lord, and keep His way}
{Psalm 27:14 ~ Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.}

In His Grace.
