Gen. 32:26
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh . And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Wrestling with God, this is something that I don't think we really have considered doing with God, but after Sunday's sermon the thought crossed my mind. I realized that I have never had one of those moments with God, so I decided I would take hold of God and not let go till I am changed.
Monday I went to Christian Supply and stood face to face with God at the checkout. I saw the book Love & Respect. And God said - "Ready to be changed"? I bought the book and am now ready to hold on to Him through this book and I am looking forward to being changed.
After two chapters I am already seeing me in this book and how I have my shortfalls and how I am caught in this cycle of my marriage where I have hindered my relationship with my husband more than I have helped it. We have not had an awful marriage, in fact its been a good marriage, but I am looking forward to the best years being those that are coming up.
I challenge you to get this book and read it. Be ready to be changed.

WOW!! That is a powerful passionate HEART Cry!! I hear you!! I join you in this quest! (As soon as I get the book, I'll even share what He shows me and how He's changing me!)
I've pondered this verse often from time to time. I have wrestled with God and I have allowed Him to hear my desperate HEART cry for HIS anointed BLESSING!! Now is the time...for such a time as this. Thank you for sounding the Battle Cry... I stand arm in arm with you!! Let's take HOLD of all that God has designed for us - through His HOLY plan for our lives and those He has placed within our care; our responsibility, and our influence.
Thank you so much for visiting my Blogvilla Vineyard - I look forward to getting to know you. God always has a plan for his followers. I pray that God will send those He wants me to interact with - to my blog. That means - the Lord brought us together :0 and I am thankful for what He is about to do in and with our lives as they are entwined in HIS Blogvilla Vineyard!
Keep Growing Closer to Jesus
