I think I have posted that I want God to give me the gift of wisdom. He has blessed me with that and has given me opportunity to use it. I prayed so that I could share my gift with Moms in need of guidance whether it be with their children, money, or just how to recognise when God is doing something in their lives.
Having struggled with some control issues and with being a bit judgemental, My edges Are softened and He has entrusted me with a new mind and gift.
A little background,
Before I could receive the gift of Wisdom God brought me down a path that was long and sometimes scary but He was with me the whole way. Even when I felt alone He never left me. Over this past couple years the streaching and remolding, humbled and sometimes made me angry. I am resistant to change and did not want to give God complete control. I could not see the path I could only see where I was and that was causing frustration.
To ease the frustration I had to grow closer to God. I sought and am seeking Him in a way like never before. I had to rely on Him and stop thinking I already had the answers.
Lately a few people have commented on my ability to pray. This is an area I have struggled with. I always felt insignificant and felt that God was not listening or that I was praying wrong or not eloquent enough. But after being told that people were enviouse of my praying abilities I was speechless.
Enviouse of me? Really?
Now I am ready to use what God gave me. I want to really grow and become a mentor for woman who struggle with low self esteem and woman who struggle with their finances and with their children. After years of doing it wrong, now I am able to recognise when other people need guidence. I am now prepared when God puts someone in my path to give sound biblicle advice and If I can’t I can atleast point them to who can.
