So many blessings

This weekend I spent alot of quiet time w/my Lord. I first praise God for His Spirit drawing me to Him. I pray I come to Him out of love and not just duty. It was a pleasure to just bask in Christ's love. I've become more aware that prayer is a conversation and not me firing off my laundry lists of things I want God to do. I must give reverent worship & time and space for God to speak to my heart. I must learn to be quiet in His presence. Sometimes this is hard to do, b/c the mind wanders & I most surely fall asleep right there on my knees. I used to beat myself up about that..but my mama so graciously told me that those are the times I sleep on God's knee and He's just stroking my hair & lovingly looking at me. Isn't that precious?!
I found myself not paying so much attention to the clock and less anxiety(thinking of my to-do list for the day)than yesterday's prayer time. Thank you Jesus. I need to get lost in Him. I love it when He teaches me and then helps me to take it one day @a time and love myself.
I thought about the many many blessings in my life. How God has removed every single enemy that used to surround me in close proximity at my job. I still have enemies, but the ones that sat closest to me are gone. He changed my outlook towards them even before He moved them. I had to learn this year how to treat my enemies. How to heap coals of fire on their head by treating them kind. Oh trust me yall, it was NOT easy and I failed the test many times. But God slowly taught me that they need the love of Christ and that I am not to return their ignorance. He helped me see them through His eyes. That has been a year long lesson & I know Christ will continue to take me further & deeper into this lesson. It was confirmed thru the pastor on yesterday's message that Christ is concerned about how we treat people..enemies and all. So I praise God that He confirmed it b/c many times I thought I was losing my mind and that the lessons served no purpose.
Other blessings include the Holy Spirit opening up my understanding to the new things/functions at my job I've learned. Somehow that dart that the enemy lodged into my heart years ago that I was a stupid woman who couldn't learn anything, Christ has melted it and shown me full truth. I can LEARN all things through Christ who teaches me. I have learned to ask God to show me creative ways of learning, since He is the Creator. All creativity comes from Him. Just the confidence He has bestowed upon me is amazing. Thank you Jesus.
Blessings in seeing family members come to Jesus, that I've been praying for, for years. HALLELUJAH! Seeing different family members being healed of old wounds and just me coming closer to different ones.
SO MANY BLESSINGS.
I PRAISE YOUR NAME.
