WELCOME TO MY BLOG

My name is Barbara Frone and I welcome you to my blog. I pray that my walk with God will encourage your heart and that God will bless you for every step you take towards him. God has a plan for each and every one of us and if we will earnestly seek him every day, he will not only show us his plan for our lives, but he will live it through us. We serve an amazing God!

I HAVE A TESTIMONY TO SHARE

          Several months ago I asked God to teach me what exactly is abiding in him and resting in him.  I have a general understanding of it, but can't seem to nail it down and am definitely not living it.  Well, today I got up and talked to God and was just down on myself on how I yet again failed with something I have been struggling with for years.  I can't seem to get victory over it and am so tired of dealing with it.  I keep making new plans, setting new goals, etc, on how exactly I am going to get victory over this struggle in my life.  So this morning I told God that I just don't know what to say anymore.  I'm tired of struggling and trying and not making any headway.  In fact, I feel I'm getting worse!!!  All day today I just didn't want to think about it, so I went about my day doing my duties, but not letting me think about it.  But here's what I just noticed.  Every time something tempted me, I started to think about it a little but then I just felt this strength in me (even a voice in my spirit saying) you can do this.  It's not worth it.  This happened several times today, and just now I realized that this is what abiding in Christ is.  This is what resting in Christ is.  Stop trying to figure it out  or making another plan on how to win this struggle.  Just abide in him moment by moment and he will get you through it.  Jesus will give you the strength you need just when you need it.  No more planning for me!  I will win this struggle one day at a time with my Lord and Saviour until one day it will not have an effect on me anymore, because I will be resting with my Lord and letting him do it all through me.  Thank you, Jesus!
