I'm in a new pot ---its scary!!!

Ok so I got to talk to Shellie tonight and she helped me so much! (praise God)

Lately I have been feeling lonely, afraid and insecure. Shellie helped me understand the reason I have been feeling this way.

I hope I can explain it well. I'll try...

When I became a follower of Christ --I began to grow. My roots and all became too big for the pot I was in. I needed to be transported into a new pot because I was going to die if I stayed in my old pot. . .So now as I have been put in this new pot I cannot feel the edges, I do not know the boundaries, it is exciting because I have all this room to grow--but it is scary! The old pot was getting a bit cramped but I knew my boundaries --I knew my place. I was comfortable there. God has so much more to teach me and I want to learn--I want to continue growing . But it feels a bit lonely and scary right now.

This visual is totally helping me understand my feelings and I am excited to see where God is taking me!!

My verse for the day is...He summons his picked troops, yet they stumble on their way. They dash to the city wall; the protective shield is put in place.

God I pray that you protect my heart. I pray that I can have open hands and a protected heart. I pray that when I am attacked by the evil one that your hand is over my heart. I pray that in times of trials I allow you to be at work in my heart. I pray that when I am tested I can allow the holy spirit to flow through me and that I can pass the test in love. Thank you lord for loving me as I stand before you broken and shamed! Thank you, Thank you Thank you! AMEN

Goodnight my friends--momma avila
