C-E-L-B-R-A-T-E!

Today is a day for celebration. It’s my husband’s birthday and we will celebrate him. Happy birthday Mason! I love you!

 

BalloonsHowever, today is also the birthday of Full Measure of Joy. Two year ago today, I made the decision to start a blog, write something on that blog every day, and above all, point others to Jesus. What an exciting two years it’s been.

 

I also believe God isn’t finished (with me or my blog) yet. There is so much still to write. So many lives to touch. Much more of me to give. So I will continue on this journey and let God be in control of every aspect of FMOJ.

 

I thought of the verse in Philippians 1:6 (NIV) as I wondered what I would write today and I believe it is appropriate for my life as well as my blog. “Being confident in this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

 

I am more than confident that starting Full Measure of Joy was a God thing. He urged and pushed until I gave in. He knew from the beginning what this blog would come to mean to me. He knew from the beginning that I would be able to make it happen. He had every confidence in me, because He just knows.

 

But what I am also confident in is that I could not have come on this journey without Him. I would have lost momentum. I would have given up. I would have believed it impossible. I would have thought, “I wasn’t ready.”

 

I would have been wrong.

 

God began a good work in me when I wrote that very first blog in 2012. And because I believe He is still working through me and FMOJ, He isn’t finished yet.

 

So what is my part in this journey?

 

To trust Him.

 

To believe Him.

 

To know Him.

 

To glorify Him.

 

To experience Him.

 

To honor Him.

 

To hear Him.

 

To follow Him.

 

To thank Him.

 

To proclaim Him.

 

To serve Him.

 

When I am open to where God leads me, He will use me. And He will continue to do His good work in me. It’s been a great journey and I am thankful that God called me to join Him.

 

God calls you to be open to His leading as well. Are you listening? Do you know where He wants to take you? Are you willing to go on the journey with Him?

 

I pray that you are open to God’s voice today. Don’t hesitate. Just do it. He has started a good work in you and wants to bring it to completion. Remember, He is right there with you.

 

Happy birthday Full Measure of Joy! Let’s celebrate!

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

 

Donna
