I've been going through a situation and well it's been a hard one. (Goes back to this situation, should have posted this one first. Oops! :)
I've finally taken my hands off of it. FINALLY.
Whatever will be will be.
Sooooo, Something totally unexpected happend.
ALL I could hear was God saying, "be careful". I'm like O_O ok.
When God says be careful. BE CAREFUL.
WATCH AND PRAY!!!!!
People will try to USE you. I KNEW beyond a doubt that when that unexpected thing happened it wasn't sincere. I ALREADY KNEW.
God will NOT allow me to be fooled. NOT.AT.ALL.
I'm learning to really, really listen for God's voice. It's not a big huge James Earl Jones booming voice, it's a soft voice. In my experience anyway. So I have to literally be quiet, be still and listen.
God hasn't failed me yet. He is so faithful.
NO DEAD WEIGHT.
I don't care who you are. If you are going to get in my way of pleasing him??? BYE BYE.
I encourage you all, be aware of those around you. I'm asking God to remove people from my life that might hinder me from making progress in Him.
I'm not perfect, just striving to be the woman God wants me to be. Keeping my life lined up with the WORD!
Girl one of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 46:10, "Be still and know that I am God." You did a good job listening.

So true, so true. Thank you for sharing this with us. It seems that the closer you get you fulfilling your goals, the more obstacles so-called friends will place in your way.
Stay blessed!

Isn't the Voice amazing? I'm trying to listen right now about a particular situation as well and He's been talking.
I thank God for who He is to me and to you. He's is truly awesome!!!

I love James Earl Jones' voice, but I will forever link it with the dark side of the force :).
One thing I've been discovering about my inner circle is that when I let Him work it out, He does.

I know all too well what you mean. It's often tough dealing with some people. You have to tread lightly and be cautious in trying to make the right decisions. That's why it is good to consult God before doing any and everything. I hope everything works out..well I know it will work out.
