When I Enter Your Rest

"Early in the morning, I seek Your face
I find my life in the fullness of Your joy.
Every stress and anxiety, it is gone;
When I enter Your rest, when I enter Your rest.
I find my life in You, when I enter Your rest.
My peace is complete, when I enter Your rest.
My faith is refreshed, when I enter Your rest.
I am surrounded by the power of Your love."

-When I Enter Your Rest/Cuando Reposo En Ti- Joann Rosario

The first time I heard this song, I was at a concert at Shepherd's House. There were two sister singing the song acoustic. It spoke volumes to the situation I was going through at the time. So when I was trying to find a song to praise dance to for Resurrection Sunday, this song kept playing over in my head. The words along just give me strength when I read it and I agree with it. When we enter the rest of the Lord; we find peace, we have our faith renewed, we are strengthened and restored. No one can do that for us but the Lord. In Deutronomy 33:27a "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are everlasting arms..." The Lord is not only our rest but a refuge, a strong tower; our fort. Nothing beats that.

Prayer and Fast Day 2- The Flesh is Weak

I am starting to realize certain things about myself; I have no self control sometimes. I mean, I behave myself…. A lot…..but then there are times when I have to look at myself and say “that’s not you Michelle”. There are areas in my life that I haven’t given completely over to God, and as I enter this fast I am slowly seeing those areas revealed to me. I have been trying to get rid of things that would seem like everyday novelties to others but pose as stumbling blocks for me. I wish it could be easy but I have to realize God’s strength in my weakness.
