11 DAY ROUTE FROM EGYPT TO CANAAN Day 10 Getting hope back

DAY 10 GETTING HOPE BACK

I am nearing Canaan now and should be there tomorrow.  So I can leave the desert behind me and go to the land God promised me.  It was a long and treacherous journey, but… I have made it thus far! And I am getting my hope back!!!

I LOOK FORWARD TOO:

I  Forgiving and forgetting the past

I  Moving on with a new chapter in my life – all on my own

I  A very close walk with God

I  Watch movies without any cursing in them

I  Doing my own thing on my own time

I  Beginning to do the things that I really wanted to do

I  Being myself without having to close down parts of me

I  Eating food other than manna and quails – not that I am not thankful for that

I  Enjoying things on my own

I  Explore new things on my own that I have never done before

I  New lessons I will learn from God, because I have learned to listen to His voice in my desert experience

I  New things I will discover about myself on this new journey

I  One thing I have discovered is saying no and just sticking to that without feeling sad and sorry about that

I  Going on holiday on my own for the first time

I  Doing things for the first time – things that I never had time to do before

HOW DO I FEEL IN MY HEART?

I  Much lighter

I  Happy that I stuck to doing this trek from Egypt to Canaan

I  Amazed that I had the guts to make it thus far

I  Looking forward to having a great time, because I have realized that I can do things on my own, and it will also be nice

I  Getting my hope back that I can do this – after 39 years of marriage

I  Hopeful

I  Very glad that God was my guiding Light through this desert journey

I  Excited for things that lies ahead

I  Excited about how God is going to use me in the future

I  Wonderful to have the guts to go through this

I  Happy and glad that there was a Red Sea that closed behind me, else I would have gone back to pity, and feeling sorry for myself (my Egypt)

I  A little sad that I had to realize that I cannot depend on my one friend as much as I would have liked to, but instead I remembered and realized that God is always there for me.

I  Wonderful that I clung to God through this journey

I  Thankful that I listened to God and allowed Him to take me through this journey. I just wish I could help a lot of people to go through this journey

I  So thankful that God was there all the time because I would not have made it without Him!

I  Thankful that there was God, holding my hands through the fight so that I could win this fight (Moses and his arms had to be held up else they would have lost the fight)

I  So much lighter and at peace

I  So happy to be on this last stretch of this journey

I  Thankful to God for making an effort to carry me through this journey and for thinking that I was strong enough to go through such a journey.  It is really amazing!!!

I  Thankful that I have left Egypt and that I am walking on with positivity and hope in God

I  Thankful that I have met God in another dimension on my journey to the end

I  Thankful that I have had the guts to hold on and push through this

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED ON THIS JOURNEY?

I  Walking with God is ALWAYS worth it!!!

I  God keeps His promises – always!

I  I am stronger than I thought I would be - in Christ Jesus my Lord

I  I have the right to say no to things and people

I  I have the right to decide what I allow on my road with God and what not

I  God understands me better than any human would ever understand me

I  God is always there – through thick and thin

I  God is always there – even if I make mistakes and turn my back on Him

I  God is always there – because His love is not human and is forever

I  A mountain always looks higher than it is.  If you only start climbing one step at a time, you WILL reach the top of that mountain.  And the other side is always all the way down!!

I  With God on my side nothing is impossible

I  Rephrase:  With God on my side everything is possible!!

I  Never back down from a challenge God is giving you.  When you get through that challenge, a better life awaits you on the other side.  And you get so much insight into who God really is!

I  Never, never, never walk without God in your life!!!

I  A journey teaches you so much, even the saddest and worst journey of your life.  So embrace every challenge, everything that happens to you, because God is always there to carry you – no matter what!

I  Be contempt with God’s journey for my life.  It does not always look like the best way out, but it is!!!  And God knows exactly what I can handle – with Him by my side.

I  Don’t shy away when God gives me a challenge.  He sees potential in me that I do not even know exists!

I  God can always be trusted.  Humans…. Not.

I  Put my trust in God.  He is worth the trust.

I  Never leave God nor forsake Him, because He is the only One that always cares and will always be there for me.

I  Hold on to God till the last day here on earth.  He is my best Friend, my best Father, my best Comforter in the universe!!

I  Nothing is impossible if you have God on your side.

I  No journey is too long if God is walking with me on that journey

I  Every journey that God takes me on is absolutely worth all the pain and trauma because the end is amazing!!!

I  Don’t heap pain up inside of me.  Take the journey and work through the pain.  Then leave it in the desert and go into Canaan, the promised land with freedom.

I  Working through pain leaves you in a better place

I  Clinging to pain in your heart wears you down.

THANK YOU LORD FOR…

I  Your goodness and kindness all the time

I  Taking me through this journey and leading me to the promised land

I  Closing the Red Sea behind me so that I cannot go back but just look forward

I  Being the Best and Only Friend I would ever need in my life- One that is always to be trusted

I  Holding me close to Your heart through this journey and for never letting me go

I  Every thing that You have done for me throughout my life.

I  Just being there for me when there was no one else

I  Being my best Friend in this world

I  Never letting go of my hand, but for leading me in times when I was blind and did not know which way to go

I  Being a living God and caring about Your children

I  Every time You stood by me and held me so close to Your heart, so close that I could hear Your heartbeat.

I  Leading me from Egypt to Canaan in Your time and with Your support.  I could never have done it without You

I  I love You very, very, very much my King and I never want to be without You!!!!
