am i ready??

"I can read the Bible a hundred times, read Lady in Waiting fifty times, but if my heart is not ready to give Him my desires, nothing in this world will help. Therefore it is for those who are ready to give the King all their dreams, desires, and wishes and go with their “Naomis” to the unknown that they will find in the end God’s promised land. Such following may look good to us or not - but God, His ways are perfect, and He protects those who hide under the shadow of His wings. We must trust God during our time of waiting, during moments of loneliness, and must fight the best we can with God’s help to guard our hearts, for from our hearts come the issues of life.”
