The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.

This time of year, I get very reflective. I sit back and evaluate my life. My ups, downs, accomplishments, defeats, highs and lows and as I am doing so now, I have concluded that my life is good! Every thing I have done and been through has helped shape and mold the woman that I am. I am not proud of everything I have done but I am proud of who I am.

It is easy to get caught up in regret and play the role of victim when life serves you what you have sowed and it is retribution time. It is easy to have a pity party when the consequences of your actions slap you in the face and you are forced to altar your course. I have made plenty of perceived mistakes. I have made some bad decisions. I have lapsed in judgment (I am far from perfect)  but the BIBLE says that the steps of a righteous man are ordered of God. I am righteous not because of myself or my works (that is a joke) but because of Christ Jesus, His blood and the Father's mercy. So because I am deemed righteous through salvation, I lay claim to this scripture and can be in absolute peace as I journey. My steps are ordered. Where I go is ordered. My path is pre-set.....so God is not surprised about my revelations along the way. I may be shocked but He is not. So this holiday season, as I prepare for 2010...I celebrate where I have been because it is the platform, the foundation for where I am going. 2009 was the year of birthing, 2010 is my year of promise. So much of what the Father has promised me is already in fruition...I can see the buds on the tree, the promise is at hand. So be encouraged and know that it is in the valley that God prepares, shapes, reveals and deals. He wants to expose what is in our hearts so we can be delivered and set free. He will not allow us to take certain things and certain people into the promise. He has to allow life to shake us so we can let it go.......but the choice is ultimately ours.

This year I have been overwhelmed with lessons.....and they continue but one thing is for sure.. I know the path that I am on is destined and ordained for me. My steps are ordered. My lessons are tailor designed.....so I do not have one regret. Nope, not one. This is my journey and it is one hell of a ride.....and despite it all I am enjoying every moment of it!
