Consuming Fire

I am not doing good right now. I am in the fight of my life. It's not just the money it's every part of my life. My heart is ablaze in the refiners fire and I want so badly to stop, drop, and roll. The flames are becoming to high and yet I know these ones will take me higher in Him and I shall come out as gold and on fire for Jesus.
I have been listening to Facedown all morning now and my word for the day is Psalm 3:3-4 "But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill. Selah [pause and calmly think of that]!"
This is so painful but I know He loves me and I have to believe in the King of Glory. He has prepared me for such a time as this and I am His warrior princess. I will endure to the very end counting it all joy while developing perseverance. Because perseverance must finish it's work so that I may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Even in trials and tribulations God is so good to me!
He gets sweeter and sweeter as the days go by...and I keep falling in love with Him...

I'm praying for you Athena. Please call me so I can pray with you over the phone or perhaps we can meet up. I just want to give you a big hug and tell you that you are not alone.
