"What Do You Do...?"

What do you do in times when you have to face fear, stay strong, and be a support system all at once? Lately I have found myself in this situation. It humbles you and you find that you really do have patience after all. It has been one thing after the other, I know that God is right here with me walking beside me holding my hand, but it's just hard to see! I know for one it's hard not to have doubts in times like these, and more importantly it's hard to trust because you think to yourself "if there is a God then why is he letting this bad stuff happen to me?" Let me tell you right now, God doesn't ever let bad things happen to people. God is the Creator of all good and wonderful things, He never created anything that was bad, the devil did. God doesn't let bad things happen to us, we do that all the time. He sends out warning signals and buzzers and has alarms that go off, but we ignore them all and just keep going. We commit sins and we do everything wrong, until we get to the point where it hits us that there is something wrong. When we commit sin there is judgement, but it's not when we get to Heaven when we finally receive it, it's here on Earth that we do. For every action there is a reaction.
It pains Him to see us struggle and fall and it hurts Him when we hurt. He can't stop it until we cry out to Him, to admit that we have sinned and have fallen short. His forgiveness is instant, and He casts it all into the sea of forgetfulness never to think of it again. To make us white as snow to His eye. Friends you are not alone in your struggles today, you are being cared for by someone greater and by the one who made you and crafted you while you were still in your mother's womb. The God who calls you each and everyday to lay down your nets and follow Him. The One who wants a relationship with you, the one who tells you everyday that He loves you and cares for you even when we turn our ears off! May God continue to bless you and pour out into your life. Receive all that he has for you! Be blessed and stay strong my brothers and sisters....God bless!

I Can See Clearly Now...

Have you ever had a weird dream? I'm sure you have, but have you had them for about a week or two straight?! Well lately I have had nothing but weird dreams and to say the least at first they don't make sense, but once I sit down and pray about it, it's like the veil has been lifted and I can see clearly now! I won't get into any specifics, but they have been off the wall. God has been revealing a lot to me the last couple of weeks, and I'm so thankful for that! At the same time God has challenged me to a lot as well. It amazes me every time that God truly speaks to me because it's never the same twice. Each time it gets louder and louder, but you also get attacked by the enemy because you know that you are close to God and you're about to do great things for God and the enemy is trying to get you off track and get you distracted. Stay focused on the prized that God has in store for you and know that you're not going through it alone for you and for two that it makes you stronger. I know it's hard to hear that when you're actually going through it because you feel all alone, but I would advise everyone to read Footprints in the Sand, that talks about how God is walking beside you and when you feel like there is no one there and you only see one set of footprints, it's because God is the one carrying you through it! Stay strong and encouraged! Have a blessed day!!
