Hello All,
God can grant a blessing, and then throw you a curve ball....just to test your faith!! He wants to see if you are immediately going to crumble and worry, or if you will continue to praise Him and trust Him!! Oh Lord!! This is what happened to me today, and I know that I am not the only one!!!
Okay Lord. I get it. I told you that I trust you, and that is where I will stay. The situation looks bleak, and I am not sure what is going on....but I will continue to trust you and pass this test.
Be Blessed,

Good Things Happen When You Trust God
Hello All,
Good things start to happen when you trust God. The purpose and plan for our lives is not up to us – God has the path set, and its our job to listen, be available, and be obedient to what He wants us to do. When we begin to think we know what is best…..all HELL breaks loose!!!! You can probably look back over your life, and see where you have messed up!! You thought you knew what was best (relationship, career, etc..) and decided that you were going to convince God that He should see things your way. Ultimately, God had the last word and action!!
Oftentimes, it hurts. We hear God telling us to do this, don't do that, let this person go, add this person on.... We don't understand and want to know what the end is going to be now!! Learning how to trust God in the face of adversity and pain can lead to tremendous blessings.
Stepping out on FAITH can be difficult because we cannot see anything, and we are putting our TRUST in someone we cannot touch. But hold fast to HIS WORD! Let God know you trust Him by being obedient to what He is telling you to do. You may not understand it - who, what, when, where and why....but TRUST God that He will work it out according to His purpose and plan for your life. There is a greater good far beyond anything that we can ask or think. Pray through your pain and sorrow....because joy comes tomorrow. In time, hurt will turn into healing.

Change is good....even if it hurts
Hello All,
My Grandpa did not like change! He never wavered from his normal routine...never! In his mind, things need to remain the same so that everyone knows what to expect and have something to count on. No surprises. If it's not broke, why fix it!
Grandpa had a point, but at the same time change is about growth. The more we accept change, we are stepping out on faith and allowing ourselves to elevate to the next level.
Lately, it seems that my whole life is one big change! Every aspect of my life is calling for change, and the ball is in my court whether or not I go for it. God has been focusing on my weaknesses, and those things that I am dragging my feet on. He is trying to take me higher, but I have to be willing. Thank you Lord because I am ready, willing, and able!
Change is good, but sometimes that requires us to make tough choices. Tough...because it's what we want to do, but it's not necessarily what God wants us to do. Certain people have to be let go from your life, and certain things have to cease. Forgiveness has to take place, and obedience has to come forth.
Embrace change and make it work for you. Create an atmosphere of Hope and Faith so that God can come into your heart and lead you into the purpose you were meant for.

A Glimpse to the Future
Hello All,
God knows what is best for us! He really does! The problem is that we get in His way....thinking we know how to deal with our situations on our own. Sometimes we are just not there, but want to be. We want to trust God and give Him our all....but we have a hard time getting to 100%. You know what He does? He starts to give you little glimpses of how it would be if you completely let go. He sends certain people your way, allows certain situations to happen, and blessings to come down. It gets your attention! You start to realize, "Wow, it's like that God!"
He wants you to trust Him and have faith in Him. He also wants you to know that you can do all things through Him. Your life is not suppose to be full of doubt, worry, anxiety, and false promises.
Don't just get a glimpse of what God has in store for you. Don't be afraid to listen to what God is saying to you, be obedient, and walk into the fullness of His love and glory.
Be Blessed,
