The Storm

You are facing some very rough storms in your life and your relationship with Jesus. You are wondering if life is going to be this hard while you are in Christ, why bother?

God has put this issue into your life so you find and deepen your faith in him. He wants us to praise him even when we are tired, feel abandoned and alone. He wants you to find HIM in the midst of our storms. If we never experienced hard times, we would never learn to be thankful for the good times. God gives us the hard issues so when we get through them, he gets the praise! 

Psalm 107:28-31 Yet when they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, the Lord brought them out of their distress. He calmed the storm and its waves quieted down. So they rejoiced that the waves became quiet, and he led them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his gracious love and for his awesome deeds on behalf of mankind.
Learn to worship him when words fail us, worship when we are worried. When your heart is torn and shattered, praise Him. On those days, when you are too tired to raise you hands, worship. When you wonder how you will make through today, tomorrow, praise Him. 


This storm will not last forever. There is a plan that we cannot see or possibly do not even understand. Praise Him and ask for rest and peace in the midst of the storm. When you are weak, Jesus is strong. Trust in Him, he sees the end result! He is always with you. You are never truly alone. 

Exodus 33:14 the Lord replied, my presence will go with you and I will give you rest. 
Heavenly Father, 

Please give me the rest and blessed peace that only you can provide. I am weak and I am worried but I am choosing to trust you in this storm. I know that you love me and will never forsake me. You have promised this in your word. I put my faith in You, for you know what is best for me.

Amen

Another Life Lesson Learned

I am tired. I am tired of giving all without being filled back up. I am empty, my needs have all been placed on the back burner. I have got to start taking care of myself properly. It is okay to put your needs first. I am learning that things that others classify as selfish, are not.  I am not selfish to spend extra money on healthy food to nourish my body.  I am not selfish for loosing myself in a knitting project or a Xbox game, in order to combat the stress that I feel and instead of tackling the dishes in the sink or the mess on the floor.  I am not selfish for telling my kids to go play and give me a little bit of quiet.  I am not selfish for telling others no, I cannot help with that right now. I am not selfish for finding a place where heart is blessed and happy. I am not selfish for taking 30 minutes a day to do yoga. I am not being selfish when I need a break from my husband, kids and dogs. I am simply learning and choosing to refill my cup s...

Let My Life Be The Proof

I struggle daily, with this at a follower of Christ. Am I speaking words that speak the love of Jesus? Am acting how Jesus would act when I am faced with trials and temptation?  Am I showing love to my fellow humans, even if we do not agree on certain topics? Am I being to a light those who need it most? Are my words being followed by actions of love? If I do not love, I have nothing. Jesus told us that the greatest of these is love. He wants us to love as He loves us. He calls us to love.     ''If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what ...

So Excited!

I went to Wal-Mart last week and they have their Christmas stuff out!! We bought 3 tree ornaments. I have already bought gifts for my brother, brother in law, father in law, sister in law, my mom, nephew, and the 3 kids my kids play with all the time. I am so proud of myself so starting my shopping so early! I am desperately trying to be finished before the rush starts. It was so fun to watch Cohen get excited about the display trees and their lights. His eyes were full of wonder and excitement. I cannot wait for the holidays to begin!
