God's plan

God's Plan

God has a plan for our lives. There is a path set for us all. This path may not always be smooth. It may contain a few bumps. It is still the path God created for us to follow.  The struggles we endure along the way, he will be at our side.  But, it is these struggles and bumps that mold us into the the person God needs us to be.  

Stay on God's path. Learn the lessons along the way. Through the struggles, praise God.

He has great plans for us.

We should have no fear

We Should Have No Fear

 I was having a procedure done that I was really stressing about because it was supposed to make you kinda sick.  So, I prayed that God would help me get through it without being sick.  It then got me thinking. Why do I fear anything if I trust in God? He loves me.  If he guides my life, what is there to fear? He will not give me more then I can handle.  I did not worry about the procedure again.  

 When I got to my procedure, I found out that they changed the way it was performed and it no longer made anyone sick.  See, he takes care of us.

 I feel comforted knowing my father walks with me.  He answers my prayers. He will never give me more than I can handle.

 I have nothing to fear in life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

God's Daughter: Embrace the moment

God's Daughter: Embrace the moment

I just found this blog today. The author talks about the importance of living in the moment. For me, that is the only way my life works. I learned that lesson the hard way. If you spend time worrying and stressing over things, eventually your life will start to spiral out of control. I know from experience. I finally learned that in order to hear God's plan, I had to live in the moment and let him show me the way. Life is so much easier this way.

Lessons Learned along the Way- part 2

Lessons Learned along the Way- part 2 

In this second part, I wanted to share the more personal changes and not as much of the spiritual side as was in the first part.

This was my life prior to my "downward spiral":  it was stressful and chaotic. I worried over things I had done. I worried over the future. I let everything effect the personally. I held grudges. I had to get even If wronged. I needed control. My head, marriage, family, and life was so hard.  But then, it crashed and the woman who walked out of the ashes, was not the same one that walked into the fire.  Pain changes you. It also takes dealing with the real big stuff to show you how stressing over the things that really don't matter or can't he changed, is crazy. I refuse to stress over anything.

Worry is something else I am doing without. You can't change the past, let it go. The future is not even here yet.  Let go of worry, grudges, and hurts. Live for the moment. Nothing else matters. God's got my life.

Forgive. God says if he is to forgive us and bless us, we have to forgive everyone. That was a little challenging, but when I did forgive, It was amazingly freeing.

Now that my life is calm and simple, God is able to show me so much more.  I can see so much more. I had been missing a lot. I want to go through the rest of my journey with my eyes wide open and no distractions.  Now I know that I will still stumble but I will just pick myself up, brush of the dirt,  and move on.
