Give it to God

 

  There are so many things in life that could worry you or stress you but when it comes down to it I think life is so much more than that.  This life might have trials and tribulations and troubles and worries but we can’t forget that this life is just preparation for Heaven.  It’s just a moment really and soon we will be with Jesus and the things we have done, both good and bad, and the things  we’ve done for God will all be measured.  We can’t forgot in the midst of all the troubles and worries who is ultimately in control.  We can’t forgot that God has us.  He goes before us and behind us.  If we give our worries and the things that bother us to God He will sustain us.  He will help us to bear our burdens.  He loves us and has a purpose for our lives and a plan for our life’s. One of my mentors told me one time that a lot of things we worry about are things we don’t even know if they will happen or not.  We spend our time thinking and worrying about things that might not even happen.  I do that too y’all but it seems to me that is sinful worrying and not trusting God or giving it to Him.  Next time you start to worry about something that might not happen or that maybe will or already has remember that God is in control and to give it to God.  Remember that these momentary afflictions are just that, momentary and soon we will be in Heaven rejoicing with Jesus.  All pain and sorrow will be gone! What a glorious day it will be!

    That's a great thought, when you are meeting trouble, you are easily groaning why I am in this situation, while you mostly forget the almighty god is with you, and he will protect you and guide you a way to overcome them. It is very hard to keep calm when you are not in a smooth mode, but you have to pray more, and the more you keep lord in your mind, the less panic you will be when you meet with trouble, and less impatience will you have too.

    Thanks for sharing. A great reminder. Life is just a temporary prep for the next. I was thinking of the verse “I go to prepare a place for you” this morning. This reminds me of a parent excitedly making preparations for a grown child to come home 🏡 for the holidays. He awaits us with joy.

Perfect peace

The wind. The rain. The clouds.  Sunsets.  Cool air. To some people those things might not bring a sense of peace and comfort but to me it’s amazing.  It’s so peaceful and beautiful.  I could stay outside all the time when it’s like that. Peaceful.  Calming.  But there’s a peace that’s even greater than that.  There is a peace that can only come from Christ.  There is a peace that passes all understanding. “The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect  peace, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all [ a ] comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:7 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."  John 14:27   "O Lord , You have searched me and known me . You know [ a ] when I sit down and [ b ] when I rise up...

It’s a new year

Man I’ve turned 35.  I’m another year older. I guess it’s only downhill from here I guess or uphill haha.  I’d like to say I’m another year wiser and that I’m more like Christ and I definitely think I’m more like Christ. I think God has given me more wisdom also.  I’m just not anywhere near where I want to be.  Today was just another day really.  I didn’t really do much to celebrate it.  I went to Starbucks with a sweet friend who gave me a present.  I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t really have a party or anything even though other friends had had parties.  I realized that I was just being selfish and self focused. Sometimes I feel like I’m invisible or that people don’t notice me as much but even that is being self focused.  I was wanting a party so I could be with people and celebrate but I was also just wanting attention. I was thinking about this one time one of my friends Kaycee had one of our friends Laura make me a cake for m...

My journey of Faith and how God has guided me

Image
                           “A man’s heart plans his way but the Lord directs His steps.”  Proverbs 16:9 I’ve been thinking about this verse a lot lately and how true it has been in my life.  When I went home for Christmas after I graduated with my MDiv in Missions in December my plan was to find a biblical counseling internship somewhere.  I had looked different places but nothing had worked out. I looked on the biblical counseling website which is the website for the Association of Certified Biblical Counseling.  I had looked at Washington and it didn’t work out and I looked in Oregon and one of the first names I saw was Mitch Lamotte.  On December 29 I emailed Mitch Lamotte from Southwest Hills Baptist Church about doing a biblical counseling internship at their church.  He told me about the biblical counseling pastor at the church, Kerry Francetice. ...
