I have
been going through the motions of the sudden difficulties of life. Days were
both my husband and I are struggling to make ends meet. Ramen noodles, oatmeal,
red beans and rice, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have been on rotation
for the past few weeks in are apartment. Uplifting smiles from our baby boy
have been keeping us hopeful. It's been tough living pay check to pay check. We
have more bills than money right now, but we still smiling.
We are
uncomfortable where we are at right now. I believe that God is preparing us for
something greater soon. For most people, once they start feeling like they are
losing a grasp onto reality they start to doubt the process that God is trying
to bring them through. The problem with those types of situations to me is that
you can never just walk alone.
There
comes a yearning for motivation, inspiration, and empowerment to help someone
get through those tough times. For Christian walk is not cakewalk. The bible
says that God does not afflict His children willingly (Lamentations 3:33). He
won't bring you to face the pain and frustrations of life without seeing you
through!
God has
created such a discomfort in me to desire a deeper kind of change. A change
within my mind, heart, and spirit. He wants me to grow a more intimate
relationship with Him. He wants for my husband to feel the same way too.
Therefore, I know there had to be a change within our day to day lives.
God has
truly given me strength and courage to walk by faith and not by sight. Even
though my situation doesn't look good it is working out for the good. Things in
my everyday life won't always be like this, and I must keep the faith. I must
be encouraged through my shortcomings and uplifted through my downfalls.
Remember
that if God is taking you through a difficult season or through and pain and
suffering and you see no purpose in it; set yourself apart and press towards
Jesus! Lay your burdens down on the
altar before Him. You must know that God is in control.
God is
revealing more of who He is and what He can do each day. Look at it like this;
God’s work has your attention and He's waiting to see your next move. Will that
next move be towards Him?

ReplyDeleteI wasn't raised Christan my Mother was a wiccan prestist I have spiritual gifts . I was always taught my gifts were bad and that I should not pay attention to them. But as of now I have had no choice but to develop them. I am confused though, because i was told I needed to be in church, I tried to go and had strange things happen to the couple that brought me. So this made me stay home and away from everyone. I feel I am ment for something powerful but I guess from all my years of denying me I have lost my way. What can I do and why now.
