Trapped

What do you do when you feel like you are up against the wall?? Everything closing in on you...bills due, unexpected bills are due, no food, no money..and to top it off, they are about to tow your car! We hear the regular words of encouragement from people....hang in ther...God will not put more on you than you can bear...He will never leave you nor forsake you...this is only a test of your faith....

But what happens beyond that?? It feels like God does not hear your prayers or does not want to answer....what do you do?

It Is For Me

Alot of times we as singles often wonder when our time to be the next to get married will come. We get impatient and if honest, tired of waiting on God to send us the "one" He has created for us so we go on a scavengar hunt to "help" God out. As if He needs our help. In doing that, we find ourselves, broken hearted, bitter, and mad at the the world. The Word says They that wait upon the Lord.....

Sit back, relax, pursue your dreams and live everyday as if it were your last. In due season all of our time will come.

Sick of yourself

I have a question. What do you do when you get to the point where you are sick of yoruself?? That's where I have been these past few weeks. I have been sick of myself and everything about me. Ontop of that, I've been feeling this "pull", this urgency to turn and go back. With both of those feelings combined, I have been a time bomb waiting to explode. After ot eing able to handle it any longer, I went to a woman that I knows is a praying, fasting, women and had a talk with her about my feelings. Now, this is the part that's gonna blow your mind. She didn't tell me anything I wasn't already hearing in my spirit. But it was as if right at that moment, I knew what I had to do.

When you get to that place where you are getting sick of yourself, that' when you need to gird up your wings and pray ernestly to God. Isolate yourself, and remove yourself from situations you are in and turn to HIM. He's trying to get your attention.

Some type of way

Lately I have been feeling some type of way about things in my life. There's nothing really major that' going on just the little things that I am having a hard time getting done and accomplished that has me bogged down right now and it's nerve wrecking.

What do you do when you have moments like this?

Getting it together

For the past couple of days, I have been "feeling some type of way". With so much on my mind, I could not figure out where to start or what to do with the thoughts I was having. Then it dawned on me and I knew that God is not the author of confusion and that I just needed to slow my mind down, pull everything into focus and pay attention to what thus says the Lord. I asked a friend of mine why doesn't God just deal with you with one thing at a time?? why does He Have to deal with all your particular issues at once?? And she said because God wants us healthy, happy, and whole and we can't be that way if we are surrounded by a bunch of broken pieces.
Make sense?? Think about it....I"ll wait!

The sun is starting to shine

Instead of seeing thing with your natural eye, learn to see things how God sees them. We all have our ups and downs, our trying times, and times where our patience is tested on a consisten basis but through it all, God is still in control and if you focus on the light at the end of the tunnel, you will see that the sun is starting to shine. We look at our problems with a maginfying glass and make them bigger than what they are.

Consistency

We often pay attention to the things that we cook, making sure the batter is the right consistency before we put that cake into the oven or the pancakes on the griddle. We make sure to pay attention and watch over our food carefully. What about our bodies?? Are we taking that same kind of consistency with our bodies?? Are we eating foods that are going to help or harm ourselves. What about our spiritual being?? Are we consistency feeding it the word of God?? Or are we starving it to death?
