Over and underneath

Whew, I'm tired tonight. This weeks been a bit spontaneous. But "spear of the moment" has always been my life pretty much in a nutshell. I'm not complaining though, it keeps things kind of exciting. Well I really don't have awhole lot to say tonight, so I'm just gonna ramble on for a bit... I have though realized lately that over the last month I've really let my mind become preoccupied with unnecessary worry, anticipation, and chaos. Honestly, I've allowed it to wonder out there way further than I ever should have. But all is good and I'm clearing my mind little by little. God never said life wouldn't be a fight, if your life is easy then something is terribly wrong. It seems as though God puts obstacles in our life so we can learn more about ourselves and better our relationship with Him...



"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? - But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."





Just always know God will take care of you. I did not say God would make life easy for you. He loves you, but you will suffer, you will experience hardships and stumble in your faith. That is all normal. But God will always be there for you with his unfailing love and mercy before, during, and at the end of it all. When all things seem hopeless, open up your heart to Him and He will lead you down a beautiful path. It is in those times of misery that we can truly see and appreciate the good. If we don't suffer, then life wouldn't be near as beautiful.






My everyday prayer :)
Lord I will wait on YOU, YOUR timing, YOUR best. In the process, help me to learn and gain what I'm supposed to and not just pass it by....looking to the next step. Help me to live in the present and enjoy each breath, because it is a gift from only You. Thank you Jesus for your peace and hope...and for the fresh wind You put in my sails.





Love you all

Live Out Loud!




You see God is longing to reveal His love to us and simply fellowship with His kids, which inturn causes a burning message on the inside of us, that can't help but ignite everyone we come in contact with. The secret to success in every area of our lives, is HIM. Hangout with God and you will be launched into your destiny. You will be at the right place at the right time and meet the right people, meant to run this race with you. You will be bold and fear free, because you know who you are in Christ. No one and nothing can stop you from accomplishing God's perfect will. So dream, dream so big and so loud, that every fiber of your being screams of why you were created. Expect God's best and never settle for anything less! God has made you His righteousness and this is the only way you, a child of God, can truly live!





Right now I am learning and I am growing and there are times when I don't know what I am doing, I don't know where I am walking or even how to walk. But I always have to trust that God has my best interest in mind. And I will fall and mess up but it is really up to me whether or not I choose to keep walking. There are times that I feel like there is no one in the world that can relate to me but it is in those times of loneliness that I can draw close to God. And there are times that I feel like I am broken and there is nothing left in me but God looks at me and sees me as an instrument that can still be played.


The true keys in life are to learn, unlearn and relearn!

One step at a time


So this blogging thing should be a lot of fun.

God is a God of justice he sees every wrong that's has ever been done and if you keep your peace he'll make your wrongs right, he'll take what you thought was a set back, what you thought was a disadvantage, and turn it around and use it to your advantage.
Love to all,
Maranda
