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
