Time

Funny thing about time is it's free and priceless at the same time; yet so hard to come by. So many of us spend it as though it has no value. We breathe and live and spend as if it all means nothing. Yet; it means everything. Time is not something we are granted by God just cause it's there. Time does not belong to us- it belongs to God. Yet, we misuse it as if it does. I am guilty of this myself. I have to remind myself daily that these days; heck-seconds given to me are a gift from my Creator! I should not take one second for granted because I am not guaranteed another.
When we think this way, and know that God does not have to allow us another breath, we may treasure the ones given to us more! Please, before you EXPECT another second of your life to be given to you- be thankful for the ones God has already allowed you to live!
DON'T TAKE ANY MOMENT OR ANYONE FOR GRANTED!!!
GOD BLESS YOU

Why question His ways?

The Bible tells us that His ways are not our Ways. If we believe what the Bible says, then why can't we let God decide our paths in life and not question "why?"?
I know that it is difficult to go through tough times and have bad things happen to good people. I know that when something bad happens to us, without reason, we feel the need to question "why?". I myself have looked back on several trials in my life and often wondered "why?". However, I have faith in it all and I know that no matter what happens to me, or to those that I love, God has His reasons.
The Bible also tells us that we will go through many trials and we will be tempted. It never states that we won't have these complications in our lives. It also states that whenever we do go through these rough times, God will see us through them. Maybe at the time it doesn't seem fair. Maybe it feels like God is picking on you. Maybe your anger gets the best of you and you just feel hate inside. We are human and those emotions are normal. However, we have to keep them in check. Not allow our human nature to derail us from the life Christ intended for us.
When God placed man on earth, He put Adam and Eve in a "perfect garden". That is how God intended it to be. However, human nature took over and sin was committed. Therefore, we live in the world that we do. So, in times of hardship, trouble, dispair, and unassurance; don't blame God. He wanted our world to be perfect. Sin was let in by human weakness. Don't allow your human weakness to give in to sin! Be strong and have faith!
I believe in my heart that I have a mansion in Heaven. There is that perfect World that God intended for me. All I have to do is believe, have faith, and follow. It's not easy. I faulter. But, I know my God will rescue me from the depths of my own faults and He will place me in Heaven to serve Him well. I choose to serve Him here and to do my best to show those around me that God is awsome and He knows what I need. He will provide where I need. If I do not find relief in this world, I will find it in Heaven! AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS!!!
HAVE FAITH! TRUST! BELIEVE! AND LIVE!!

So many thoughts...So little time....

Have you ever just spent a day, or night, sitting staring into space with your mind running so fast you could hardly hear yourself think?
I do this almost daily! I am always daydreaming, thinking of something else while I am somewhere else, and I don't even think about sleep anymore....
I have often tried to "turn my mind off" and it doesn't work. Sometimes, I think about so much I loose track of where I am or what I am doing. I would loose track of where I was going, but I never have that anyway. LOL I get headaches trying to figure it all out.
I write things in a journal, that helps alot. Excpet when I sit down to read it and then say to myself "What in the world was I think'n". A lot of my thoughts turn to what I am doing at that point in my life and where I want to be. I am sure that a lot of you can relate to this. We all want something more out of life or maybe even something better. I don't sit around and "wish" for things, nothing like that. I am very happy with who I am and where I am. But, I'd be lieing if I didnt' admit that I strive to find something that would make my life a little easier. Especially for my daughters. I hate that they have to struggle so much from day to day.
Anyway, I want to get to the point here before my fingers start listening to the other voices in my head and I forget where I was going with all this...
It hit me the other day; while I am spending this time thinking of new ways to "make my life easier", "sort through my problems", etc...Am I noticing anything around me? If I am missing things around me because I am so concerned with the thoughts (and voices) in my head, then what am I missing?! I could be missing out on the chance that God is giving me to actually answer some of those questions in my head! I am listening to my own self ( and many other voices) instead of shuting up and listening to my Creator!
SO.....just a small shout out to ya....
Shut Up - Listen - and be ready for the answers!!!
