Keep Going


I’ve been through many trials, struggles and tests over the years.  My health, relationships, work—many things have been removed from my life and any ONE could be the thing to stop me from trying.  When faced with these seemingly insurmountable situations I’ve cried, prayed, agonized, hollered, questioned and so many more reactions…even thinking that I’d do everyone a favor and not exist…

The thing is, when you’ve given your heart to God, there is a part of you that He always is…no matter what you go through.  As I sit here, waiting once again for an answer from the Lord, I’ve had my down moments and must admit that I’m feeling a bit low even now; but the constant in my life is the deep down, dogged belief that God is in control and that He will restore/resolve whatever is going on in my life.

Nope—I have NO answers right now and I have no idea how things will work out:  I just know that they will.  THIS is what keeps me going.  I’m STILL looking for full time work, yet God has been working on me to take a step in a direction that I would’ve NEVER considered…I’m praying and researching and looking for validation, so if you hear from me understand that I’m trying to do as God is moving me to do.

If you are in a limbo space in life and haven’t gotten your instruction from God yet, don’t lose heart!  He’s working things out on your behalf—OR, He’s waiting for you to get to the place that you are ready for what He has planned—OR, His plan is there, waiting for you to walk into your new space.  Keep going, keep walking, keep trying, keep trusting and have faith, knowing that God is with you!!

He’s been faithful, faithful to me
Looking back, His love and mercy I see
Though in my heart, I have questioned
Even failed to believe
That He’s been faithful, faithful to me.
ONWARD

Staying Focused

When God is on your side, your life is different.  That doesn't mean it's easy, that doesn't mean that there won't be struggle, or waiting, or tests, or disappointments...well, I think you get what I'm saying...

I can truly say that even in my worst times, I never once felt that God wasn't with me.  There were days when all I could say was: ohGodohGodohGodohGodohGod...
It's during these times that I eventually just release, relax and let go.  There's nothing I can do--I have no answers an no results, so I have to let go.  We're allowed to feel frustrated and hurt and tired--what we can't do is let it defeat us!!

I realize that my life isn't about me.  My life is a testimony of Gods goodness and how He takes care of His Children--He is forever faithful; it's the ONLY reason that I keep moving.

Focus on the goodness and keeping power of God.  He didn't bring you to this point in your life to drop you or keep you from getting through.  Put one foot in front of the other and keep your focus on God!
ONWARD
