​​Truth be told, life never moves any faster than one day at a time. It just can’t. And while we want everything to happen over-night, God doesn’t work for Fed Ex! In fact, God’s timing is completely different than our timing. God is in the past, present and future all at the same time; he is Omnipresent! He knows what will work best and when. He works on our behalf to give us the best life opportunities and this takes time. Just like a baby born too soon can be pre-mature and unhealthy; so can the same be true for God granting us our life long dreams or releasing certain blessings into our hands. Watch "How to Get to the Other Side of THIS" and be ready to receive what you're waiting for! Amen!

​Together we are reaching the world for Jesus!

I’m believing for a move of God in faith, making decisions in faith, living one day at a time and trusting God in faith; but today I’m questioning everything. “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)  I’m wondering if I really heard from God in the first place. I mean, it felt so real and He gave me the signs I asked for by His divine and miraculous intervention. He gives me strength, peace, hope and supplies all my needs. So, you may be wondering what exactly my problem is? Allow me to share THEM with you. My problem is patience. My problem is waiting. My problem is not knowing 100 %, for sure, that God is going to do what He has told me. Oh, and my problem is that sometimes I think I’m just a little crazy and not really hearing from God.

This is what I know for sure; I must work through this season to get from one side to the other, or…… I’m going to die in this wilderness of waiting. There is too much hope inside me envisioning a successful, fruitful and amazing future that’s keeping me from giving up or stopping me from pursuing my dreams. I must push forward and make it to my promised land. But the agony of the wait is so draining.

Can you relate to any of this? Have you waited or been waiting for something in your own life or in someone else’s life to happen that you’ve had little or no control over? Have you ever heard from God but then questioned if that was really Him or your own imagination? Have you lived one day at a time going through the motions that were once fun and fulfilling; but now feels draining and makes you want to run away screaming for relief? Then yes…………….. You do understand!

Truth be told, life never moves any faster than one day at a time. It just can’t. And while we want everything to happen over-night, God doesn’t work for Fed Ex! In fact, God’s timing is completely different than our timing. God is in the past, present and future all at the same time; he is Omnipresent! He knows what will work best and when. He works on our behalf to give us the best life opportunities and this takes time. Just like a baby born too soon can be pre-mature and unhealthy; so can the same be true for God granting us our life long dreams or releasing certain blessings into our hands.

We must be ready to receive what we’re waiting for. This includes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual readiness. If we can’t diligently manage the next level God is preparing us for; we could harm ourselves, harm others, hinder our own success or create a big mess. But since God loves us too much to give us something we aren’t ready for yet, we wait. There’s are so many reasons we may be waiting; but the best response we can offer to God while He works our life out for good is this; trust Him in the wait!

The best advice I can give you while you wait is this: Never give up. Keep praying, keep pressing into Jesus and keep your eyes fixed upon the Lord at all times. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. He is deceitful and will do whatever he can to make you quit or become distracted. “The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” (John 10:10)

And while you may lose focus and hope at times; while you may lose your mind at times; pick yourself up as soon as possible and keep on keeping on because you must fight the good fight of faith. “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” (1 Timothy 6:12)
​
You will get to the other side, one day at a time with God’s supernatural hand upon you, leading you and guiding you into all truth. You are almost there! It will be on the other side of THIS that you can look back and find the good in the wait. Find God in the wait. See the Lord’s faithfulness in the wait. And hopefully you will say with certainty in your heart; it was worth the wait!
Amen!

While you wait; pray. When you don't know the answers; pray.
Whatever season you are in; pray. If you need a miracle; pray.
Don't say or believe there’s nothing you can do. It's time to pray and pray more. Watch God break open the heavens in blessings and love for you.
But it will all happen in HIS timing!
You may be in a season of wait, but God's word says; "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

I don’t “sit well”, and I never have. I like to clean, accomplish tasks, organize, go places, do things and be productive. As a matter of fact, my “fit bit” calls me an over achiever! (Big Smile!) Sitting still is a waste of time to me. What can I accomplish anyway, by doing nothing? When I’m still I can’t relax. My mind spins out of control with worry, analyzing life, stressing over my “to do list” and thinking about things I have no control over.

And that’s just it! I hate not having control. I want to plan life out perfectly. But in all my years of experiences, you’d think I’d know better by now. I mean, nothing ever works out perfectly anyway. I may find myself in the places, times and circumstances I really wanted; but consider the process it took to get there. It wasn’t always quick, fun, pretty or easy. But I got there. So, why do I plan and expect perfection? Well, because life hurts and I want to protect myself from the pain. And haven’t we all had enough of that? I know I have. People have hurt me, disappointments have bombarded me, frustrations have bogged me down, and I’ve hurt myself with choices I’ve made.

To make it worse, when I’m still, crazy feelings and turmoil deep from my soul, slowly rise up and want me to interact with them. They fight for my attention with anxiety and fear. Sometimes I get back up, start moving and begin working on my next task to avoid the uncomfortable feelings. But other times I’m so exhausted, frustrated and burned out; I have no choice but to face these monstrous feelings and thoughts head on and sit with them.

I’ve discovered that confronting my “inner craziness” on my own doesn’t work. Who am I to fight with deep rooted bitterness, pain, loss, anger, pride, negativity, or sin that I can’t overcome? I need strength and a power greater than myself. If I truly want to live for Christ and allow him first place in my life, I have to surrender myself to him, trust him, pray, read the word and speak the word of God over my life; understanding that control is just an illusion.

Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)  I have to ask myself, what have I been doing or trying to make happen on my own without trusting God? This causes worry and stress. This puts all the pressure and anxiety on me and places my faith in myself and not in God. The word also says, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7)  This alerts my spirit that I’ve been carrying burdens and fears I was never meant to carry. I don’t have to hold onto worry, I can cast it onto Jesus and he will care for me and give me peace and direction. And as for sin in my life; I’m sick of it. The consequences of trying to do life on my own and be in control aren’t worth fighting for. I want God’s will. Therefore, I will sit and be still. Face my problems head on and give them over to Jesus. He helps me, leads me on paths of righteousness and calms my soul with peace that surpasses all understanding. “he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.” (Psalm 23:3)

For today, I’m done trying to be in control and being a busy body to mask my pain. I choose to sit for awhile at the feet of Jesus; permit him to consume me with his love, listen for his voice and allow him to lead me in everlasting joy, while he sees me through my trials and pain.

We can’t be in control of life and all its circumstances. But we can choose to trust Jesus Christ with our lives and all he has for us. I’m thankful for such an amazing God and his love for me! I’m thankful for a peace and joy that is not an illusion; but a gift to be enjoyed now and forever. Amen!

The longer the Lord blesses me with life, the greater experience I gain and understand that troubles are always on the rise. Sometimes I feel like throwing up my hands, saying I quit and giving into my irritations. But this is when I'm learning that I need to press into Jesus even more, seek Him for the wisdom, hope, peace and strength I need for every day living. This is when I need to remind myself that God is always in control and He has a plan better and bigger than I can dream of or imagine for my life. This is when I need to stop moving, get still and seek the face of God with great expectation and much prayer. It's during the tough times that my faith grows stronger, and when I surrender  my heart more to the Lord, I gain a fresh perspective on how amazing is His love! It's so amazing! 
"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." (Ephesians 3:18)

It’s brilliant and easy to display a perfectly happy and charming presence on social media; but follow me around for a week and you’ll be certain to get a genuine view of my authenticity. While your reality may look different than mine, I can assure you it’s also similar. We have good days and bad days. We say and do things we should and shouldn’t. We love some and can’t stand others. We do what we say and sometimes we don’t. We follow the rules and sometimes we disobey them. Sometimes we succeed but sometimes we fail. Truthfully, none of us have it altogether, but we like to make it appear that way. We enjoy sharing glorious moments, laughter and celebrations much more than letting people see our screw ups, weaknesses and failures. But this is where I want to be different! This is where I understand how being vulnerable helps us grow and recognize truth in us. So allow me to share a glimpse into my reality today.

I’m angry, hurt, frustrated and feeling unjustified. What started off as a straightforward agreement between my husband and me regarding one of our children, ended in a heated, angry argument. We’ve been through enough marital counseling to know how to be productive and fair in a disagreement; but needless to say, that’s not easy to practice in an explosion of emotions. While he says I’m being irrational and emotional; I’m saying he is treating one child differently and going back on our agreement. While all the while the love of Christ is NOT shining through our hearts and the atmosphere of peace in our home isn’t even a fleeting thought. It’s now a battle of who gets their way and why; while each demands they are right.

Our argument happened HOURS ago and I still don’t know the outcome or have the answers. But I do know what I am supposed to do and how to handle it. I know that in order to gain peace back into my soul, marriage and home; I must pray and submit myself to God and His will, letting go of my own agenda and releasing all my pride. I know that instead of focusing on my feelings, I need to focus on the word of God and pray for him to soften our hearts. I know that holding onto anger, unforgiveness and bitterness is unproductive and has never won an argument before; but the love of God never fails.”(Psalm 136:1)  I also know it’s all easier said than done; but God is my strength in my weakness. “Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

And while I’d love to sulk around, stay mad, prove my point and be the one who comes out right; God wants me to act in love and compassion, giving grace and mercy as he gives me. I know from past experiences that in these momentary trials that seem so trivial and ridiculous; they are truly moments of opportunity that tests my faith and obedience. I don’t have to live to prove myself to anyone; but I need to live to please the one who loves me more than anyone else.

I don’t want to be a hypocrite. I don’t want to preach the word to you and not live it out. I don’t want to give you fake smiling pictures of me while my heart holds onto unforgiveness, keeping me from living out God’s calling. I don’t want to make you believe I have it all together, when I simply do not! And I don’t want to pray and ask God to meet all my needs and expect him to pour out blessing upon, me when I won’t even obey his word.

 The Bible says this; “But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too." (Mark 11:25)

So it’s time to push my feelings aside, surrender my pride and do what God says. It’s time to do what hurts for a moment but produces fruit, faith and peace. I’m going to forgive and move forward, upholding an attitude of love and kindness just as Jesus instructs me to do! I am going to forgive and say, “I’m sorry.”
