I accept this blessing

Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV)

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

 

I thought I was done and I thought this was the finish line.  I submit.  Lord, I accept this blessing.  More to come…

When insomnia leads to finding words from Christ


I can’t sleep! No particular reason why. I have my usual problems and have some potential events that could be a blessing. But they aren’t really the reason I’m up still. I did come across this saying. I love it. I love where I am now but I have a feeling deep down that something big is coming. I need to prepare for it!

What worrying really means to a Christian

As a Christian, you learn thru teachings and experience that life here on earth is but a temporary destination and that this is not our true home.  If that is true (which i believe), then why do Christian’s worry so much?  Doesn’t worrying imply that you do not trust what you know to be true?  Francis Chan says it best…

This is something i am currently battling with.  Why do i worry?  Why am i scared?  I know that lord has something planned for me this week and I am excited to see what will unfold.  Again, Why am i so scared of the future?  

My faith and my personal struggle. 

From starting my day with watching miracles from heaven to ending it with linsanity, I now know I need completely faith and submission to the lord.
I have been struggling the past month with what God wants me to do. I prayed for an opportunity and I received it. Now the opportunity just feels more like a burden than a blessing. At times, I ask “why would the lord bless me with something like this?” Or “this can’t be that bad because it’s from God.”  I was down and though it’s hard for me to admit, I was resentful. Faith in good times and faith in bad times…that’s what I am telling myself to get me thru this.
Prayers would be appreciated.
