Stepping Out!

The past few months have been the most challenging time in my 30’s. Lots of changes have occurred. My aunt whom I adore with all of my heart moved back to West Virginia, which I am so glad that she is happy, but I sure miss her.

I’ve learned to adapt to changes. I met some of the most amazing people on a cruise that I went on in May. People that will always hold a place in my life.

My strength and passion to write has been tested. I’ve realized that you should never take for granted those people that want to be apart of your life, and even though life will move on, but God tends to place people in your life for a reason. The most important part in my eyes is to never lose sight of your vision. Life can become so busy, so overwhelming, discouraging, tears may fill your eyes and it is okay to shed them.

As much as life throws your way, never lose sight of who you are and who you are becoming. Never let your life become so busy that you tune out Gods call on your life. This past week, after talking with my sister for a bit who and visiting her children. I drove out to the lake and sat there and read 5 Chapters of the book of Romans. God never said it would be easy, but he did said “Trust ME.” There are times in life that we just have to step out on Faith and Trust God that everything is going to be okay.

Right now in my own life I am not understanding why things are happening the way they are and why there is so much evil, but I do know that with Gods help I will overcome anything that is sent my way.

We as humans cannot fight the monsters alone. Monsters are everywhere to try and take your joy. We must overcome the monsters, and trust God to carry us through the storm.

With 2 semesters of Grad school to go I am very thankful for the storms in my life and thankful for opportunities to grow and strengthen my faith. I’m not sure where God is going to guide or place me, but I know that I’m willing to go no matter what.

I’m very thankful for a sister that is willing to talk to me, encouragement, listen, voice her opinion (I may not listen, LOL), laugh, and even shed tears, but no matter what I know that she will be there. We may not be biological sisters, but family is not always blood.

August 10– Devotion from Jesus Calling

Relax in my healing, holy presence. Allow me to transform you through this time alone with me. As your thoughts center more and more on me, trust displaces fear and worry. Your mind is somewhat like a seesaw. As your trust in Me goes up, fear and worry automatically go down. Time spent with me not only increases your trust; it also helps you discern what is important and what is not.

Energy and time are precious, limited entities. Therefore, you need to use them wisely, focusing on what is truly important. As you walk close to me, saturating your mind with Scripture, I will show you how to spend your time and energy. My word is a lamp to your feet; my presence is a light for your path.

Have a blessed day!!
