SHOCKER!!!

You know how things come in seasons?! Wow...I have never recalled having such a season as the one I am in. It feels like there are SHOCKERS left and right. In every area of my life, I have had some major shockers that include my job being rocked, friends suddenly passing away or moving. It just feels like one blow after another!! Now I sit back and look on the past months and it seems all I see is rubble and destruction from what was there. I feel I am left to pick up all this mess.
However, I do know that the last sentence is where my insanity cycle would probably begin to take action again. I always feel like I have to do something; like I have to take action. And that is probably a true statement. However, I have always taken action by trying to fix the problem. Well, I am not gonna do that this time. I am going to take action by relaxing and trusting in God. I will not short-change Him this time. He is God and He will fix it all.

Even though I see a mess right now, I will choose to remember the good times in all these shockers. I will remember God is in control and His thoughts are higher. I am comforted reading....

Isaiah 55:9-11 For as the the sky soars high above the earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think. Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth, doing the work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, so will the words that come out my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them.

Whoa bro...tough words!

 So, here I am at camp with the youth from our church. Went to service in the chapel last night totally ready to get my Jesus on. And then it happen. The speaker drops a truth bomb that really made me think and kind of shook me. His  words were, “If  you are a worrier, then you’re acting as an atheist.”  Well bro, ouch. Why does it hurt so bad? Probably because I was currently sitting there  with a daunting worry of my own. My thoughts and my concerns were consumed by this one task that I am truly afraid of.  If anybody knows me, you know that I’m a control freak. I like to plan out a day and know what’s coming next so that I can prepare myself for whatever is to come. That’s pretty much the opposite of faith. God called us to truly trust Him and sit back and relax knowing that He has our back. It’s super hard for me to do. My insecurities jump out and my fear of looking like a fool or looking like a less than I am it’s flashing bright as an alert to me. But today I  choose to belie

My Secrets

OK, I'm gonna get straight to it. I was wondering why it doesn't really matter if people find out secrets about me these days. See, these secrets use to keep me in bondage. They use to paralyze me. I isolated myself and chose not to make a lot of close relationships in fear of what others may think of me. Thank God I don't live that way anymore. But when did the change happen? Where did my boldness and confidence come from? This is what I have come to the conclusion of: the people that I know and have confidence to have my back and support me outweighs those whom I fear may judge and hate. And this is a good place to be. It hasn't always been this way. But God has brought Mike and I to a safe place. A place where people don't judge. A place where God is truly first and people actually strive for more of Him. A family. A place where I know people would stand up and defend us if anyone tried to attack. A place where we can talk about those secrets that once help us ca
