So many things going on...so little time

Sometimes life comes at you fast. Sometimes you are ready and sometimes you are not so ready! So much has happened to me to change my life in the last year but I got a feeling more is going to happen to me this year to change my life than any year I have seen yet. I plan on making a BIG move VERY soon. Honestly, I don't even know why now but I guess when you trust God's plan you move when He says move and you don't give it too much thought. To give it too much thought would think me right out of the direction the Spirit is moving in. Never thought I would see that day when I would be okay with leaving Kansas City for awhile. I know nothing in life is permanent but I never thought I would have the guts to go even though I always knew that change had to come so that all the things that are within me could come out. As Theo always says, "God is coming after His investments. The things He has placed within you, He wants a return on." Boy oh boy is He right about that. I mean anytime God wants to take me somewhere He just up and does it. He does it so fast and so smoothly though I hardly see it coming until I am knee deep in it! LOL I stopped trying to force God's hand because that in and of itself is lunacy. You cannot get God to do things your way not matter how hard you pray. IF you really belong to HIM then it will be fine to let Him do His thing in your life. Well let me take that back because that sounds so easy. It should be easy but at times its very difficult. Its difficult because we sometimes have a different idea about how things should go. We many times have it all figured out. Heck, I know I did. I knew what God was gonna do! I knew where He was taking me and I was sure he was taking me the way I saw it. (Buzzer sound) Wrong answer! Things never ever go the way I want them to...They rarely go the way I think they will and they hardly turn out the "easy" or "simple" way. So in essence I realize that what I think is best is never best and what I think is right for me is hardly ever right and so I have to trust God. My mind is just too finite for me to be able to make it on my own.

It's Time to Get Off the Fence

     Either you're for me or you're against me this is what Jesus said in Matthew 12:30. These are harsh words to some people, but it's a matter of loyalty to God. Are you going to go all in or keep one foot out because it's convenient? He also said if you're not gathering you're scattering. It's every believer's responsibility to draw others to Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:11)       It's relatively black and white. You're either pursuing a relationship with Christ or you're pulling back. Luke 9:62 says, “But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”(NASB)  It's so easy for people to say things like, "well there's more than one way to Heaven." Jesus said differently. He is the Way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6)  Convenience tells us to be neutral. One problem: Jesus wasn't neutral. He was radical....

Sufferings

"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." - Romans 8:18 I have to say that the scripture above never really had as deep a meaning as it has had in the last couple years, months, weeks, etc. of my life. Most people who know me personally or are following my blogs know my story to some extent. It's that I am: currently unemployed, living with my parents (again) after losing my job in Wichita, Ks. About 3 months before I lost my job, I suffered a seizure at the wheel and got into a horrendous car wreck; losing my driving privileges for 6 months and totaled out my vehicle (that I was still paying for without current insurance since I was recovering from the 2010 unemployment issue). Yeah, yeah, yeah...you all have heard my story. I have told it so many times I think I am even tired of hearing it. To say that I have had some challenges would be an understatement. To say that it has bee...

Patient with Me

     One of the best qualities that exists in God is His patience.  The very first phrase is 1 Corinthians 13:4 is, “Love is patient.” (NIV) When I think about true love, I have to align my expectations with the Only True and wise God- with Jesus. He is the purest form of love. (1 John 4:8b) I think the most transcendent characteristic of the Lord is that He is patient. Not only is He patient, but He suffers long with us.       What is long suffering? From what I understand, it is made up of 2 different words in Greek that are long and temper. That in essence means, God has restraint even when He is upset.  He is not quick to retaliate or punish because of His displeasure. How many of us can say that we are like this? Psalm 103:8 describes it like this, “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.”(ESV)      When we look at the World around us we see that no one is patient. No one is willin...
