Look to Him

     Who do you look to when things don't go your way? Who do you run to when your world has been turned upside down? Who do you count on when your best friend thinks your crazy or do you turn to someone you think you can trust only to find out they no longer want anything to do with you because some rumor has been started about you that could be furthest from the truth. 

     Or maybe a family member has betrayed you or maybe your in over your head dealing with a love one who has been diagnosed with cancer or some other form of sickness and you think your world is over. Or maybe you are being forced to lay down something that holds the deepest part of your soul. Or maybe you are dealing with stupid people and their games and you've had enough and your wondering when the game will turn on them so there will finally be justice.

     Or maybe your lonely. No one understands you. No one cares. When was the last time someone really listened to you? Or maybe your in over your head because of the choices you've made and the person your with don't believe the way you believe. Or maybe you think the God of this universe has forgotten all about you and has left you in this wilderness to walk around without a way of getting out.. Maybe you just need answers. 

     I can tell you, I can relate in all the above situations. However, these last few months have been the worst  and the best of my life. I have had to deal with the death of my brother while asking where were you, Lord. I am not ashamed of asking God where He's been in my life because I know in time, He will answer all my questions with one of His own...did you really look to Me for the solutions to your life’s problems? Finally after all these years, it took the death of my brother and everything that has come after it,  for me to finally get what He has been trying to tell me for years.

     My answer, my epiphany came in the form of a song. Here are the lyrics and my hope and prayer is you will also find your answer and know that the only thing left to do is to look to Him. For He is everything you and I need in any circumstances.

Look to Him

I know the Bible says

When You've done all you can to stand just stand

and I know it's hard sometimes 

to look through those tear stained eyes

and still see the scars in those hands

but just you keep this in mind, when hope seems so hard to find

surely you've not reached the end

when the whole world has let you down

Jesus can still be found

When you've tried it all 

Look to Him

Look to Him, for He only

when sorrow makes lonely

and the day and the night close in

He can vanish the midnight

and He'll call back your sunlight

How will it end 

Look to Him

Now I know that questions can

Lord they can seem so hard to understand but then

But I know someone who knows it all

His eyes see even that little sparrow fall

Yet He can hold back the sea with just one hand

He's so big He rides on the wind that blows 

Yet in your heart the only one that knows 

the heartache and all the trouble you're in

When life seems everything but good

Remember Him cause He's the only one that could

If you'd only dare 

Look to Him

(repeat chorus)

Some people have it and some don't. 

Some want it and others wish there was a magical formula so they could have more.

Some think its in the way they dress.

Some think they have to be high and mighty above the rest.

Some want others to bow to them because they seem to reek with it or so they perceive in their own mind while others struggle just to keep their mind in tact where the fact remains if one looks to close to their lives they'd would see all their cracks.

Whether you're young or old, your never to old, 

Short or fat, it's how you react

Rich or poor, 

Your life can be measured by how you lived.

And once you are ready to go home, one thing you should know,

It isn't the work you've done but how you walked without having lukewarmness being your guide. 

So go find it, live it, and remember CONFIDENCE is at the heart of it all.

God Bless.    

Life Doesn't Always Turn Out

Life doesn't always turn out the way you want or plan for it. Sometimes life just kicks you in the butt...and hard. There are times when life and its problems can knock you for a loop while it comes up behind you and try's to take you out without you being aware sending you on a endless rollercoaster ride.

However, what try's to kill you can only make you stronger if you let it. Over the past few months, problems and stupid things have attacked my family with the intent of taking us out of this world. I must say, on several occasions I thought we were goners. 

Yet here we are, still standing, continuing the fight, and putting one foot in front of the other because that's all we can do for now and its the only thing God has required of us as we step out, and begin again, and rejoin the race while giving everything over into God's hand. He will bend down, meet us where we are at and begin to encourage us to fight the good fight of faith. 

He will also lead and guide to the path He has designed since before the beginning of time all the while promising to be that friend who will stick closer than a brother. While He may not take the pain and suffering away, He will make a way and make all things new; but we have to let Him.

So I ask this question, are you in the fight of your life? Then be still and know He is God and all things work together for good who loves Him.

God Bless.

No Matter

No matter what oh may think if The Bible series, you still should be able to get your emotions stirred up with the crucifixion scene. Every time I see the scene played out in any movie or story, it moves me to tears.

Just wondering what Jesus thought, what He felt, and why He didn't scream out to be saved. What did He think when He saw His mother there with Him?

I know He felt grieved and counted it all joy to take on my sins, but being human I have to wondered what He really thought. Yes, I know His battle was in the garden but still....what did He really think.

For me, I would have blasted every single one of those people. Thank heavens I am not Jesus. As a mother, I would have done everything in my power to keep it from happening to my baby. As a daughter, there is no way I would want my mother or father to see me going through something that horrible, yet Jesus did.

I know He had to make all things new but still, even after everything, what was He thinking? Yes, I know He was looking ahead and saw mr and you, and He was a willing participant from the foundation of the world but don't you wonder if He had other thoughts on His mind?

Forget about His pain from the beatings, and the thumping of His head because of the thorns, or the thirst He felt, or the thought that every step he took was painful and with each step brought Him closer to death.

Have you ever wondered if He thought about His love for Mary? I believe He had to be in love with her for the bible states He felt what we feel but I have no prove unlike the so called that code movie.

Many people talk about what people's last words are in life before crossing over but few talk about their thoughts. Yet most of the time, they come out any way it depends on whether you listen for them as you struggle to swallow your grief.

I just can't help wonder what Jesus truly thought of that day as He walked amongst His peers but one thing I can be truly happy about is that no matter what they were, it wasn't enough to change His mind about His mission and purpose and that He still went to the cross to save a nosy sinner like me.

God Bless.

Another Blast

http://www.wfaa.com/news/texas-news/powerful-exploson-rocks-town-north-of-waco-203508001.html

In as many days, I am once again sending out my thoughts and prayers not just to individuals but to a whole town which just exploded. According to the news the town maybe leveled and as many as ten buildings are on fire, one being a middle school.

My heart goes out not only to the townspeople but also to all the employees who were working in the factory and who may or may not be hurt. My thoughts goes out to office workers, CFO, board members, and all executives who may or may not been aware of something like this could happen.

My thoughts turn to the possible family members of the townspeople who may live outside the area or state as they rush to get their things together for the journey they must now are forced to take,

May love resign supreme in this trying time and forgiveness and grace run freely to all who are in need and may the God of this nation forgive us as once again, we are forced to look at our nation as a whole.

For all us who may have felt to pray today for factories and thought it was stupid, thank The Lord we live under His grace and His mercies are new every morning. May we wake up, take up, and stand up for this great nation and may tomorrow be the start of God's hand returning towards this great nation for if we ever needed Him, now is the time.

Once again, my thoughts and prayers go out to this town located in this great nation and God Bless America!

Have You Had Enough Yet?

Have you had enough with a family member, your bills you can't pay, a spouse you wish would get the hint and leave you alone already, or how about that kid who thinks you nothing but an ATM machine?

For me personally. It's all the above. If I one thing more on my plate, I am not sure I can be responsible for what I do next. Personally, I am on the verge of giving up and calling it a day. In fact calling it quits on this thing called life.

If truth be told, I am tired, frustrated, and beyond angry. I am tired of people getting all up in my business. I am tired of people telling me how I need to act and feel. Last time I checked, I am a big girl who can make her own decisions and I am tired of people getting angry at my corny choices in life and or for blaming me for something I didn't do or didn't do to their satisfaction.

I am tired of dream killers. That is exactly what it is. Anything that takes me away from my dreams is a killer and the last time I looked, the bible calls killers a sin. Most of the time, people don't know they are doing it for all appearances, they only care about what they think.

So my prayer that in time, I will let the negative things and people go and allow God arise and let Him see to my dreams for He knows what He is doing in my life. It is also my prayer whoever may read this will also get rid of the negativity and seems their sights on reaching their goals and dreams God has imparted in our lives.

God Bless.

The Bombing of Boston

It makes me sick that someone thought it would be okay to shoot up people with homemade bombs on the shores of the United States.

Are we on the verge of another 911? Or are we on the verge of a civil war? Or are we dealing with some sick people who need to be locked up and have the key thrown away?

Is security on your mind tonight? Are you wondering where this world is heading especially in America? If you have read the bible just once, you should be able to read the signs of the time. We are close to something major happening.

What is about to take place is possibly the full blown tribulation or the return or Jesus Christ; possibly both. All I know is this world is going to hell in a hand basket and its a crazy life outside of Jesus. However if your still breathing and I'm stilling breathing and the clouds haven't parted than we must find a way to live on this planet until Jesus makes His trumpet return.

We must get serious and start to seek His face not only for ourselves but for America, I heard Perry Stone say we don't need a restoration but a reformation of American. We need to reform our government, our laws, our schools, and our way of life. We need to quite making light of things as we drink a drink and smoke a smoke or light up like a Christmas tree because we have some weed we just got off the thug on the street corner.

We need to put down the drink, stop keeping up with the Kardasian's, and stop being like the Jones. We need to hit our knees and be willing to sit in a service and wait until He speaks on our part to change this nation. We must be willing to work a little bit, pray a little harder, and speak less, and love more.

We must get the Creator of the universe back into the picture and let Him arise in America, in the world, and ourselves. Nothing is going to change unless we become like Jacob and wrestle with God and don't let Him go until He blesses America again.

We must get serious and get God involved or otherwise, these kinds of things will continue to happen. We must remember just like pervious generations will have to stand and be accounted for what happen during their lifetime, so will we. My hope and prayer is we will get it and get serious and the next thing that goes off is the movement of Christ and His Spirit that will touch every town, every state, and then every country in the world.

God Bless.
