Matthew 28:19-20

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

doubts, tired, but God gives strength

So this past week, made Linds and I SOOo tired. Considering, being home last weekend and this week, her and I ate SOO much food. We gotta chill out on the sweets! I'll get into more of that later. The cool thing is, I was experiencing some doubt shortly after a friend text me they had doubt. I started having doubts about who I am, what I'm doing with Camfel, my self-image, personality, etc. Well, I was talking to another friend on the phone about it, shortly after I had some Jesus time, and I was explaining to them what I was going through. And then literally God spoke to me, right in the midst of me speaking to my friend. It was soo cool! Besides the doubt of what I mentioned just above, I was struggling with a doubt of if I'll ever have a man in my life who is passionate about God, loves God and everything I have been praying for in a man, if not more. Well, God knocked me over the head with that one, He pretty much told me not to worry about it, and he knows the timing. Now, I know that sounds simple, and more like, "uhh..duh Jessie" but if you could experience what I was going through at that moment, it clicked and really uplifted me. It uplifted me so much I shared with my friend, Dorina and Lindsey! At the same time, the friend was experiencing doubt that texted me, got uplifted and filled right at the same time I did! NOW HOW COOL IS THAT!? How are God can take care of all of us at one time! I was so encouraged that night! The thing is, God never leaves us nor forsakes us...even in our toughest situations, where it seems impossible, like we can not continue on, or we doubt we are good enough, or whatever it is, God comes through. Sometimes not in the ways we expect him too. I'm learning so much about patient endurance. Again in my last couple of blogs, patient endurance is enduring the time of being patient...yes, its hard! But you need to persevere because that is the time of growth! Patience is a hard thing..but "patience IS virtue". And during that patient time, that time of endurance..think of all the opportunities you have! Its super crazy! We have to choose to see the positive in every situations, to "MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY" eph.5:16..and sometimes in certain situations, you do your best, and then you gotta leave it alone and give it to God. I wanna encourage you brothers and sisters, to seek the Lord in every situation, endure the patience that you are under in testing, seeking, growing. Make the most of the situation you are in..you can choose to your attitude, and the attitude you have effects your choices, and your choices alter your life!
