22 days left!!

So, Linds and I have been in Texas and its been pretty awesome I must say. I never had a desire to come to Texas, but it is really cool! Everyone is so nice and they say, "HOWDY!" haha! I was talking to my grandma (Dad's mom) the other day and I was telling her, "Though this experience has been hard, I'm glad I did this." Yeah, there has been MANY frustrations, No, I probably won't do anything like this again, traveling is intense and tiring. However, God used this hard, desert-like, challenging time in my life for a awesome purpose. Ok, have you ever just felt like you are stuck? Like you almost can't breathe in a situation and you literally can't get out!? You feel just so claustrophobic in the situation you are in that you have no idea how you are going to make it? Yeah, that was me this past semester. However, all of you, and I mean this, when we are weak, God is strong! His strength works best in our weakness. Why?? Because when we are weak, we really realize how weak we are and see how powerful our God is. When we are weak, we are easily at a state where we can humble ourselves. When we come into a situation like this in our lives, its where God gets us on our knees, humbles us, and we are now at a state where we tell him, "Lord, I can't do this without you! I can't breathe, I can't go on, I just can't do this anymore...BUT with your strength, I can continue..so...HELP!!" God loves when we put ourselves in a state where we need help because He's like, "Ok, NOW can I do what I was going to do?!?" LOL. This experience has taught me so much of how God can work through me when I submit. I mean, I have been frustrated about the ministry opportunities on this job, but ya know? My friend Danielle always reminds me, "We can be Jesus without using words." That rings through my mind a lot. I really just want to encourage you all, no matter what you are going through...and I mean NO MATTER WHAT IT IS...death, divorce, relationships crumbling, loneliness, a pet dies (when Molly dies..I will be so sad..Molly is my very old dog), whatever it may be...God can and will help you! Get on your knees, and pray! Nothing is too hard for God! NOTHING! We need to trust everything that happens in our life, and I know divorce, death, is especially not easy, but He has it under control, even when we or others mess up! Jesus loves you so much! You hear me?! You are loved and cared for! And he wants the best for your life, we just have to trust, endure, persevere, and obey! Why don't you just try Jesus? It won't be easy, no, but its SO worth it! And things that are usually hard for us, ends up being worth it. Like working out, which I need to go do! Its hard, but its worth it! Run the race, guys! Seek and never stop!
