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."

His ways are Higher than our ways...
So, those of you who keep up with my blog..haha, (its ok if there is none, its all good), you probably sensed I was going through a difficult time out here. Well, God is good. I mean I'm not saying it won't get hard ever, but the Lord proves Himself faithful even when we are faithless. I guess the past couple weeks I just was hanging on, stressing out, trying to figure out to the point of exhaustion, why the Lord called me here. And ya know? I STILL don't have an answer..but you know what...ITS OK!!! I"m finally okay with trusting God that He will reveal His purpose in time. Do you ever just get sick and tired of trying to figure out things for yourself? Trying to do things on your own?? Man, I still get exhausted and I try doing it on my own..and I CAN"T!!! The thing is, there is crap that is going to happen in your life...and the thing is God is going to use that for good. Yeah, it seems impossible. It could be something from one extreme of "God, how are you going to find me a car?" to "God, I have this sickness..what are you going to do now?" or "God, my friend died, what the heck!?" Where are you?! The thing is, God is always there and always present. Sometimes we don't feel His presence because we either refuse to engage in His presence or we push God away. We are not always going to understand why we go through the things we go through, or why things happen but one thing that we can know and find hope in is that God has us and has everything under control. We can rest in that, hope in that, find security and comfort in that and God OPENLY and JOYFULLY invites you in that! Right now, I should be in bed b/c I need to get up early in the morning for work, but I can't sleep. But while I was tossing and turning, I was kind of giggling b/c this past week I was freaking out about my life..AGAIN..and then I see how God smoothed everything out and made it workout! The thing is, God will honor us and reward us when we are faithful, maybe not right away, maybe not in this life time. However, where are real treasures are, they are in heaven, where nothing can get to them! Its easy now of days to get our identity stolen, money stolen, whatever stolen, but NO ONE or NOTHING can still your identity and your treasures in Christ! God is that good, people! I just want to encourage you, when you think your world is falling apart, when you don't understand what is going on. You'll prolly freak out and cry and all that, which is normal, however, I want you to know that you have a LOVING God and an AWESOME God who wants to invite you into His life that is eternal and wants to take care of you if you allow Him. I still struggle sometimes entrusting the Lord, but I never regretted doing it!! NEVER! I might be hesitant with certain situations to hand them over to Him, but when I did it, I NEVER regretted it. I only regret when I didn't hand them over to Him. His ways our higher than our ways..His thoughts..Higher than our thoughts...(Isaiah.55:8-9)
