Strong Enough♥

When life gets you down and as if the whole world is on your shoulders, turn to God. Like they say "Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray!" This will be a shorter blog but I have been struggling with a lot lately and there is one person I can turn to, God.♥ There is a song that helps me, then one song I always listen to is called Strong Enough by Matthew West. I really recommend listening to it. Just always remember God does not want you to go through things yourself He wants to take every step with you. & always remember God will never give you anything that you can't handle. God believes in you and knows that you are strong but when you feel like you can't do it anymore, give it all to God. You were not put on this earth to go through things yourself! When I have challenges I turn to God and I fall in love with Him even more. He is ALWAYS there. He has never left your side you just have to realize that He is there and He is not going anywhere! He never puts you through things to hurt you but to make you realize He is there for you no matter what and He believes in you and knows you are strong enough for whatever is thrown at you. Keep your head up high and always remember you're never alone!

What does the future hold?

Future. What does that word mean to you? Does the future to you mean just tomorrow, the next week, or maybe when you're in college, or 30? How does it make you feel? Does it make you want to rush through your life to get to it or does it make you want to go and hide? I believe the future can be years from now or could even just be the next day, may I add is never promised. The future is not the past and not right now. I believe that we just try to rush through life to get to a certain point in our life to where we don't even appreciate the time that we are given or we will just wait till tomorrow, next week, or next month to do something. Why not now? A big thing I have a problem with is procrastination with all areas of my life honestly whether it comes to chores, reading the Bible, homework, ect. But you know I had a friend lose his life a couple months ago and honestly you don't know if you will have tomorrow, next week, or the next 2 years. There are two messages I'm going to try to get out, don't waste your precious life that you have been given and trust God and have Him work through you and have His will be done of your life. This life that you are living right this minute you have to make smart decisions with it. Yes life can get hard to where you don't want to try anymore but there is an answer to that: God. God is your heavenly father who just wants the best for you He knows exactly what is best for you and what will make you the most happy. How do we know He knows that? Cause He made you!! You are God's creation. He knows how many hairs are on your head, He knows absolutely everything about you. I find myself struggling to know who I am and what I want but I know I have someone to turn to and trust because when I'm clueless, He has the answers♥ Yes, sometimes you will have to wait for answers sometimes God will wait to give them but He will give them to you and at exactly the right time. You know sometimes I think to myself well I have my dreams but what if that is not what God wants me to do? Well then what He wants me to do will be better and give me satisfaction maybe that I thought I would never find in that. God works in mysterious ways you have to remember that, but trust Him. Fully believe that He knows whats best for you cause He knows more about you then you do yourself. He knows hidden things about you that you never knew and He is just waiting for the right time to show you. So instead of feeling like you have to figure everything out, don't, go to God and talk to Him about it. He will show you. Take opportunities that are thrown your way maybe you will find something that God is trying to show you. At times I feel like God tries to get to do things, like I will just get this random voice in my head to wave at someone, say hi ask them how they are doing, help them take their groceries to their car, maybe pitch in some money when there isn't enough, just nice kind things for people to show people Gods love and sometimes I don't because i don't want to be weird. I mean seriously walk up to some random person and start talking, I think I would be kinda like what the heck? but guess what I would never forget that that person did that. I would think back and be like wow that person might  actually care about people. And that is what God is trying to do with his people, to love and care for each other. Show people the love of God♥ I definitely need to work on when God tells me to go do it, I do it instead of saying What If or oh I will do it next time, maybe next time I'm here I will do it. No! Go do it, you might make someones day. And you never know whether you will have the next time or maybe even then. I know I get off topic sometimes but I feel passionate about everything I write one these blogs because this is how God helps me reach people. Maybe sometime God will show me another way I can reach people. What I'm trying to say here is don't wait to do something if you really feel like you need to or want to. Do it. Why not? Well unless it's wrong of course. Live out the will that God has for you. No, we don't know exactly what that is, but the personal relationship we have will God will show us the way. No, we are not going to live perfect lives, not everyday everything this going to be great, but when something goes wrong. Tell God how you feel, how to move on from it, and what to do next. You might not get a direct answer right then and there but you will receive the answer at the right time. God is never late. Until then, live the way God wants you to. Love people, truly care. Read the Bible, to help learn more. Talk and pray to God. If God pulls you towards something do it, don't ask what if or say the next time. No, do it. Tomorrow is not promised.

Thanks for reading another one of my blogs!(: Every time you read one try to let God speak to you and show what He wants you to get out of it. Do that with everything. God wants whats best for you and He wants to be there for everything. He doesn't want to push himself on you, He wants you to come to Him and then can you feel the grace of God. There is a quote that I would like to share a quote that led me to writing this blog. "A man who walks with God, always reaches his destination." It's true, that's my whole blog made into one sentence. Go today and do something new, listen to God if you wants you to do something you never know, that one person you and go to could have a major impact on your life. Who knows, only God♥
