On Fall
In the fall leaves are falling everywhere, the air is colder and you have to get out the jackets once again. Children start getting back into the swings of things with school and the stillness and quietness of summer shifts back into busy lives. Fall is also preparation for winter. I am going to apply this now to our spiritual lives. We need to brace ourselves for the winters in our lives. In the good time we need to stock up on all we can learn to prepare us for winter. This doesn't mean to worry about what will happen next but rather how we will react when it does come and safeguard our hearts will enjoying the good times. In the winter things are dormant. Flowers die and wither away. Trees are bare. But what comes after winter? Spring! Everything becomes alive again. The trees regain their leaves. Flowers spring up again. It is warm again. Just like our lives. There masy be hard times but in the end we become alive again and become victorious all over again. Why? Because Jesus knows how much we can handle and won't put us through anything we can't handle . Don't get discouraged if the season you are in now is hard to handle. If you are in the winter of your life remember that Spring is coming!!!!! It's right around the corner. You will blossom once again into the person God made you to be. The painting of your life will turn out beautiful.

Where You Are
Hello Friends! It has been a long time since I've writen. I am sorry. Needed time to get reflect and get more inspiration so I can have more to share with you. Follow my blog still as I will be writing more. Hope you enjoy our new topic...
Sometimes we reach a fork in the road, a dead end and we don't know know where to go or what to do. We feel we are failures especially when we know there is so much more for us. We begin to compare ourselves with others who have what we want. We think we have no reason to be where we are. We see it fruitless. I have been in that place may times even in the past year. I wanted something more. I look back now though as seeing everything as a step to where God wants me to be tomorrow. God's timing isn't always are timing. There have been so many times I fought with God. I cried and got depressed. I saw what other people had and I wanted it. I was after my will, what I wanted and not after the Will of my Heavenly father who made me and loves me and wants for me more then I can imagine. One of my favorite stories in the Bible is about Esther, probably a teenager at the time. She was placed into a HORRIBLE situation and the lives of her people were in hands. She was at risk being killed herself. She was placed in a situation where she just didn't understand. Why God had put her in that situation. God put her there "For such a time as this" and because she did what God said, her people were spaired and not only that but they had more power then before. She could not understand why but in the end our God knew what He was doing and had a plan for her. If you have reached in a road block in your life. If you wonder "Why this, Lord" don't lose heart. God knows what He is doing and has you there for such "Such a time as this." Allow Him to use you where you are. Place your will in His hand. You never know what will happen next.
