Habakkuk 2:3
"For the vision is yet for an appointed time…though it tarries, wait for it"
*TODAY'S WORD*
GOD has an appointed time to fulfill the visions, dreams, and desires in your heart. Just because it has taken a long time or because you've tried and failed doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Don't give up on those dreams! Don't be complacent about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. Our God is a faithful God. No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible things look, if you'll stay in faith, your set time is coming.
Remember, every dream that's in your heart, every promise that has taken root, God put it there. Not only that, but He has every intention of bringing it to pass. Hold on to that vision today. Declare by faith, "My time is coming. God is working behind the scenes on my behalf. I will fulfill my destiny!" As you continue to hold on to that vision and speak life over your dreams, it won't be long before you see them begin to take shape. You'll see your faith grow, you'll see your hope strengthen, and you'll see yourself step into the destiny God has prepared for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I receive Your Word which is life and health to me today. I ask that You ignite my heart with Your holy fire so that I can pursue Your perfect plan for my life. Make my thoughts and words agreeable to Your will. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Read this today and thought it was and excellent reminder of God promises he has for our life. Something we need to be reminded of daily I think. Its so easy to get caught up in everything in life and feel like your not getting anywhere or making progress. Everything happens for a reason I believe and like I always say God is working over time behind the scenes to make our plans and life turn out according to his will. Hang in there and stay strong...coming from someone that feels lost and like everything I am doing is useless. It will change one day! GOOD THINGS ARE COMING. Your not the only one struggling and THIS TOO SHALL PASS. God wouldnt let his favorite one suffer and struggle the rest of their life. Give it over to him. He knows and sees your heart and desires. Stay strong friend, hes working it out.
Until that mind blowing future and wonderful time comes we are patient waiting, afterall who wants to miss out on what Gods has for you...? :)

No More Tears In Heaven
I have a daily devotional I get through emails every morning. Half the time I am too busy or forget to read them but this past few months has been a struggle for me so I have been searching for every ounce of positive words or hope there is out there and no place better to look than Gods promises! Its funny how some messages or sermons are spoken for you in the right time or at time you need to hear them. This one was my daily today and it sums up how Ive been feeling the whole week and in fact was even in tears over Wednesday night. Maybe it will help someone else in this word of no hope we live in.
SCRIPTURE
*Psalm 56:8 "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book"
TODAY'S WORD
Do you know how important you are to God? He cares so much about every detail of your life. He cares about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. In fact, what you are going through is so important to Him that He records every sorrow and collects every tear you've shed. Why would God record your sorrows and collect your tears? Because He loves you so much, and He is your Vindicator. He's keeping account of every wrong that's ever been done to you so that He can make up for every single one of them. He wants to restore everything that has ever been stolen. He wants to heal every single hurt and pain. He sees the longings and desires of your heart, and you can rest knowing that He is working things out for your good!
So today, know that you are precious to Him. He has your best interest at heart. He is working to bring restoration and peace to you. Keep standing, keep believing, and keep doing the right thing because the One who collects your tears will restore every broken place in your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me and setting me free. Thank You for being my Vindicator. I choose to release every hurt, pain and sorrow, knowing that You will make all things new in Your time. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Keep strong. HE knew our life before we did and he knows and made the ending.
Good things are coming.
P.S. the daily devotion was from Joel Osteen =)

Lord Here I am Your Favorite One!
No struggle need ever again be pointless!
*Psalm 126:5-6 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.
No suffering need ever again be unending!
*Psalm 30:5 Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Hard days come and go but we have to remember and KNOW that God has a plan for me! And declare and KNOW that God WILL bring me through. It may seem hard at the time and confusing but HE is there. You are his most important child...do you really think he would forget about you...? No! He knew you even before you were born and knew the plans for your life. Have FAITH that there is something AMAZING in the works. Usually when we feel alone and lost HE is working overtime to make it all work. He never forgets, nor will he ever forget you.
Hang in there. Good things are coming!

Unseen
2 Corninthians 4:7-12, 16-18
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
