Romans 8

Everyone goes through difficulties and painful situations in life. In fact, scripture tells us that in this world we will have tribulations and trials. I’ve heard it said that the life of faith is not about the absence of problems, but the presence of power—God’s power at work in us leading us to the place of wholeness and victory. He promises to take those things that the enemy meant for evil and turn them around for our good. It says in Romans 8 that He causes all things to work together for our good because we love Him.

“Without God’s perspective, we miss out on some of His greatest lessons found in this tension between joy and tribulation. Think of a car battery. It fulfills its purpose through its power that comes from both a positive and a negative current running through it. When a car battery runs out of power, we give it a jump-start by hooking up both the positive and negative cables. The tension of joy and tribulation in our lives works the same way. We need both positive and negative currents to energize our purpose and call.”

Today, no matter what you may be facing, no matter what you may have been through in the past, God is not the author of destruction; He is the author of life and peace. He didn’t bring that difficulty into your life, but He can use it to launch you forward into your destiny. John 16:33 tells us that even though we have challenges, we can be of good cheer because He has overcome the world and deprived it of power to harm you. When you put your hope in God, you will never be disappointed! Keep your heart and mind open to Him, keep meditating on His Word, and let Him revolutionize your heart and life!

These Tears I Keep Crying

Why do we as women date retards?

Is it the only species left?

We settle and settle and keep settling till we have nothing left. No standards of your own left and nothing that makes you happy. I use to be happy with myself when I knew I was dating a nice guy that is something to be proud of. I mean you only tolerate what you put up with. So why do I keep tolerating and settling for a guy that I know might keep me happy for a week but later disappointment me? Is it just him or does his family ruin him for me? Why do we keep finding ourselves back together again only to break up and find ourself in the same exact spot. No I dont want to be alone, yeah im tired of fighting, yeah id love to be in your arms right now...But is that where Im suppose to be?

How can you love someone that is so bad for you.

Pray for God’s wisdom and healing for your heart. You never know, God may need you out of the way for a short time in order to deal directly with the man. Remember God’s plan for our life isn’t revealed to us all at once, so have hope that His BEST is in the works for you. Close your eyes and trust God. God will never leave you, He is with you now. I love this scripture, Psalm 34:18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted, And saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Whenever something really big happens in life, I used to want life to stop, cars to stop driving, people stop working, no one shopping at the stores. I wanted to the world to pause for my pain. But life has a cruel and also comforting aspect, it just keeps going on. Even when you want it to stop, it won’t. And at some point in your life, you’ll be comforted that life hasn’t stopped, that the hustle and bustle of life is marching on. Why? Because it encourages us to move again too.

2011

another year has come and gone and so has my birthday. In a day I will turn another year older and feel a little more pressured to figure out my purpose in life and to find "the one". with the start of a new year everyone talks of new year resolutions and things they want to do. id be lying if i said i didn't have a list or know what i wish would happen this year. the only thing that holds me from writing that list is fear of none of it coming true, and the drive of actually wanting to make it all happen. so where does that put me? unmotivated, depressed, unsatisfied, restless, and unhappy with life..?

NO.

even though I have and do feel those a lot of time i have to remind myself EVERYTHING happens for a reason, we ALL have a purpose, and people are placed in our lives for a REASON.

a lot of time we don't understand why things are happening the way they are, whats our purpose or what we are suppose to do in life and why certain people good or bad are in our lives but know its all apart of the big picture. we only see this small tiny part of life in front of us right now but in the long run HE knows how it all works out and answers to the WHYS and I DON'T GET ITS.

to a new year, positive changes, and a happy life

Praying for a end in sight and a happy conclusion to all of this mess that has been going on for the past year with my boyfriend/ex. I'm so over it. I just pray that the Lord will protect my heart from any other harm and it will be the best option whatever the conclusion is. I am just tired of being unhappy and uncertain and not able to live life. Lord show me your way and may YOUR WILL be done in my life. I don't want it my way when it comes to THIS relationship. Lord have your way, direct my path, and I ask for guidance with this relationship.

Should I stay or should I go...

Should I leave now, or when...

Is there better out there for me or am I being unreasonable..

Lord is this the one? Then if it is why am I so unhappy/disappointed?

Help me Lord I cry out to you and leave it at your feet

I AM

I just get frustrated.

I'm waiting on something to happen that's never going to happen.

I'm listening to lies that you always tell me.

I'm believing you care about me and want to change and make us work when all you care about is yourself.

I'm sitting here asking myself how do I love two men that are exactly the same.

How do I attract the most selfish men?

I saw a friend I grew up with at work today and it just made me realize how unhappy I am with my life. She has graduated college, she is engaged, she has a good job making good money and she is currently finishing her masters about to be making even more money and even more successful. I am SO jealous. Not in a envious "I hate her" way...Just a I wish I could have a ounce of her success way. Why cant i be successful? Why cant I graduate college? Why haven't I found a decent guy that will treat me good? Why haven't I done anything that I thought I would have by now? I just feel so inadequate and incompetent and like I am not worth a shit. I haven't done anything with my life and the sad thing is I am busting my ass to try to be someone and it isn't working.
