After All, He Is Constant!

     Life is crazy! We go through ups and downs. We get lost in the busyness of school, work, weekends at church, weekends away, and everything else that fills up our everyday lives. In the midst of all the madness we go through in life, we may also have to face some seasons of waiting, some messy situations, or some pauses in our lives when absolutely nothing is happening. During these times there may be moments when we are drowned in the misery of loneliness. And it's usually when we need someone the most that our closest friends or family seem nowhere to be found. This is not the best place in life to be, and yet it's probably a period of time we all go through at some point. How do we go through such difficult times? How do we face moments like this? 

     I'm not an expert, nor do I have a list of how to deal with loneliness, or how to get through tough times. But something that always helped me was the reminder that even in my loneliest and most chaotic times God was always constant in my life! The song, "Not for a Moment" by Meredith Andrews replays in my mind when I go through such times. It's a constant reminder of how my God has never forsaken me or left me. The song tells us that even at our worst times, God has always been there for us, carrying us through. Knowing that in times of loneliness, trials, sorrows, and pain, the Creator of the universe holds us dearly in His arms and brings us through is more than enough for me to get through. A reminder of God's love and goodness that He's showered upon me is enough for me to push forward in difficult times. 

     Yes- we may go through some crazy things in life, and yes- sometimes we may have to go through them alone, but God is always there! He is always constant in our chaos.

Honestly, "Not for a Moment" sums up what I'm trying to put in words. So here’s the song...hope it blesses you like it's blessed me!

Do you pray about it, as much as you talk about it?

Do you pray about it, as much as you talk about it?   I saw this sign the other day on the internet and it got me thinking… It’s actually crazy how we can talk about some of our issues, struggles or dislikes for hours. Many times we feel like calling someone or just hanging out with someone close and we just want to share out heart out. Once we share, we feel a momentary relief as well. Our friends, parents or siblings take time out of their schedule to listen to our rants and provide insight, advice, etc. and that makes us happy and comforted. We realize how much we need each other. The more trust we build, the more we share; the more we share the more we care for one another; and the more we care for one another the more we can endure. So I think it’s important to talk about stuff and I believe it will only help you, it relieves stress and anxiety… but the question is “Do you pray about it, as much as you talk about it?” Sometimes we have a lot of plans. Plans for ...

Sometimes my plan fail, but God always gives me better options.

     There are many times in my life when things went in a completely opposite way than I had thought or planned.  I am an impatient person, so I like things to be done my way and in my own time. I've found that in each and every one of those situations, God had a completely different plan.  Many times, we plan out things with our own knowledge, and then we blame God when things start going wrong.  We try to teach God by telling him how things should work out. We become upset, and frustrated at God. We then begin to fear and wonder why things didn't work the way we planned and prayed. Maybe it’s our sins?  Or did God even hear our prayer? We often say we trust in Him, but if we trust God the way we say we do, we must trust that God knows what is best for us in every situation.  If we put our trust in Him He will direct us in the way that is best for us, even if we don’t think that it’s the best for us in that mom...

Return, O my Soul, To Your Rest.

Psalm 116: 1-7 (NIV) I love the  Lord ,  for he heard my voice;    he heard my cry  for mercy.   Because he turned his ear  to me,      I will call on him as long as I live. The cords of death  entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me;       I was overcome by distress and sorrow.   Then I called on the name  of the  Lord :      “ Lord , save me! ” The  Lord  is gracious and righteous;   our God is full of compassion The  Lord  protects the unwary; when I was brought low,  he saved me. Return to your rest,  my soul,      for the  Lord  has been good  to you .      This is a Psalm that God has continuously been reminding me of for the last two weeks. Before He brought me to it, I was stressed out with many things. Stressed out b...
