Have you ever met someone and days later wondered if they were God sent to teach you something...? With my job I meet lots of interesting ppl so it's a privilege to see and hear many views from successful ppl as well a those who struggle. It's literally the most broken ppl who are the most humble... And I often listen rly closely to what is said and am amazed by the peace ppl have in the midst of trials and tribulations. Personally, I freak out-- all the time-- and my life is not close to the struggle others face. Makes me think alot (as I do anyway) abt how I handle things an my attitude toward hard times. I tell myself that I trust God and know He wld never fail me... But in the moment do I believe it, prove it, show it...? & how does my lack of trust make Him feel? I believe there are several levels of faith, my grandmother for instance is one of His masterpieces and her life is proof of how He works in ppl and how far true faith will take you. Me, I'm young... And I have work to do. :) at the end of everyday I DO trust God however in moments of chrisis or struggle, even financial hardship and not being able to have what I WANT when I want it, I often look at the situation and MYSELF rather than looking UP for His guidance. I freak out, wonder why things are happening to me Or my family, get angry, bitter, frustrated... And overthink ways to "make things right." too many timea I've placed my trust in money, people, or ideas... Those things are garanteed to fail you.
Humble, complete trust---That's a new level of faith I want to complete bc I want to be humble each day and those who FULLY trust Him are humble. Life throws things at all of us, we go to church, we worship, we read His word, we praise Him, we pray... But how much do we TRULY TRUST Him.?.?
So in the midst of situations I've made a vow to look UP and do something real simple--- ask Him for help. He's there, He doesn't leave us, so it's up to us to look to Him and thank Him for ALL experiences bc He is perfect, doesn't make mistakes, so it all has a purpose.
My Mom was this way, she had moments but overall she was alwayssying that God would make a way for her... Naive and young I'd say "Mom WE make our own way..." honestly thinking that God had nothing to do with success... I always based it on skill and motivation. Again, NAIVE. Truth---God has planted seeds in me from the beginning and as I grow/improve/learn/experience I simply water them and they blossom into successes... How dare I not recognize that and THANK Him!
Today, I realize where it ALL comes from, I'm grateful, I know without Him I cld be as talented as I wanna Be, I am NOTHING. New levels of faith, I'm getting there--- giving Him
Glory... Credit where it's desired, and being the Christian I'm called to be. Trust the right One and you'll never be disappointed, He doesn't fail.
He gave me my family, motherhood, called me to be a wife, a friend, a leader, an example... And I want to be just that. At time I fall but never levels of faith are tweaked and I get back up- stronger, wiser, and better.
All glory to Him... The center of my heart, love of my life, and reason for my being...
Have a Bleased day.
Rachelle
the GLORY and trusting Him, all the time (good and bad).
