GOD allows destruction to happen to us but why?

I took some quiet time with GOD because I felt like we needed it, and I didn't even know what I was looking for.  I just wanted to talk with GOD.  I wanted him to speak into me whatever I needed because I have gotten to the point lately where I don't even trust what I think I need anymore.  I don't trust myself to make the right decisions because I don't believe that anyone is trust worthy anymore. That is partially the result of a series of really unfortunate events that have happened recently and over the course of a few years as well.  GOD keeps telling me though "you can trust me.  Just try trusting me."  I know that I can trust GOD, but sometimes when certain things happen I really feel the need to check back and say "LORD, what are you doing?  I don't get it."  I felt in my spirit this morning that the LORD was reminding me of something that I heard a while ago.  GOD will only allow a certain precise amount of disaster in our lives.  Of course the question still remains why all of this disaster?  HIS answer to me was that he is willing to break everything down in order to build up something greater, and sometimes this is what it takes for us to accept the greater that HE has for us.  I was amazed and yet not surprised.  GOD's ways are higher than my ways and his thoughts higher than my thoughts.  The only way to live is to trust GOD with our very lives.  He knows where to bend us, where to break us, and where to hold us together.  We are his vessels after all.  Thanks GOD for answering little ole' me.

Love Chris

5 things that could keep you from getting so angry

So I find that there are certain things that when done make for a much better day than when I don't do them.  As a single mom sometimes it gets hard to do these and then everything seems to be a bigger ordeal for me. Lord help me to do better with that.  I would tell you don't judge me, but I know you are going to do it anyway so I will say please be gracious toward me.  1.  Start the snowball of positive thinking : For me this means prayers of thanks, reading my Bible, listening to positive music, writing a letter to God or to myself, even watching some Veggie Tales (what do you know about those Veggies?)  with my son sometimes.   The reality is there is enough negative that comes at me; why would I invite anything other than a flood of positive truth into my mind and my life? This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it...or else!!!  haha just kidding (sort of) 2.  Wash up!: Remember when I said be gracious?...

Mr. Sandman Where are you?

I was told that by 6 months old or so my son should be effectively sleeping through the night. Well, Tomorrow is his first birthday and he has already woken up twice...make that three times because he woke up while I was writing this! I really miss sleeping and I want my little one to get sleep too. He wakes up every two or three hours to nurse. I try to get him to go back to sleep, but a baby who is standing up and pulling on the side of his crib isn't going back to sleep easily. I sing, swing, shush , and attempt to swaddle, but he won't have any of it. Sometimes I let him cry his way back to sleep, but it only last for about a half hour before he reawakens more determined than before. The screaming wears on my nerves and the lack of sleep is wearing on my days. Some days I think "This is it. This is my life now. I will never feel rested again, and I will never be fully alert again." I expected to lose sleep when I found out I was pregnant. I expected to be tired, b...

I have a dream

I used to dream all the time that I was witnessing to people.  People would ask me questions and I would begin to speak about the goodness of the Lord, and how Jesus was the solution to all of their problems or desires.  I feel anointed to be having those dreams again.  Maybe someone needs these words.  I talk about my journey of faith, but maybe you haven't begun that journey yet so let me tell you about Jesus.  Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world, the messiah, the only begotten son of God.  Jesus is God in humanity. He came down to earth, lived a human life, did miraculous things to show people who he was and how much he loved them.  Jesus felt every human emotion that any of us have ever felt. Jesus taught us how to live as people of God.  Then he died so that we wouldn't have to be separated from him anymore.   You see sin separates us from God because he is holy.  We all have sinned therefore we all should be separated fro...
