Don't Doubt It

I was in tears last week when I got home from work.  They were tears of joy and praise to God because I made it driving 30 minutes on the highway with less than an 8th of a tank of gas.  I had no choice because I had no cash and I had no other way to get home.  I prayed and said "Lord I have no choice but to roll."  I literally saw my gas tank move up several times throughout the drive.  When I saw my exit I started crying and praising God.  If you were to see me from another car you would have thought I was crazy.  I was yelling thank you Jesus and Halleluiah all the way.  Tears were flowing and I was slapping my steering wheel while trying not to get in an accident from shouting.  I was really scared and I had no one to call but Jesus, but that is no problem because Jesus is enough.  This may seem like a little thing to some of you, but it meant the world to me.  I had no other way to get to my son, and I had no other way to get to and from work.  God is faithful, and I promised God that I would tell everybody. 

The realization for me was that I wasn't sure that God would do it for me, and that is why I was afraid.  I had no choice but to step out on faith, but at the same time I was still doubting that God would grant my request.  Thank God for the Bible because God reminded me through his word and music that this was no big thing to him and that he loved me more than I thought.  There is nothing that is impossible for God.  As I was on the highway afraid for my well being, I realized how many times God had already showed that he cared about me.  I started thanking God for his faithfulness and his goodness  to me and I started naming events of his favor, love, and deliverance out loud.  How easy it is to forget God's faithfulness.  I say all of this to say that your requests to God are not shots in the dark or like letters to Santa.  God hears your prayers and he has the answer ready, not only for your circumstance but for your moment of revelation.  Here is the greatest revelation that anyone can have in my opinion.  GOD REALLY REALLY REALLY >>>LOVES YOU!!!!!!!  Not like a fan to a celebrity but like a good father to his child.  Not like a fare weather friend, but like a ride or die friend.  Not like a boy(or girl) too young to understand what love really means, but like the man(or woman)  who would give up his life for you.  What you are asking God is not too much for him. Just know that if you don't get it, it's because he's showing us something.  Keep watching him because God is true to his word and he said that no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly.  Walk right and if God says something, don't doubt it.

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...
