Unapologetically and Honestly Loving Others with Reckless Abandon

Although, Faith is a foundational truth it has also been coming up alot in my daily life, as something that needs to increase in me and in others. There are things that God has promised each of us and I know that sometimes it may seem like you have been praying for something that God isn't hearing you on, but not always is that the case. There is a TIME and a place for EVERYTHING. I believe that eventhough it may SEEM like the right time, there may be one or two or ten things that need adjusting. Are you willing to wait for your promises or are you willing to throw them away on account of them not happening in YOUR time? Are you wanting it RIGHT NOW or are you willing to wait so that the timing is SWEETER than it ever could have been before? In this immediately world we live in, are you willing to wait on GOD? This is harder than it may seem, especially when the things that God has promised you are GOOD things and will change your world around you, are you willing to wait for the p

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thes. 5:16-18 NIV How simple are these three verses and yet we think that there is so much more we need to do, for us to be in God's will. We take them in and let them out so easily. As if God CAN'T want something so simple, He is a BIG God and so He MUST want something BIG. This is a lie.

We hear God, We MOVE, and then leave God in the dust because He made a turn and we didn't hear him because we didn't STOP and ask. God doesn't change, His plans for us don't change, YET we seem to think that He is the one that changes when we head in the wrong direction. We blame Him for ditching us and not telling us when to move, when REALLY it is us who didn't stop and ask for a new direction.

I am NOT a list maker, I am not a BIG Goal setter. I enjoy life as it comes and I try to prayerfully enter every decision, the key word here is TRY. So last week when we were in our womens bible study, I found it interesting that they were talking about what they do to try and stay focused on praying. To try and not get distracted and I just found it so fascinating that these Godly women made lists while they were in prayer. I am not here to tell you if that is right or wrong I am just here to ask a question and for you to seek God on the answer. So my question is, if you get distracted and want to remember things, but are in a time of prayer, should you make a list OR ask God to bring back to YOUR rememberance the things you need to do, get or anything else that distracts you from His Presence? If that isn't clear let me show you. My mom is a definite list maker she writes things down so she doesn't forget to do them, doesn't forget things at the grocery store and this usu
