My Brother


I just read the last few postings on this page and first thing I realized it has been a while since I have written, Also I realized that those where whispers of what God would do just a few weeks later. Well first let my start by saying that I am just so amazed and the true gift of God is people. I am seeing that in a new way this week. I am just so blessed, and I am really grateful in all God has done. There is someone in my life that I have known for 2 years yet not until this past weekend when I went to Arizona for my brothers birthday, did I actually get to be blessed with a new relationship. I have seen my younger brother before and I knew that we were cool but last weekend it was brought and taken into a new light. We are now closer than I would have thought. I love it and he honestly makes me want to do better in life. I want to make my younger brother proud and show him that there is so many amazing things in this life and people you can benefit from. I want him to see a different life than he has seen and has been hurtful to him. I know that for him, like me, without those things he wouldn't be who he is, yet there is more. I want him to know what having a healthy home life is like. I want him to see how amazing HE is and how much he inspires me. No one in my life thus far has made me see these things even in my life that need to change. Don't get me wrong, my other family and friends are amazing as well and I love them all. It is just different when you connect with someone and when you can share things that others see as trivial. I am so proud of him and want him to know how much he means to me. I want him to know that no matter what I am here to stay. I told him last week that we missed out on enough years in eachothers lives I don't want to miss a second more, and I can see he doesn't want to either. Thanks for loving me just as I am. I love you! I am sure that you will be hearing a lot about him in the future. He even inspires me to write more. Thanks for that, you are my heart. I love you so much!!!!!

Perseverance vs. Endurance

Endurance is something I normally associate with sports, but really in the bible endurance is something that is to wait out the storm to wait it out and know that things will change. Waiting for things to change but just sitting back and riding out the storm. I have endured a lot of things but what does that really show about my character? Nothing except that I know how to wait things out sometimes. That I can sit back and ride the wave, or have a bit of patience for things to change. Although endurance is good in sports and beneficial when you need to wait on something, it isn't what defines character. It isn't what makes good stories. Who wants to sit and listen to someone tell you a story about them sitting and waiting for things to change, who wants to tell a story like that? I sure don't. When I tell a story I want it to be a good story but Epic stories like the Titanic come from something other than endurance. If those people on the boat would have done nothing but en...

Warring further still...

Knowing that this season in my life is where it should be is probably easier to accept, than for me to accept the truths of what God Himself has spoken to me about the future. I will tell you that what I am walking through is difficult and hard, but what God has spoken to me is even harder. Not because it will be painful, although I am sure it will be at times, but because of the reality and gravity of what it is. I am in a season of prepping, I believe, in my life for the next season of living out what I know God has said. He has given me direction in many areas of my life and yet I am in this waiting game. Tonight I was reminded that as Jesus had the cross before Him, those hours in the garden right before were necessary. He needed to go and seek the face of His Father. He needed to go further still. (Matt. 26:38-39) He wrestled with the dread for the task He was about to undertake. I know that God isn't asking us to take on all the sins of the world for all the ages ever to be, ...

1 Thes. 5:16-18

"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 run around in circles trying to figure out the will of God and yet we can't seem to find it because we are looking in the WRONG direction. 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....
