Beloved

Tonight I read an article talking about how we need to remember that we are the beloved, it went on to say that we need to be in solitude with God and understand all that he has for us. Then, we need to be in community and trust those around us and not be so proud. Finally, we can minister to others by seeing those that are in pain and allowing God to speak to us to help these people in their time of need. We should remember that he loves us so much and would do anything to be with us, if we just take the time to allow him to be a part of our lives, we can truly see his work begin to take place. Too many times I ask God to do something for me but I do not work with him to complete what I ask for. I just expect him to take care of it all on his own because he is God and that is what he does. Unfortunately for us, relationships are two way streets and God requires us to put in the effort to complete what he is trying to do through us. I struggle and keep struggling but I always stay in the same old rut, no way out, no way around as long as I continue to stay stubborn. I feel like I am neither winning nor losing the battle but that just means that I am losing because nothing is changing. I feel like Hebrews 10:26-31 is beginning to apply directly to me and that I am going to run into trouble one of these days. I am sure I will not like what I see but for some reason I just cant get out of here. Maybe I'm too caught up in what I want that I just cannot let God do what he wants. I know what needs to occur but I just am too lazy to let it happen. I just feel like God's call is there but I'm too afraid to step out and take it.

Please continue to pray for me, I definitely need it. I have so many gracious and loving people in my life and I thank all of you for your support and I want you all to be proud of me. You guys have helped me through rough times and I have no idea where I would be without you right now. I do not even know who reads this anymore, I have been spotty with it and I am sure most have lost interest but if you still read this, thank you and I hope to hear what God is speaking in and through you.

God Bless,
