What's in your heart?

Today while I was at work, an opportunity to see inside the hearts of people arose. A person's family was dealing with pain and suffering that most of us would not want to ever happen to us or anyone we truly loved. The person was distraught because they felt like what they were requesting for their dying love one was being denied. They became angry and almost to the point of being hostile. When I relayed this information to the person who was in charge they became even more angry than the person I spoke to. We all go through rough patches in our lives. Not everything is going to work out as we planned. People aren't going to be as friendly as we hope they would be. And when things happen for the worse our true colors come out. Since we hear all the time that God is in control of everything, do we really believe that when the going gets tough. Our reactions reveal our true nature. How many of us can say that we stay calm under pressure? Or that we rely on God for our deliverance in bad situations and circumstances? The lesson I learned today is that we have no control of our circumstances but we do have control over how we react to them. Let your reactions show that Christ lives within your heart. 

The Precious Children

As I look at everything that's going on in the world, I am truly sadden. You can tell it is time for Jesus to come back for the church. And the ones I feel deeply sorrowful for are the little childern. No one seems to care for their well being. These are the most vulnerable people on the planet and no one seems to want to step up and make sure that they are safe from all hurt, harm and danger. The bible talks about children being a gift from God, but the families who have them don't treat them that way. I've seen so many people who want to have kids and can't. Then you have the ones that don't need kids and have 50 million of them. I help take care of my nephew and wouldn't change anything about the situation for the world. While my husband and I have decided not to have kids, we love our nephew as if he were our own. I'm praying for the children that God would keep them safe.

A Year Later and A Little Wiser

It has been over a year since I've last blogged and so much has happened in my life. God has done some awesome things for me. I have had some very valuable lessons that I have benefited from. I now know that I am truly blessed and the only thing that stops me is me. I have determined that this year I will blog more often. I can't wait to see what happens. We serve an awesome God!!!!
