Gods Plan is Sometimes Not Your Own

We are sometimes trapped by events from our past. Our logic is as long as we hold on to what use to be, it will be again. That can be a very dangerous way to live. You can not participate in the present, and hope to secure a worthwhile future by remaining in the past. Most of us use it as a crutch, because we are too afraid to step away from the familiar. We pray and ask God for guidance, while secretly longing to reclaim that place in time. We lose site of reality because we are investing time and energy on something that is no longer within our grasp. All the while God is waiting patiently. He listens to us over and over again yearning for us to desire more of ourselves. Until finally he can no longer stand to see us in such pain, that he takes the lead and grooms us for greatness. This does not mean we are willing followers. We question him as to why we are traveling this newly paved road. He responds by reminding us, that sometimes we have to journey a road less traveled to make our own mark, and not follow in someone elses footsteps. If you are uncertain of what Gods plan is for your life. you may waste a life time pursuing someone elses dreams.

A Word From God

I've often wondered what it meant to have God speak to you
If it was actually his voice you were hearing and what response he awaits from you
There are times when life unfolds with no regard to what you've planned
It's at that particular moment that Gods voice is close at hand
He shields you and he lifts you up and takes away your pain
He strengthens you and orders your steps because trials will come again
But the next time a trial arises the impact won't be as great
And the devil will be confused because he's only testing your fate
God is the one that saves your soul and allows your heart to breathe
God is the one who answers your prays when you're down on bended knee
Don't think just because you're in the midst of a trial the devil has it in for you
Some of the hardest times in your life are trails God puts you through
With every trial God breaks you down and builds you up again
He needs to know you have a faithful heart and on him you will depend
I'm not say this from what I've read or even what I've heard
My experience as long as I was faithful and even when I wasn't
God was always true to his word

Reminiscing Soothes the Soul

God has a way of speaking to you that is unlike any other monologue you will ever experience. His words are kind and penetrates the depth of your soul. He listens to you sometimes without a response. Not because he does not have an answer, but because he has to allow you to meditate on the situation at hand. Lately I have been caught up with thoughts of my late grandson. My heart is filled with the joy of knowing he is in a place where pain is no longer his hindrance. I know God has chosen me for a journey that I have barely began to travel, and I anticipate every encounter with a fresh pair of eyes. The love you have for those that are no longer physically available to you, will forever remain a footprint in the halls of your heart. So on those days your heart yearns for them, let it. When you are traveling in your car and that song pierces your nerve and brings you to tears, let them fall. When you are absolutely convinced that you can not possibly survive another day of torment, you will. God will equip you with the needed strength to press forward for that day. Because hearts are healed one day at a time. Honestly there should be no rush to heal. God will let you know when you have reached that peak. While some of you may have never expired a loss of a loved one, there are many of you that are still waiting for the pain to reside. Stand firm in knowing God is your rock and he will stand for you and with you during you time of need. So for those of you that are aching remember God has claimed your angel because their services were required. Find joy in knowing the reunion will be all that you have imagined.

When God Calls Your Name

Today is as bright a day I have ever seen

The sky is as blue as the ocean at a distance

The clouds formulate a backdrop of absolute perfection

As I sit here and wait for God to call my name I am at peace

My mind reminisces and takes a look at the events of my life

I have no regrets because God held my hand through this journey

To some it may seem as if my journey has come to an end

When the reality is my journey has just begun

Because God has called my name
