So I have been going through a transition lately.
I left my job a month ago, against the advice of most people I know, to follow Gods leading.
I was to be home for about six months to prepare for my future.
Although I dreamed of starting it off by setting myself apart for God, I ended up in bed for the better part of the month sick, and then fighting the doubts and insecurities that rose up for the rest of it.
There were a lot of them, I could fill the page with all of them.
For a while it seemed as I would not be able to get out of the hole that I seemed to be in.
But God is faithful. I cried out to him and he answered me.
He started filling the hole under my feet with things like encouraging words from friends, prayers of others, as well as flat out giving me what I needed to keep going.
Before I knew it the hole was filled and I was once again standing on solid ground.
I am back to my old self again, and ready to claim all that God has for me.
Sometimes as Christians we get so busy doing what God called us to do that we forget about the fact that we are called to do it in HIS strength not ours.
When God gives you something to do that is so hard you feel as if you cannot rise from the weight of it, call out and ask him to take the load.
He will do it.
Because He loves you and because the load was never yours to carry.

This Christmas I was blessed to get a present. It was a beautiful coat.

A few weeks later I went out to a coffee house and left it on a chair.
I am very forgetful so I was not absolutely sure where I left it.
I went back and asked about the coat. The girl got a smirk on her face. Then she went in the back, laughed and came out and in a strange voice told me they had nothing like that.
It seemed clear she was lying but I cannot stand confrontation so I left.
I was heartsick over the loss of the jacket. Not only did I love the jacket but I did not want to disappoint the young men who gave it to me.
A week passed.Then one night after spending time with God He told me to go back.
I didn’t want to, but listened to Him, even though I was nervous (I am bad with faces and I did not want to run into the same girl).
On the way there I asked God to let a guy be up front. There was.
I asked Him, he went to the back and came out with the jacket!!
I was amazed. But I shouldn’t of been. God is faithful!! He never tells us to do anything without a reason!!
He can be trusted!!!!!
