What if that thing you are crying out to God to make happen finally becomes a reality, how do you hold it?
Is it in a choke hold? Is it offered back to God, with you as it’s stewerd, to failthfully use for His glory for as long as it remains with you? Is it dependant on what it is? Because some things may be easier to hold loosely than others. Can we walk away from it because it has not become our identity or the only purpose we have in life?

Jesus asks us, “Did I not tell you that if you believed…”
What do you need to believe Him for? Where is there a loss or a fight you need Him to be with you?

He wouldn’t have gone through all He did to rescue and redeem me, if He was just going to walk away from me in the hard parts of life.

When you are so brokenhearted or drooping under the weight of our sin or somethings, where do you look? What grabs your attention? How do you deal with the burden and be able to function in life?

God will always lead us through our difficult and dry times to places where we will find rest and provision.

I learned a lot from Job’s wife:
We need to know and accept that good and the bad will come to us during our life.
We need to hold onto our integrity and right heart when the worst is happening.
Trust the God Who loves us and sees us!

**Our belief that God IS GOOD and everything He has done, does now and will do is for our good, is the foundation that our walk with Him is built on.

Just like He does for me and for you! He sees us in our sorrows. He sees us waiting for our promise.

That impacted me because sometimes I get bored with the mundane, everydayness of life and would like to spice it up a bit. But what is in my hands to serve God today? What’s in yours?

They did not accomplish those things because they were good people or had a mantra of affirmations they said to themselves every day before they walked out the door.

When we are in sync with God we will pause when He pauses, when He runs, we run. When we intertwine our lives with God, we will renew our strength. We are not alone.

We do not trip and fall into being with Jesus. We may need to find our “boat” that takes us to a quiet place so we can be with Jesus to learn from Him and become like Him!

>>I get to live this life and love my family and be who I am made to be.<< Why would I try to live someone else’s life?!

When we yell “Marco” we hear God yell “Polo” from behind us.
We find out that He’s been there all along. He never left us.
He is fighting for us! He will defeat that army.

The reset happens when we acknowledge where we’re at, what we’re feeling and allow God to meet us and heal us there.

We can wake up or have a random thought in the middle of our day that is negative, combative, oppressive, depressing,

I am in awe every day when I read the Bible, that God would write down His Words and heart for me to get to know Him.

Jesus shined His Light into my life and changed the landscape of my world.

There is freedom on this side of trust. There is freedom on this side of knowing that God is good. That He always has been good and He will always be good and nothing I go through will change His goodness!

When we change our thinking, we change our lives.
