Change
To be or not to be.
God provides us with my doors. Some open and some closed. That illistration shows us that God gives us oppertunities and sometimes it isnt met to be in his plan, so he closes that door.
In my families life, some doors have been opening, but then not too soon after closing, one is opened right now, and obviously I would like it to stay open, but I keep fighting with my flesh. It doesnt matter if I want the door open, it only matters if God wants to keep the door open!
God is teaching me how to be patient and trusting and relying and depending on him!
So far, its been an adventure. My flesh was furious at first. ( along with upset, angry, hurt, shocked ect.) But after a few days of prayer and bible reading, I began to start getting happy and rejoicing. Because when God is intentionally opening doors, you know that change is going to come.
Its so awesome to know that the God of this universe is opening the doors, and closing the ones that should be closed, because he cares about ME and my family!! Me, a speck on this Earth. Yet he cares so much about me and my life that he goes out of his way to make doors open.
Whoever is reading this, I serve a mighty God. You may be saved and have that close personal relationship with him like I do, but you may not. You may be a lost sinner and have no hope on this Earth. Let me tell you, with God, you cant help but have hope, even in troubling times!!
Living for God is so much greater than ANYTHING this world can offer you!
Living a sinful, pleasure filled life isnt worth spending forever burning in Hell.
Spend each moment of your life living for God and doing His will, because eternity in Heaven will be so worth it!
And why wouldnt you want to praise the one who created Earth? Who created everything so delicately and carefully. He is so wonderfully perfect, you cant help but praise and love him!
Just a little bit of my thoughts and encouragement of the day.

Change
Well, this week change may or may not happen.Through all of this I have been praying, and trying to trust as much as possible because I know that God has a plan, and his plan is far greater than I could ever try and think of myself. I am so grateful to have Godly parents who are trusting in God through all of this.
Continued prayers would be appreciated!
Will be posting soon!!

Change
Well, like I said in the last post, I have the feeling that some serious change is about to happen in my life.
I can't stop thinking about it. Like the posibilities that my life will change and its all I can think about!!!
Sometimes I wish God gave us a book with everything that will happen in our lives because sometimes I just hate not knowing! Thats all my thoughts for tonight.

Change
So I've been having these feelings that change is going to happen, and even if it doesn't happen, I'm trying to trust God and just let him take my life and use it for His glory. (Easier said than done) Like, when life is going great, its easy to be like, "oh yeah, I trust God. Yippe!" But when your life that you are so used to may be changing, our flesh just wants to hang on to our life and grip it with all its strength. I know that my faith is stronger than my faith, but its a big struggle.
That being said, that's what I'm struggling with in my life. Letting God take control of my life. Its so easy to be like Jerimiah 29:11. (For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.) I know that! And I can believe it all I want. But it's so hard, because its like God, I'm confortable riiight where I'm at. I dont want to leave, because that might put me out of my comfort zone. I know that whatever I do, and wherever I go, as long as the Lord is in all the decisions made, and prayer prayer prayer is taking place, I know that the decisions that will affect my life and change my life are for Gods glory and that I know I can make it through, and everything will be okay.(Some stuff may or may not happen in my life, and I can't discuss them as of now, buuuut prayers for my family would be appreciated.)XOXOBethany

God journal
I have another blog, but this blog is going to be strictly related to a more personal basis. In this blog I will be posting about things that God is doing in my life, things I'm struggling with, or just my thoughts, questions, or confusions.
I guess you could say this is sort of like a "journal" or "diary" but its just a way for me to express my feelings and maybe if someone reads this, they can relate and I can reach somebody through this blog.
I hope you enjoy.
:)
