I'm so glad winter is gone this winter was the worst for me it seems just glad spring has finally sprung.I would like to add on here I'm thankful for alot of things in my life God has blessed me with.Without his blessings I wouldn't be where I am today.
Even though I do have trials that come in my life I know I can look to God and he understands and will see me through but boy, the devil is real and it's so hard if you get out of God's Word being a Christian thats why I make sure I'm in his Word everyday someway some how even if I'm at work....It seems I have been tested with my faith last yr in 2008 and even now in 2009 I'm not sure why but I know all things happen for a reason.....
James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Being a Christian we get tested alot what to do in certain situations....I'm not perfect and I will be the first to admit I'm not..I do know I have been tested alot in my life of what to do and how to handle things and I'm just now having to really look to God for things cause I really have never had to want or ask for anything....
I have always worked for what I have ever wanted or needed so right now to rely on God or for anyone for that matter it's hard for me....I guess where I have grown up to be so independent not to rely on anyone it has worked for me up until now....
I remember when I was young and I first got into cars I loved how imaginative peoples minds could be about fixing up their cars and doing all kinds of things to them...The things they could do amazed me and even to this day I love going to car shows but I remember my dad telling me getting into cars was a good thing and he told me to understand how to work on them so if I was ever stranded on the side of the road alone I would be able to fix a flat or whatever it may be and wouldn't have to rely on a stranger to do it for me,so that is what I did and to this day I know how to do alot of things on my own even working on cars.....However that part is good and all but it has left me to only rely on myself in alot of other things in my life and not God....As I get more into God's Word he leaves me with Peace and understanding everytime he is so great....
Even when I have bad days he is still there with his arms opened wide....

Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
I read this verse and it just reminds me to keep hoping and praying and God will give me peace....Better said than done but I'm working on it....
~~~~~~~~~~
John 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again,and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
When I read this it's powerful to me because even though you could be down and out with things in life God is saying ,"I will see you again and your heart will rejoice and with my joy no man can take that away".

Shanna, This is beautiful and a blessing. I haven't blogged as much since FaceBook, and hadn't even read this. With Fall and Winter coming on, I am just now reading your Sprig blog. I am way behind, but I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed it. A lot has happened since then, for sure, hasn't it. Keep on getting in the Word of God; It's there you will continte to find the "Springtime"!
ReplyDeleteYes Ma'am ALOT has happened since this Blog.
ReplyDeleteGod is working so much right now it's wonderful. I will never understand how anyone can say my God isn't real.I must always look to him no matter what is going on in my life. Thank you Gail for being there for me & being such a good friend I have went through alot & you was always there. Without your prayers & calming me down some not sure what I would have done. LoL
