Don't Get Discouraged! It Will Happen! Hebrews 10:25

A Walk of Faith

"Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness." Romans 4:3

Today  I have come face to face with some harsh opposition against the PROMISE God has given me. Do you have a dream or promise from God? Are you still waiting for Him to bring it to pass? I am confident that I am not alone today.  The wait can be long. The facts can and will stack up against the promise. Our feelings and emotions want to take over.  The reality of  today is screaming opposite of what God promised.  Temptation and discouragement are inviting us to walk down the path of unbelief.  Have you been there? Maybe like me you are there today.  It is at this very moment you and I have to make a decision to BELIEVE the TRUTH of God's Word over the facts of our circumstances.

Once Upon a Time: God in the Midst of Shattered Dreams

Once Upon a Time

 We all have daydreamed, planned and prayed for BIG DREAMS for our future.  And we should. It starts as a small child. "When I grow up"...  fill in the blank. We can't wait to experience life and we begin working towards those dreams. We anticipate and long for the day our dreams will come true.  We even write the script for how it will all happen and what it will all look like. The college, the career, the ministry, the spouse, the home, the car, the perfect kids.  Right? So exciting! Ahh: Smile!  We know God has big plans for us and they are GOOD.  He has given us promises and dreams.  As we get older, we become consumed with the "dream".  We want it so bad!  For me it was becoming a teacher, serve in ministry, marry a man who will serve & love God along side me, a man who will love, honor and cherish me, be the perfect wife, be the perfect Christian,  become a mommy(and be the BEST mommy ever!) and live happily ever after in glorious bliss!  I'm pretty confident that I am not alone in this "dream"  process. How about you? What is your Once Upon a Time? 

Hebrews 11:1 The Journey Starts Here with my New Blog

Life

Filled with joy, sorrow, ups, downs, twist and turns.  Always changing. Growing. Successes and failures. At times exciting. At times it feels like a losing battle.  My life has not led me on the journey that I thought I would travel but it has given me the experiences that molded me into  the woman I am today. Life does not always go as planned. What do we do then? Life is not always fair. How do we respond? Like you, I have had my share of struggles as well as beautiful miracles.  I am still on the "journey" and I would love you to join me.  Life is always better when traveling with someone. Let's be real. Let's connect. Share pieces of our journey. We need each other to keep going. Today is a new day.  Thank God for the gift of life and the journey we are on.
