Simply Sharing!!

I have had many conversations lately regarding unanswered prayers....dreams unfulfilled...desires still burning in many hearts..and I began to question God of why? Not that he had to give me an answer but he began to show me several different points....so I thought I would share....

I know we've heard this a million times BUT in his infinite wisdom he knows what is best for us!! He began to show me that one of the greatest treasures is to learn to trust him...I have to admit in times past..it was never one of my top prayer requests, but in learning how to quietly and patiently trust in him, there is so much he will give you along the way! You see, I am finally at a point where I am not truly chasing things(ecspecially visions I believe he has given me) but rather chasing the peace of God, seeking the true meaning of this life...on a daily basis. For those of you who know me, I never thought I would be a mother and I am...and each day when I TAKE THE TIME TO STOP,LOOK & LISTEN, I experience his presence, his power, his strength, his joy, his kindness through situations I never would have dreamed could satisfy me!!! You see, I thought I knew me...and I do to a certain extent...BUT GOD...he knows what I'll enjoy in my 30's...in my 40's and so forth and by simply staying steady I'm sure he'll continue to hold me in the comfort of his will!! So, with that frame of mind...I can walk in peace. I am learning that life will present challenges BUT life also gives us a choice...either to learn to overcome challenges or succumb to them. I am learning that to overcome challenges means to trust in him. Now, don't misunderstand this...I have not let go of other dreams but I have simply embraced and accepted seasons. Their are some visions God had given me years ago...that are on the way....but, for now he's building character for starters and many more attributes he'll need for his use. I am learning we are all connected and I am an intricate part of the persons he has placed in my life...you see, I believe purpose is an everyday thing! So, many times we are waiting on that vision, that unanswered prayer that we forget the answered prayers...but oh...we must not forget, this is vital to our walk and he has something beautiful to teach us.... all the time! Isn't he just grand! My prayer my sisters... is to simply trust & obey and then trust some more...it's called faith! Oh yeah, as a final point, enjoy everyday because their are so many treasures in each day....pray for God's wisdom, I'm sure once he begins revealing his wisdom..your days will look different..no matter what the situation!

GOD BLESS!
