Giver of Peace

So school is ending and I have way more time to blog and interestingly enough with less to do I have more to say!  Funny how things work!  Well here is what is currently on my heart for sharing...


Yesterday was an extremely difficult day for me, it took me hours to get out of bed and I honestly did practically nothing for the entire day.  I needed that day, just to let all my thoughts, feelings, and emotions out.  Sometimes its okay to do that.  One of my favorite books, The Shack, puts it this way:  "Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears.  They can be healing waters and streams of joy.  Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak."

I have been praying constantly for direction, guidance, answers, and most importantly peace in where He is currently leading me.  Let me tell you guys something, GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS.  He says in John 15:7 "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."  My prayers are continually being answered and its such a beautiful things to see God's work going on in my life.

My main point is give it all to him.  Surrender it all.  Trust that He will do what He said He would.  Know that He will never lead you down the wrong path or let you fall. He has you in His loving embrace and with His will comes peace.  Here are a few of the things God has shown me in His word recently.

"Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groaning too deep for words.  And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."  Romans 8:26-27

"And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."  1 Peter 5:10

"So we do not lose heart.  Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen.  For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."  2 Corinthians 4:16-18
