A REASON

God gave each of us a purpose! I Love Him for that. I found this saying and wanted to share it with everyone...


PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or
spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give
you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season .

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Testimony

This was taken at the local park. Kolby, Auston and Mama.


Daniel and I joined our church last Sunday, it was part of a two week class. This last Sunday we had to give our testimony. I am terrible at speaking in front of people I don't know. My husband said that I did well, he better LOL. Now this Sunday we have to go up in front of church and be recognized, another fear. I have been told the only way to get over a fear is to face it.

MY TESTIMONY:
I was born into a Christian home and family. Both sides of my family were on fire for the Lord. I went to a Christian school through the 6th grade and was baptized at the age of 10. I think that growing up in a Christian home was great, I learned a lot from my grandparents. I started public school in the 7th grade and began to rebel. I was starting a new school with no friends. I found some not so great friends. I wasn't strong in my faith at the time so it was easy for me to turn my back on God. I started smoking and cussing. I lost myself. At 19 I found myself pregnant, selling and doing drugs, and in an abusive relationship. I quit the drugs and left my abusive boyfriend. I could not think of only myself anymore. God was pulling on my heart. He never stopped, I could always feel him. I just tried to ignore it. I stayed clean until my son was 3 months old. I started to fall back into old habits again. I did manage to find a great man, who later married me and we started on a new journey together. Two years into our marriage my husband became a Christian and we stopped living the fast track life, we were hurting our family and ourselves. It has been seven years clean and sober. I thank God everyday for giving me a second chance. My family and I have benefited from being Christians everyday. We are so blessed to have two healthy boys and strong marriage. I found my way home. Thank You Father.

Prayers

I just need some prayers in guiding me and my 10 year old son through a difficult time. My son and I are having a hard time with communicating to each other. We are seeking outside help and things are start to get a little better but, then things start to go bad again. I want to be the best mother I can and I have to stop myself from feeling like a failure. I know that you can guess that there is much more to this story and your right. I just don't feel free enough to share it all. I just need support with prayers. I don't know what more to say...... THANK YOU!


I am struggling with other family members and feel like I am drowning. I know, NO I believe that God will not give me more than I can handle. I am just having a hard time sifting my way through it all and keeping my emotions under control. Getting mad is easy, trying to not get mad and have my feelings hurt is really really hard.

Oh God Please Show Me the Way!
