I DIDN'T DO IT!!!!

People, people, people we need to understand that we didn't do it!! Do what? EVERYTHING! God is ALWAYS in control! That job you got was by God's will! That house you have was given to you by God! The bills being paid is by God's grace! Your health...praise God! Your car...praise God! Your kids...praise God! Your sanity...praise God! Your happiness...praise God! You...praise God! That car accident you walked away from wasn't due to impressive driving...God had you! The college acceptance letter you received wasn't because of your good G.P.A....God wanted it for you!

There's so many things we take for granted. There's so many things we think WE did yet in all actuality He did! We must remember to praise Him for all things!! Even when things look bad, we must still praise Him. Because Romans 8:28 says And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. We must keep Him in our heart and remember that He has our best interest in mind. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Therefore, nothing bad can happen to us or in our lives without God having a bigger plan. Praise God for that!

He is always in control! We don't own anything! We shouldn't take credit for anything! It's like plagiarism or something...taking credit for something that is yours. Let's not plagiarize God! Lol! Let's give Him the credit He deserves! Because if it wasn't for Him...we wouldn't be.

It's ok to cry...

Tears can bring about change. They can pour out your heart to God. They can make you think. They can change your mind. They can change your attitude. They can raise your standards. They can teach you. They can bring you back to obedience. They can bring you back to His feet. They can make you worship Him. They can make you praise Him. They can ask for forgiveness. They can rejoice. Tears can bring peace to your mind and rest for your soul. They can encourage you to get up. They can encourage you to move forward. They can help you succeed and hinder your failure. They can bring humility. They can overcome sadness. They can allow the Holy Spirit to remind you that you are victorious. Tears allow you to rest in His arms so He can tell you it will be okay. Tears can show you there is another way. Sometimes it's hard when you don't understand, but Proverbs 3:5-6 says He will direct our paths. All we have to do is acknowledge and trust in Him and He will see that we always win. No matter the situation, no matter the obstacle, whether we're up or down, remember there's no need to frown. We are all His. It's okay to cry out to Him. Just remember that after the tears have fallen, after we've told Him all that we can...God still has the master plan.

Idk a poem/rap/just thoughts

I'm sitting in silence, listening for His voice. Not exactly knowing what He's going to say. I'm waiting patiently, still hearing nothing. So much going on in my head from throughout the day.

What is it God? What are you trying to say? I must hear from you today. Speak to me Lord. Do not remain silent. Your voice is so loud and at times so quiet.

Where would you like me to go? What would you like me to do? Have Your way Lord. It's all up to You. I can't run from You. I can't hide. You know it all Lord. You see me from the inside. I don't wanna do anything else Lord. I just wanna worship You. I want to be obedient to Your will every single day. There is absolutely no other choice, there's no other way. You are my all. There's none like You. No one else in the world could ever replace You. No one can do what You do.

I hear You Lord! What is it that You say? Be patient dear child, don't delay. Your time is coming. It's just not right now. In the mean time, turn that frown upside down. I've promised you greatness not mediocrity. You shall receive all that I've promised thee.

But first there's a big task at hand! I've hand picked you to go into the land. Now do this deed and tell all that you see, that the great I AM is coming back. Now's the time to choose. 'Will I acknowledge Him or will I turn my back on Him? Will I remain luke warm until the end?' Let them know there's not much time. Will you choose to be mine?

Here's what you do after they've chosen: Go and make disciples of those who chose Him. Teach them My ways and how to apply them to their lives. And then send them out to affect others lives.

Remind them that My ways are not their own, and the only way to walk it out is to make His light shown. The flesh is weak but, praise God, the Spirit is strong.

Once they've understood this they can't go wrong. Tell them to save others using Romans 10:9. For if they just trust and believe they will become mine. No stumble or missed step will separate us. Why? Because my grace is sufficient enough.

Wow!! Praise God!! Thank You Lord!! Thank You!!

Faith

2 Corinthians 5:7 says we live by faith not by sight. Although we can't see what's ahead of us or know what will happen next we must continue to have faith in God knowing He's got our back. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Therefore, we know the God we serve doesn't want to do us any harm so we must trust, obey, and follow Him. It's like when I first got "Tammy" my GPS. She would say, "turn right'" and I would be like she don't know what she's talking about and I'd turn left. Tammy would then recalculate and direct me from where I was to the destination I was trying to get to. After awhile I realized that no matter which wrong turn I made, Tammy somehow was still going to get me where I needed to go. I now have faith in her. That's like us and God. It takes time to build that relationship, but once it's built there's no reason why we shouldn't have faith in Him. And He, better than Tammy, will always steer us in the right direction. We just have to choose to listen, be obedient and follow directions, and have faith that He'll get us where we need to be.
