God Works All Things Together For Good


Isn't it amazing having a prayer answered? Isn't it even better being apart of that answered prayer? Today I had the opportunity to see one of my prayers being in the process of being answered. Although I know God is going to do so much more, it's just exciting to see the start.
Tonight I got invited to a church service and I was really excited to go. I decided to invite a new friend of mine who I knew was very excited in her newly found walk with God. She was excited to go and so she took up on the offer. They had a praise and worship then a message. 
The message focused on our life and how God has such great plans for our life, even though we might not understand why we are in the situation we are in now. Even though things might seem tough for us right now, God is in the process of making something great happen.
'We know that God works all things together for good for the ones who love God, for those who are called according to His purpose.' Romans 8:28
That verse is very true, God will work all things out if we just trust that He will do so. The speaker was a phenomenal preacher who had such a great story to tell. He was very interesting to listen to. 
I am definitely looking forward to continuing to go to these services, hopefully every week. 

It's just a huge deal to me that I got to experience this with some one I never thought who be interested in it. Not the individual but the person. If that makes sense. I never thought my ex would be with a person who would be able to influence him in such a huge way. I am thankful that God laid on my heart to let this girl in and in a way be able to influence her to get to know God. 
I am witnessing God answering my prayer of working through myself so that these two will open their hearts to God and let Him in their life. I am so happy to see this and to be a part of it. It's truly awesome and fills my heart with happiness. I had a great time tonight and I look forward to many more nights like this (minus my truck not starting and it being freezing cold outside, waiting around for an hour) BUT! It was a great time. So excited for what the future holds.

In Prayer

Do you want to grow spiritually?  Of course we do! I do!  Pastor Greg Laurie goes more into depth of prayer while studying The Lord's Prayer in Luke 11.  The basic things are the main things we need to focus on. Stating the most important things are the simplest things. Prayer is communicating and listening to God. In Luke 11 the disciples are asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus then began ' The Lord's Prayer '.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2 We must pray according to the will of God. We need to ask God to give us the plan for our life. His will for us will be done on this earth, only if we ask.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. Luke 11:4 We need to confess our sins, even if we don't believe we have do

The 'Traditional Family'

Image
Tuesday while listening to Greg Laurie, he said something that really hit home and I began to feel sad, upset, hurt and even a little angry. This is what he said and I quote  "The idea of a traditional family seems to be something of the past. So many broken homes today... We have to visit dad and his new wife and we have to visit mom and her new boyfriend and I have all these new step brothers and sisters and the whole thing is sort of...icky. Uncomfortable. Awkward." -Greg Laurie  Well Pastor Greg, you hit that one spot on. Before he made that quote he addressed that there are broken home in the result of divorce. However, to be in that situation he described doesn't always have to be the result of a divorce. It could simply be the result of ignorance as well!  Growing up, I always told myself I would never have a broken family, and if you have kept up with my blog you have heard that plenty of times.  Well no one ever wants to have a broken family. But for me, that was

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
