Faithful even when we are faithless

I myself am suffering no hardship. Yet my mom has cancer and she is growing very weak. I know that God calls good and bad into being that He may reveal himself in our weakest moments. To work moments when we are downtrodden into ones where he carries us and molds us into the likeness of His Son Jesus Christ. Those times when we are tested when we depend solely upon him for our needs.

It says in Isaiah 41:10
Fear not for I am with you. Be not dismayed for I am your God. I will sustain you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

When moments like these arise what is said about scripture memorization is true. When you keep the word of God within you, remembering it. Whenever a situation arises a verse comes in your mind, reminding me of the sovereignty of God.

He is my foundation which cannot be moved. I entrust myself into his care.

To God be the Glory for he strengthens the weak.

Faithful Witness

I pray that God allows me to be a faithful witness to Him. My life marred with so many failings that He will continue to change me as time goes on. Lord I don't care for a mansion or a car. I worry about persecution that is true. I had a waking nightmare where I saw my own face covered in blood. How fearful is such a thing. I come to God in ragged dress knowing that it does not conceal the sin beneath. He knows what is there yet he clothes me with righteousness how can I not follow my Lord after that. Why I had spent my life running from him I do not know? I am young still and I am pressed I don't know what is to become of me but I will follow my God Jesus Christ. How many nights have I wasted? How many mornings desperately wishing I could remain in dreams where sin in indulged and said to bring happiness? I awoke with a gleam in my eye that had everything to do with perversion and deep weariness. Will I return to that vomit. Not with the help of God. Jesus help me.

New Year: A Quarter Century Old

I am a 25 year-old Christian woman/girl. I still look like a teenager. I am putting away all the things of childhood to become an adult. Does that mean I don't have fun? No its just that I delight in the simple things. I want for this year to evangelize more. I hope to find another group soon. Anyway may this year be one of growing in the ways of Jesus Christ our God. By the word lets learn and let God guide our steps.
