My Main Verses for 2017

"Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance."- Jude 1:2


"Her ways are pleasant ways,
    and all her paths are peace."-Proverbs 3:17


"Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!"-2 Corinthians 9:15



"A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of."-John 10:10

          I know this entry is a little late to but at least it is being written in the 1st month of the year. I decided that I needed to do some entries with verses in them. It is good for me and for others too or that is what I hope. I kind of had a slide back too after I wrote these verses. It has not be a fully abundant life so far. It has been hard but I still what these verses to be the verses of my life this year. They all have one thing in common. 

           That one thing is: GOD WANTS US TO HAVE A LIFE THAT IS FULFILLED! God has given us promises that we can look to and know that we will get. These 4 verses are only some of the promises that God has given us. The main promise that I get from all of these verses is: Peace because I need that in this moment of my life. Everything is so confusing and messy right now, I don't know what to do with my life but these verses remind me that I can have peace because God has control. 

           The other promises that God has given us through these verses are: an indescribable gift, real and enteral life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of, Mercy, Love, and pleasant ways and paths. These verses kind of makes you look forwards to the life you can have with God. Who wouldn't want a life of all of those? Yet, we don't have to wait for that life in Heaven when we could have it right here on earth. We only need to trust God and follow Him. We need to stop worrying all the time and just step out in faith. 

           While I am writing this, I am carefully thinking about it in my life. There are so many things I want to do but yet I am scared to do them. I think I am not good enough or that I won't have enough money or that it won't fit into the times that I want it to fit into. That is our problems right there. We are so in control or want to be that sometimes it can hold us back and we know that but we still won't let go. Then it gets me thinking: "Is life really something to be wasted by just sitting here and doing nothing or waiting on something or should we go for it when we have the chance to go for it?"

           Right now I am really struggling with wanting to travel on mission trips again and wanting to be a single foster parent. I know I can't do both at the same time but I am trying to see in what order does God want me to do them so I can have a fulfilled and peaceful life for Him, not for me. I would also love to throw marriage and my own family in there too but I honestly think that is becoming more of it will happen if it does, if not then I am fine with it. 

           I know I have big dreams and a great life ahead of me because of how God made me but now it is just about how do I put (tread) it all together so everything will work out. Letting God have complete control over it is something that I am still working on too.
