Pray the Hardest, when it is the hardest to pray

        I wrote this down in my journal last night in the middle of the night because I woke up and could not go back to sleep. After I wrote it, I went to sleep peacefully. I am warning you I am typing on my phone because my internet is messed up right now.         After I got my apartment packed up and my family left for the day, I sat in the middle of my bedroom floor and the tears started to flow. I was crying off and on all day if I was not a sleep. I have been so strong for a long time but yet I cannot share what I am feeling out loud. Everything is happening so fast after 5 years in one apartment! Everything is changing so fast and if you really know me I do not do well with change at all. That is when I get high level of anxiety.          I have no idea where I will end up at. I am trying to trust God in all of this because I know He has a plan but I am a person that a...

In my distress  I called to the  Lord ;      I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice;      my cry came  before him, into his ears. 7  The earth trembled  and quaked,      and the foundations of the mountains shook;      they trembled because he was angry. 8  Smoke rose from his nostrils;      consuming fire  came from his mouth,      burning coals  blazed out of it. 9  He parted the heavens and came down;      dark clouds  were under his feet. 10  He mounted the cherubim  and flew;      he soared  on the wings of the wind. 11  He made darkness his covering,  his canopy  around him—      the dark rain clouds of the sky. 12  Out of the brightness of his presence  clouds advanced,    ...

          " I was working for Focus on the Family’s children’s magazines, and my supervisor gave me a Mother’s Day Card. Inside she had written: “Thanks for being a spiritual mother to thousands of children.” I hadn’t thought of my job as mothering.   I viewed my childless life differently after that. I began to see all of the children God had placed in my life to nurture: nephews and nieces, my friends’ children, the kids in the Sunday School class I taught, even a teen I met for coffee once a week."        " I didn’t view these experiences as a consolation prize for not being a mom yet. They were God’s gifts and a chance for me to live in ways I had been created for — long before I became someone’s actual “Mommy.” As I embraced my nurturing side with other people’s children, I had less fear about never having children of my own."        "He can provide exactly what you need to live the full reality of who H...

       "It is a hard decision because you have to really pray and figure out if this is something you want or God wants. That is the hardest part of this whole thing is putting your thoughts and feelings aside and only hearing God. I think if you are able to do that every thing else will answer itself. God is always growing us and changing us, and it is good not to be comfortable, because if you are comfortable you are not open to the change God could be making in you. God had just slightly changed the path he wanted me to walk down."         "I know people hear this a lot but you must prayer. Sometimes we want the answers so fast we forget who to ask the question to. Pray for wisdom, guidance and for His Will to be done." I hope God put the answers on your heart......all in His Timing of course." - From a Friend          I always look at this saying and think that it is very challenging. At the same time, every time I ...
