What do you do when you feel everything is happening all at once? “Everything” can consist of SO MANY THINGS- excitement, frustration, grieving, contentment. It can leave us feeling as though we have nothing left. Sometimes God lets us feel that everything is happening all at once so we learn to trust Him more. Of course, EVERYTHING we go through is to helps us trust Him more (if we let it!). But He knows sometimes we need an extra nudge of trust for what's ahead. You'll make it through this. Not because you are strong enough (none of us are!), but because God is. Everything I can tell you is because God has brought me through things in my past. I've learned a lot of lessons in my life already. And..I know there will be plenty more as long as I live on this earth. Whether that be something I'm struggling with now, or something I've struggled with before, or maybe it's something that goes away and comes back again. God is here. "God wants to use you to bless others." What you are going through *right now* will help you bless someone else down the line, I can guarantee it. Why? Because that's how God works. You go through situations you would never believe that you'd be able to get through and it is only because you are trusting God. He can and WILL use that! As I told a dear, dear friend of mine, “Life is tough, but so are you. Problems are big, but so is God.” And guess what? God is bigger. Sometimes when I'm struggling, I'll find a quiet spot and read through what I've written in the past- especially if those writings deal with problems I’ve faced. Why? Because I can be encouraged that I got through that. Not because of anything I did, but because God was carrying me. I might not have been able to feel His loving arms around me at all times but they were always there. Any time I couldn’t feel His presence was because I had taken my focus off of Him and placed it on the current situation. I know it won't all be sunshine. But I also know it won't all be rain. God knows how to mix those together just right. And later, you’ll be able to see it from His perspective and see a glorious rainbow. Just keep smiling, my dear friend. Keep trusting. Keep praying. Keep learning. Trust God's faithfulness. Keep Smiling Everyday :) {Never Miss a Post! Click here to subscribe and get my posts in your inbox!}
