These past few days..

Well, as I am sure most of you read my blog a couple days ago. We were going through a very rough patch and we still are. I prayed to God and just put it in His hands and I trusted Him. really trusted Him to help us get through this. Now, I don't trust to easy but I didn't know what else to do. He really came through for us. Putting everything in His hands and not worry about what was going on made our loves a lot simpler. He knows what He is doing. He knows when we have had enough and we can't take any more pressure. He helps us get through it. I truely believe that since we gave Him our trust He in return showed us that He is real and can be trusted.

I am glad to read that. However, I would like to encourage you the word of God. One thing is for certain you have to go through before you can breakthrough into another level of your relationship with God.

A woman carries a baby for nine months ( as you know already). Sometimes they may be or may not be complications while the child grows within her. Oh, but when it's time to give birth, the woman is going through excruciating pain. All she can holler is, "Take it Out!!! I hate you (her husband)!! I can't take it anymore!!! OWWWWWW!!"

But after all that hooping and hollering in pain, her precious little baby is born. Suddenly there's no more pain (maybe a tinch). But in the end, even though it hurted like crazy, the pain was well worth it.

I said all that to let you know you and your husband are in labor. You two are about to give birth. But, you cannot push until God said it's time. Doubting only holds up the process. Here are some scriptures...your epidurel [I know it's not spelled right, but close enough :)] to take some of the ease off your labor pains.

"For His anger [is but for] a moment, His favor [is for] life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy [comes] in the morning." (Psalm 30:5)

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
(2 Corinthians 5:7)

"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:37-39)

"For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds," (2 Corinthians 10:4)

"I WILL lift up my eyes to the hills-- From whence comes my help?
My help [comes] from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved;" (Psalm 121:1-3)

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7)

"Finally, my sister, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places.]"
(Ephesians 6:10-12)

"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue [which] rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness [is] from Me," Says the LORD." (Isaiah 54:17)


I know these may seem like a lot. But consider yourself highly medicated in God's word.

Stay Bless and Stay Strong!!
