It's Been Awhile...

I haven’t blog in a while; I have had lack of inspiration, letting my own feeling get in the way. I refuse to publish a blog that comes from me and my emotions.
If you know my family well, you know that we are in the midst of a lot of unknowns, which is very difficult. It’s hard to plan anything or commit when have no idea what our schedule will look like.
In the midst of our craziness, the one thing that keeps us afloat is knowing that we serve a God who is always there. Even when it feels like he’s left us, he is ALWAYS there. All I have to do is find him or listen and he is there as clear as the sunshine (In Arizona). This is the hope that I carry in my pocket that keeps me pushing on, over the mountains- and holy cow do these mountains feel huge.
Philippians 3:12-14 (New International Version)
Pressing on Toward the Goal
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
If there are ‘mountains’ in your life- bathe in these verses. Life is difficult even as a believer but what I do know is God has laid the path and conquered the mountains for us already, all we have to do is recognize it.
Psalm 116 (the Message)
1-6 I love God because he listened to me, listened as I begged for mercy.
He listened so intently
as I laid out my case before him.
Death stared me in the face,
hell was hard on my heels.
Up against it, I didn't know which way to turn;
then I called out to God for help:
"Please, God!" I cried out.
"Save my life!"
God is gracious—it is he who makes things right,
our most compassionate God.
God takes the side of the helpless;
when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me.

In the midst of climbing your mountain I challenge you to stop today and find God- he’s there waiting.
