Journeys

       We are all on them right? Good times bad times we are all in the same world. Fighting our own battles like we are alone. But, we are not alone. The daily complications that we have others have. The loneliness, the worry, strife's, we all have it. We only think we are alone. We think because everyone else around us seems to have no problems. If we learned to just open up a little more we would be surprised at what people hold. People look at us (and I say that as “others”) and say wow, they have the perfect marriage……ummm, no one does! They have the perfect life……again, no one does! Who do you turn to when you have these worries in you life? Or when life just seems to hard to handle, whether it be with your spouse, children, friends, teachers, co-workers, bosses……….?

     I turn to a couple of really good friends they always seem to have the right words or perspective. They can usually pull me some scripture to read. They are amazing people with great perspective on life. I turn to God a lot, so why turn to a friend. Well I asked a friend the other day her opinion on a situation in my life. She told me very factual of what I needed to do and how to handle it. My response to her is……Okay well you know me so well are you sure my personality and my heart can do that. She gave me that encouragement that I needed to be strong and that yes I can and she knows I can. I prayed over this for months now. God called these special people into my life to help me find the answers and the ways. I hope in many times I can do the same for them. We all sell our selves short of what we can do, accomplish, achieve. We are greater than that. We have God on our side and with him all things are possible. I am that person that cant for the life of me figure out my talents. I know I am good at some things but “talent” is such a mighty word. I can however go to my friends and see their talents almost as if they were on a big drive in movie screen. Lets give ourselves a little more credit on what we can achieve in life and when we think we are alone in what we are going through in our lives. Love our God, Pray to God and all else will fall in place. Perhaps not the way you want but surely the way God wants!!!
