First thing - I am not perfect nor claim to be. I don't have this figured out in any way nor do I claim to. In fact some days I have more questions than anything.
But I know by no means is my family the only one going through hell on earth right now. Our storm is a slight rain shower in comparison to the battles some people are facing and yet to us it is a category 5 hurricane.
I can't explain the details of our storm right now because we are in litigation and really the details don't matter. Whether a storm is sickness, financial, spiritual, physical, marital or any other kind, it's still a storm. One day I will share the whole story because I believe God will want it told. For right now all I will say is in January we lost our source of income.
We ask so often why to God? And I have come to one conclusion. When I gave my life to Jesus Christ my life became the book on which God is writing His testimony. NOT MINE! GOD'S TESTIMONY! I am just the ink He is using to write it.
You know the best part of that is we already know how the story will end. God is victorious and He will be glorified.
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28 NKJV)
So why this blog - because I want God to get the glory on the good days, on the bad days, on the days I want to quit and the days I see the victory. And hopefully if I can be an open book and real with you then maybe God can use my life to help someone else stand in their storm. I believe that's why so many people's faith end up washed up shipwrecks during storms because we aren't real with each other. We feel like we are failures because we can't stand when the rain hits and we are going to hell for doubting. Have you read the Bible? The greatest people of faith were weak, they fainted, they doubted, they cursed the day they were born, they didn't stand strong. But it was Gods testimony and He included their stories to help us see that we are weak apart from Him and His Spirit working in us. By no means am I on the level of those great biblical figures. But I want to be real. I am a bruised reed but He is healing me. He will not let me break!
Lord be glorified in my life. Let Your light shine through the pages of my life. I thank you that You stand on the victory side with this battle already won. So lead me through.
