What a busy September. Many of us resumed school, or are getting into the swing of fall with work. On my front the Lord has been good in just continuing to grace me in the many roles I play as a sister, student, babysitter/nanny & friend, and give me strength day to Day to live intentionally for Him and not for this world.

Not gratifying our flesh can be so hard, but with Christ, He says learn from Him, take on His yoke for it is light, and makes living in the spirit and not the flesh so easy!(Matthew 11)

So, topic number four the Lord laid on my heart to write on, is how trusting God won't fail you! For some of you reading this you may be like, "Janet, God's already failed me, nothing's happening like I had planned", for others you are like "Janet yes God is good all the time"...but deep in your heart you don't really trust that statement. Yes, we can't see God physically(although His creations are all around us), and life because it's not perfect definitely has it's ups and downs, but we still MUST believe the scriptures when it says God never changes and because we have read some of the most hard hit humans in the bible, we too can weather the storms of this life!

There are so many areas that when you let Go, and truly believe and trust in the Lord, that He will truly come through. The secret formula, well there really isn't one...its just having faith, and lots of it!

Relationships

Sometimes, I hear other people's love stories and I think to myself, "Wow, I thank God, God brought them together," but then I wonder and think, I don't want my love story to be like that..what took the guy so long to pursue the woman and commit to knowing she was the one, and or why did the woman take such slack from the man!? I would then start thinking of all these semi negative things and wonder will my story be different, will God come through for me in my desire to serve Him, and to have a man of God have such a conviction to intentionally pursue me..

The bible encourages us to think these thoughts in our state of self doubts towards God:

James 1:6

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Mark 11:23

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Even without us praying, God knows our desires! We shouldn't doubt that He will help us and that He won't bless us, because He will indeed! The more doubt we have in our hearts the less faith we'll have in believing God is NOT a God that will fail us.

Academics

I was just reading in one of the books my uncle wrote, the success story of his one and only wife, my aunt. He shared my Aunt, his wife, had come to the United States at 21 and had to start college all over again. Long story short she moved to the U.S. enrolled in a community college, went on to earn a four year degree, and finally an M.D. and an M.P.H, AND in the midst of it all got married and had their first son. Can you say GOD!!!!! An amazing story of perseverance, determination, faith, and truly pressing into the strength of the Lord in knowing He surly won't fail you. You, the reader may be thinking your academic pursuit is so bleak, because the bible says those that don't work won't eat, but slow and steady wins the race. It's not how you start but its truly how you finish and beloved you will finish your academic path with God on your side in Jesus name! Having faith that this season will be completed will ensure that God won't fail you.

Family

I was just reflecting on the stories of different families and the old adage "no family is perfect", that all families have some type of imperfection. In listening to one pastor he mentioned the issues he had with his father growing up, and how they were now spilling into his marriage. He stated ,he didn't get alot of affirmation from his father so he would feel less than, around others, even those that would affirm him and assure him he was loved. This is just one of the many types of stories one may hear when it comes to issues within a family, especially a relationship with a father and a daughter. The promise of those who serve the Lord is that these problems within the family, no matter if its physical, mental, or emotional God can give us a way out and miraculously repair what once was broken within a home and fully restore it! What's needed is Faith, no matter the grim outlook or the amount of years, faith is what gives you the end result that God is not and never will be a failing God!! I have heard and even in my case ,stories of how God has truly blessed families in solving all their issues. The same God that worked for them will work for you!

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

FAITH:

Forsaking

All;

I

Take

Him

Faith, is what you truly need to have God in your corner and to believe God is ever present to be your Helper. However, to have God as your helper, do you know Jesus at all? Can you call on His name and He'll answer you and say well done? Or do you go to church sometimes, you like what you hear but everything's said and gone as soon as you hit the door? Knowing the Lord, for REAL, ensures us that God is truly interceding on our behalf, and the option of failing in situations that are in God's will, will NOT be thought of. All you have to do is forsake and repent of the acts that make you feel guilty, dirty, and cause so much pain. That lying, stealing, multiple abortions, oral and vaginal sex pre-marriage, drinking, snorting and smoking drugs, cheating on your spouse, watching that Porn, forsake it all, tell it all to Jesus and let HIM bear your sins, worries and fears of this life. Then accepting Yahwah(Jesus) as your Lord and savior and your past is totally wiped clean, and in following His ways, and believing in your heart Jesus is Christ,you will live a victories life!

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
