When I started out writing, I was a 35 year old single mom of 3, just recently saved and living in my FEMA trailer after hurricane Katrina. I am now almost 42 and a married mom of 3. It has been an adventure to say the least. The storm took away everything we had except my FAITH! I had great faith and on fire for Jesus. Since then I still have faith...sometimes it's so small that I can barely find it but Jesus said....
"Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to there and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" Matthew 17:20
NOTHING will be impossible for me (you)! Then why am I struggling on most days with hectic schedules, chaos, overload of the brain, worry, fear, anxiety? I'm a woman of FAITH and I feel so funky!
It's because I'm focusing on the what if's...the why me..the it's not fair...etc. Our minds can be such a terrible thing sometimes...well at least mine is. I'm so far from getting it "right" and having that great peace that I see other Christian women have...or do they? I think that they have more than me but do they struggle on some days too?
God never promised us that we'd have an easy life but he did promise to never leave us or forsake us. Deut 31:6 " Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Every day is a learning experience, a time to grow, a time to fall, a time to get up, and every day that I wake up, I know that I have a new day to draw closer to Jesus. It's my choice what I do with the day.
I love inspiration! I crave it! I hope that somehow the info I pass on can help inspire you!
Blessings,
Shawna
