All morning I had been thinking about the journey that Scott
and I are on to conceive, with almost 4 years in its way to easy to get discouraged.
Ya know though God has a way of well being God (haha) and I have no doubt that
he aligned things today so that my faith would be restored. When I got out of
the tanning bed and back into my car, I caught the last little bit of the
message below on 106.9. Like I said I just caught the last little bit but what
I heard went something like “We all have a crucible that is in our lives it
could be I’m a single parent or a number of things like we are trying for
children…that thing, the crucible in your life is the very thing God
wants you to praise him for!” At first I was like umm no I didn’t just hear
that, and then there was a peace in my heart and I knew that I was in-fact
meant to hear this message. Once I got home I did what I have always been
taught to do, which is read the scriptures for myself and I did, I also listened
to the message a few more times. I talked with Scott about it, and I took notes
LOTS of notes! Ephesians 5:20 says: “Give
thanks always for all things to God the father in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ”. I’m sure this message can help someone else!
For me as a believer it really opened my eyes and my heart about the things
that I’m willing to let God be in control of in my life! I encourage you all to
listen to this message and then do like I did and read the scriptures for
yourself! We all really do have a crucible in our lives and although the choice
of praising God for it is not an easy task, I’m sure I was meant to hear the
message so that I would change my praise, and thus my situation will change,
one last tidbit I gathered from this message was “You will know your faith is in the right place when you choose to praise
God in all times for all things!”
Small side note I had initially intended this post to be a
Facebook status update but then remembered I have a blog! haha and I can
make my post on my blog as long as I want and they can be about
anything I want...with the added bonus that is someone doesn't want to
read it then they simply don't have to click the link to my blog! And so
here on the blog this post has landed its really a win win! Is this a come back to the "blogger world"? Guess we'll all have to wait and see! ;)
