Here is a little part of David Platts' sermon on Modesty that is so encouraging. If you have some time, give a listen.
When you pick out an outfit to wear, ask yourself these questions or similar ones: "Is this going to glorify and honor God?", "Is this outfit going to show that I want to shine for God in what I wear?"
A few weeks ago I was supposed to find out my second treatment for my Kidney Disease that I have. After many Dr. appointments and continually waiting... I was starting to get really frustrated. Today, I started losing hope and I was getting really frustrated that I have been put on one of my treatments and not the other one that is supposed to work with the first treatment. I was getting down and discouraged for not having answers. Then I was continually reminded of a sermon that I listened to a month or two ago from one of my Pastor's. He was talking about how God only gives us the details that we need right now. If we knew everything that God had planned, then we would not want to go on this long journey... So we need to continually thank God for the details He has only provided for now. As I was continuing through my day working and doing homework... I became really discouraged again. I reached out to my birth brother from Oklahoma and a few friends to ask for prayer for pat...
This song called, Broken is extremely encouraging and has been a huge encouragement to me. The lyrics are extremely powerful. Honestly this song is exactly how I feel currently. Literally I feel like I am barely holding on... But I keep reminding myself that God has a purpose for me even if I don't see it right now... I just need to keep remembering that God has some sort of plan, even if I don't feel that way.
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you all are doing well. So today I have been really thinking about it. At times I get discouraged feeling that maybe my blog isn't encouraging other people through what they are going through or maybe I am just not an interesting person. But then, I just have to keep reminding myself that God has a plan. Even if others don't like what I write about or they don't find it interesting... At least it is a thing for me to be able to go back and read later on or to show my kids in the future if they go through similar things (and then they can know they aren't alone). Honestly, I would love my blog to encourage others that read it to know that God has a plan for every single thing we go through. Yes, it may be painful as we are going through it... But every single thing I have gone through, God has been here every step of the way, guiding me, me and pulling me through all of this... And He is making me stronger through it all. And then one day...
