Transplanted

Reality has begun to settle in. You see I have been transplanted from Florida to North Carolina. I have done ALL the things I know the Lord told me to do. I am taking one day at a time and one moment at a time. Recovery groups sure have helped me this week without even attending any for months. I have to keep first things first now.
I have seen my roots lifted out of dry land and soon to be planted into new nutritious soil. I just don't know when or where.  I am ready for it; like a parched mouth ready for a cold refreshing drink.
Walking by faith can be a very uneasy thing to do. I know how easy it is to look at the circumstances in front of you and wonder how life is going to get better.  It will and can though.
My roots are long, strong, and thick too. They didn't just grow that way. Nope, reading the Word of God, listening to teachers teach the gospel, and walking my salvation out on a daily basis.
The beauty of being transplanted is wondering what beautiful pot I will be living in; if I was a plant. I wonder how warm and inviting the teachers, friends and families will be. I wonder how much stronger and thicker my roots will become.
All these things I do not have an answer about.  However, I know the best potter in the whole world and He loves us so much, He will not leave us behind to fin on our own.
No, He will not leave us nor forsake us.

We may be transplanted people, but if we surrender our will and lives over to the care and control of Jesus Christ, He will take care of you and me.

~Be encouraged to spend time with Jesus and be transformed to transplanted. 

Some Life Lessons

Some life lessons cannot be taught out of a text book. In our prayer time we ask for more faith, a deeper walk with our Creator, or help with our unbelief. When we walk away from that time with God to continue our day; He answers us.
Next, a hardship comes by way of a sickness, death, loss of a job, an argument between two friends break out or an adultery is exposed. Leaving us to throw our hands up and yell "why?" in the mix of pain.
We go back to our knees only to hear God speak to our heart through His Word, people or the Holy Spirit. We're then shocked when the Lord tells us to not hate but love,  stay still instead of moving, or feel the pain instead of taking it away; leaving us to ask "why? " once more.
If there is one thing we should know coming out of our prayer time is that God will not leave us, He will not let us fail. He will allow us to fall only for us to run to him so that He can pick us back up, dust us of and send us on our way one more time. God loves us so much but He doesn't leave us but gives us lessons, lessons that cannot be taught out of a study book or out of the Bible but out of life. The Bible is our guide and there are those who have paved the way or cleared the path to help us along our journey.

~Be encouraged life lessons have second chances and God has a lesson in them all. Ask Him today what the lesson is and let Him guide you through it.

Life is a journey not a marathon.
