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.

Dreams are Visions

Do you ever wonder what your dreams meanings are?  I do. It is ironic when dreams come with scriptures though.
Here's mine, enjoy.
I woke up thinkng "wow!"
I was looking for a destination and it seemed like I had been there before.
On my travels one man said, "here, I will take you to dinner." I replied," No, I need to get there "
We walked into a room that in a blink of an eye everyone had disappeared. There was one distinct voice behind the door I could hear but could not see.
The room had mahogany cabinets, desk, and a counter. To the right of the cabinets were tall glass windows. The view was breath taking! Mountains on the right and a city in the valley; the place I was trying to get to.
The only problem I had was that I didn't know the way and I began crying. I fell to my knees at the mahogany counter and asked God to lead me.
I awoke and quickly scripture came to me.
Isaiah 52:7
 How beautiful on the mountain top.
Isaiah 52:11a
Depart, depart, go from there!

God can use anything He wants to use to get your attention. 
What signs and wonders has He used recently to get your attention?

~Be encouraged,  He is in the small details of our lives.
