Our journey

God gave all of us a life to live and to walk a journey. On our journey, it’s not going to always be good things that we encounter.  In the process of walking the journey, the goal is to grow within, give hope to one another, build a closer relationship with God and to work towards making it to heaven.

We do that by first becoming a child of God, loving and forgiving one another, being humble and allowing God to work in our lives. That means walking with the cross and sacrificing to do the right things in life within ourselves and with others. (Treat people the way we would want to be treated).  The path on our journey sometimes will have bumps in the road that will take us time to move forward and sometimes situations in life take us on other paths.  At the same time and through all of that, God is still with us. 

We have to understand that when it gets tough, sometimes it’s a plan for us to grow or learn some things. Sometimes when we have trials and tribulations, it’s a time when God is teaching us what we need to know and sometimes it’s simply growing and learning how to get back up and start again when things don’t go our way.

The moral of all of this is when it gets tough, don’t give up because this is when you must stand firm and allow God to work in your life.  Each bad situation I was in, looking back, I can see why that happened.  I became stronger, I became wiser and I became a child of God that was able to look through His lenses.  At the time, I didn’t understand and I was stressed out but as I became older, God showed me what was good for me and what wasn’t.

You see, sometimes what we want may not be what God wants for us.  Sometimes what we want may not be good for us and sometimes things have to happen according to His plan.  I want to share something with you that helps me deal with situations. When things don’t happen the way I think they should at the time, I say, “Well I guess God has another plan.” and I’m just going to keep it moving until He shows me the way.

God is definitely the core of our lives and when we have faith in Him with love, patience and His guidance, we’ll witness the blessings that we pretty much already have been given and the ability to see what He’s doing in our lives.  That’s where Joy comes from and how we’re able to have peace.

Let’s not get caught in the stress, drama or whatever the world puts in front of us but instead trust God and know that He’s what enables us to begin again each day through all things.

Also, when we’re dealing with situations with others, we have to be the bigger person and shed some light for others by allowing our light to shine. We have to always remember that when we have tough situations, others do too so when people come at us the wrong way, it may be a cry for help or someone to lean on. That’s giving hope and that’s God putting us in a win, win situation on Our Journey.

Amen and Amen. Thank you Lord
