"Beloved, when you’re feeling afraid and anxious, choose to bring your thoughts back to what Christ has done for you at the cross. Instead of being “victim-minded”, choose to be victory-minded! Meditate on how the finished work of Christ at the cross means that Jesus has defeated the devil and removed every right he has to enforce death or any other evil in your life!"~Joseph Prince

I share this with all of you who are struggling with your current life's circumstances and are frustrated with not knowing your future. God is in control and I know you trust Him but it still gets hard sometimes. The Lord is moving in our lives every single second of every single day and this storm has meaning just like the hardships of the past. It is how we choose to handle our struggles that determines how our day will go. I choose to not dwell on what is going on and instead I cherish the gift of today and I stay grateful for what I have, not what I don't have. I have made many mistakes that I cannot change but I know God can right my wrongs and I know He will do what is best for me. If I am asking for His will to be done in my life, than I cannot get angry, fearful or upset when something happens..or nothing happens. Isn't this what we are prepared for? Yes! Isn't this when our faith matters the most? Yes! So just stay focused on the cross and stay in today. Don't allow yourself to go down the mental rabbit hole of coulda, woulda, shoulda...it does not do anything accept upset and get you down. So stay positive in knowing your faith will get you through this and this too shall pass in His perfect timing. Let go and let Him do this for you. You will be so glad you did. And lastly, do not lean on your own understanding by over analyzing it all, it will give you a headache....just trust Him!- Proverbs 3:5
