Miracles

You know. For the longest time, I have always felt like if someone asked why I believe in God, I would have nothing more to say to them than just, "Because I can feel it in my heart, I JUST know. It is something I can't explain, but I can't deny it either." I have never been satisfied with that answer. I've always wanted more. Wanted experiences in my own life to be able to share with people. Miracles. Things that I have witnessed that just scream out there is a God who loves you. This past week. God gave me more miracles than I can handle. I am almost anticipating the next time someone asks me that question. Bring it on.

Life

Life. It is such a simple concept and yet, so many of us don't get it. Life is a gift. It is something to be treasured, to be cherished, to be truly LIVED. I don't just mean every hour or two, I mean every second of every day. Many of us take this life for granted. Even if this life here on Earth is only a grain of sand compared to eternity in Heaven, I was not put on this Earth to waste it away, no matter how short our time really is here. We are here on Earth because God wants us to be. We are here to make a difference. We are here to touch lives and be touched. To love and be loved. To explore, go on an adventure, enjoy this beautiful world that is all around us. No, of course there is still sin everywhere, not every place in the world is a pretty sight, but God is there! He is everywhere and that is why every person and every place in this world should not be taken for granted. Life. It can be taken from you at any moment. Heaven. The place we all should strive to be. When we get there, Earth won't even be able to be compared to Heaven. Right now though, most of us aren't there. We are here. And while I am here, I will continue to be a good and loyal servant to my Savior and I will LIVE. Just as I know I am suppose to.

"What good would it do to get everything you want but lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?" -Mark 8:36-37

How dang awesome is that verse? It is pretty much my new favorite verse of all time!! "What good would it do it get everything you want but lose you, the real you?" Oh my gosh. I LOVE it. And right now in my life, It means SOOO much. Hits right at home and lets just say, wow, God never seizes to amaze me with HIS WORD!!! :D :D :D :D

Currently I am finding comfort in the fact that even though I may not know why I am "here", God knows EXACTLY why I am "here". By "here" I mean where I am in life right now. Sometimes you don't know why you are "here", but there's always a reason. God is the only one who knows the big picture and for now, I'm ok with that. What fun would life be knowing the outcome anyway?? :D

“There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever."
-Mahatma Gandhi

Could this be any truer? I don't think so. It is interesting to think about and the more I do, the more I realize that worrying is the most pointless thing in the entire universe. I am a follower of Jesus Christ, how could any worry ever fill my heart???? :)

Here You Go Farah :)

Now you can keep a mental picture of me in your head. Love and miss you dearly!

Peace

It is amazing how much peace Jesus can bring to ones life...even as it is spiraling out of control.

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”—John 16:33

I just want to say that God's timing is ALWAYS perfect and ALWAYS right. Don't be mad about things you want that you don't have yet, because in the end, when those things do come around, you will understand why it never happened until now. God knows the best time and I couldn't be more thankful for that.
