Look on Life

Everyday is a new day for me. When I get up in the wee hours of the morning, I think about my upcoming tasks and assignments. I believe that God in fact does have a plan for me and is watching over me constantly. Each day is full of trials and tribulations that test me. I believe that God puts what He thinks I can handle on my plate each day. Not only is He at my side when I struggle, but He also watches over me when I complete numerous tasks.

Everyday I read some passage in the Bible that I contemplate over. This is basically my "daily fuel" that gets me through. Not only do I think about the passage that I read daily, I also think about my favorite verse that lifts me up each time I am down. Jeremiah 29:11 states "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

Each day this verse gets me through some sort of trial and also allows me to see God's abundant protection that He has on me. Each day is full of things that irk me and annoy me and even disappoint me, but Jeremiah 29:11 allows me to get through them.

Some time ago I was asked if I believed that God is real and does truly exist. My answer was of course "yes." My proof is in Genesis and through out the Bible. Not only did the person step down and not argue with me, the verses got him more interested in Christianity. I believe that God led this person to me in order for me to help them. He knew I could handle this task and I did.

Some things that amaze me about God and what He does in my life:
* He listens to my prayers daily
* He shows me the way that I need to go
* He allows me to explore His world around me
* He gives me comfort and people to support me
* He created me in HIS image
* He gave me an AWESOME support group (family and friends)
* He allows me to be an Individual
* He guides me where I need guiding
* He allows me to live my life with Him by my side
* He is my rock and my Savior

Have a great night!!!!
