Turn sorrows Into Joy!

I could sit here and go on and on for 3 to 5 paragraphs about how pathetic my life is, but I rather not~

I was sitting in my bed a week or so ago crying about how pathetic my life is! Sometimes I feel so useless like there is nothing I can do about it. I wish I could help my church more, get them more into it, but I don't even know where to begin with a church of 1000 people, give or take! I wish I had more money for school, the only reason I was going to a secular school to begin with was because I thought it was paid for, but its not completely and now I feel like I shouldn't be spending money on something God hasn't even called me to do! I wish I was more of an example to people around me, from family, to friends at school and church! AND BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!!

Like I said I can go on forever!

But as I was sitting there freaking out about everything it hit me, a little voice, telling me to not be afraid and to stop worrying, "For God has not given me the spirit of fear" !

Suddenly I had a whole change of attitude, I cleared up my tears and started thanking God for what I do have, what I have done and what I will be doing! I reminded myself that Im in the shepherds field right now, and in due time I will be where I need to be. I just got to keep my eyes focused on the truth and trust in God!

I though I've put all trust in God before, but I was wrong...for once I truly did lean on Him and Him alone!

The next morning, no lie, A check came in the mail! Just enough to take care of my college for this year! Wednesday night in youth we didn't even go back to our classes because the spirit of God fell so hard during worship we just couldn't stop! A friend messaged me on facebook saying she finally went to church and got saved, and couldn't wait to tell me and thank me for praying for her! And there is so much more thats going on and that God has in store I wish I could go into more detail, but maybe later! lol

All it took was a little trust mixed with my Jesus! HE IS AN AWESOME GOD!

I don't know what tomorrows holds, but I know He holds tomorrow!

"Stop Complaining"

My boyfriend is always telling me I'm too negative! Most of the time he's being sarcastic, but I have noticed at times I complain way to much! I started noticing every time I would say something negative and the thought about what I was saying. What if instead of complaining, I fixed whatever it is that is wrong!!!????

*****LIGHT BULB*****

I was reading a book the other day about some of the worlds greatest known people. It mentioned Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, and my favorite Helen Keller. I started realize while reading these stories, I have no reason to complain! In fact I have all the more reason to rejoice!!!!!

I have sat on the pews of church complaining for way to long about how no body here cares about God, or about the youth and blah blah blah and Im not the only one. A few of my friends have done the same so I went right along with them every time, but IM DONE!

I don't know what I can do to fix this situation exactly, or straight on, but I know there are things I can do instead of complaining because complaining is obviously getting me nowhere!

The Bible says in Psalms the 34th chapter "I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth"! and I just want to thank God, worship Him, give Him all the praise and glory, because I am blessed with a voice and two healthy legs and arms to do so!
