When All Hits the Fan!

After writing the previous two blogs on being uncomfortable and somewhat frustrated, let's just say "all hell broke loose"! At least that's what it felt like.

Can I be totally transparent (not that I am the one to hide my emotions anyway)? It was the exact same week as my last post that I sat in my closet praying and having an emotional break down! I do not expect life to be all roses and butterflies. I know due to the broken sinful world we live in, there are times of sorrow and pain. However, when you have seen the promises God has for your life and are walking in full obedience towards those things, you just hope there will be some relief. Through this whole process there has been only peace in the discomfort, but I was ready to be done with the whole process.

After that moment, I pick myself up and pressed through. My husband and I both poured into one another and encouraged one another to help us get through that week. I felt like nothing could bring me down until the next week got worse! That morning I cried out to God, and those cries turned into praise. As soon as thanksgiving burst from my heart to my mouth, I got a call with really bad news followed by more disappointment. All I could think was, "God, I'm done! How are you going to fix this one?" I wanted to crawl into a hole to sink into my tears. Glady, I reached out to a friend from my church that poured into me, prayed with me, and allowed me to cry.

While feeling hopeful, I left out the house the next morning to go help someone in need. On my way back home, my vehicle just stops! Honestly, I went through bouts of crying and laughing in between calling people to come rescue me from Houston's scorching heat.

I'm so glad and fortunate to have the people and leaders I have around me! That was the roughest week of my life. God used some pretty awesome people to help my family and I get through it and turned some things around in the process within the matter of 72 hours (3 days)! A lot can happen in 3 days! I feel my inter-Pentecostal about to come out ha!

While we are still in the process, waiting on His promises, God has not left us! He has given us peace, provision, joy, and restored hope! I know it can sometimes look bleak and dark, but as long as you keep your eyes on God, I promise He will see you through! Don't give up now! There's nothing worth giving up God's will! There's nothing behind you! Press forward and P.U.S.H.
