Hope

Hey everyone! I’m back and I’m back in action. Sorry I was gone for so long. I’m not ready to share with you all what happened with me in the week that I was gone, however, I am ready to say that it was not good. I had made a mistake and I ended up going to the hospital, the mental hospital. Anyways, Life is moving on and I am not going to give up on the dreams and desires that God has for me. Let’s talk about this hope that I have.

Though I make mistakes, God prevails.

            Ah mistakes, we all do them. It’s not burden and it shouldn’t cause you to lose sleep for the mistakes that you make. I certainly have made mistakes in my past and I’m not proud of them, but they are a part of my life.

            I’m not going to say that I don’t care about those mistakes because I certainly do care, however I’m not going to let those mistakes bother me to the point where I can’t function.

            That is another lesson that I learned when I was in high school. I learned that no matter how hard emotionally life hits you, you cannot let that stop you from the work that you do because you’ll go hungry! That is what I’m doing right now.

            I also learned that God is the one that prevails in my life whenever I mess up. Whenever I mess up, I can count on God to catch me when I fall.

I look forward to the future

            My past is my past and though my past has hurt me and will probably hurt me in the future, I am not going to give up.

            Actually this whole thought of not giving up I got from God. I don’t know where along the line of the bible I got it from, but I got it from God and I really do aim to make my life better through the things that I do.

            There is a verse in the bible that says, a righteous man may fall 7 times and will rise again. I believe that God has done that in me. Because I have fallen more than 7 times 7 times 7 and yet I keep arising.

            There have been times when I said to myself, this time I quit, and God has given me the strength to say, NO, look for the next day because the next day will be better.

My hope is not in myself

            My hope is not in myself, but rather, it is with God.

            I was talking about this with my friend just today and I said to him, you know, I don’t count on my own abilities to fix things or to make things right. What I do have is faith in God to right my wrongs.

            I know that the mistakes that I’ve made could probably never be forgiven, however, I know that God can do anything.

            Even though the scars are permanent, I will not doubt in my God’s ability to work. I know that God can work so I will have faith in him.

My hope is in Jesus

            I’ll be honest with you guys, with this past mistake that I just did, it solidified my relationship with God. It put it into a standing that I now see is more clear.

            Before I was relying on my parents for a few things and not necessarily God. However, now, I am relying on God for the things in my life. 

            Even though my parents have been there for me for a lot of things, I feel like now I am entering into adulthood and I need to start to spread my wings and fly.

            I had a rough start, but this birdie is still flying and I’m flying because of God.

            So, my hope is in Jesus. I am hoping that Jesus can provide for me all of my days in my life and I know that he will.

I will rest in Jesus

            It could be below freezing temperatures outside, I could be broke and homeless, God forbid, but I will always find a place to rest in Jesus. I can have faith in him for he has never failed me.             Thank you all for listening in on this blog post. I hope that I have been an encouragement and inspiration to you guys.
