There is a time for Everything.

There is a time for everything under the Sun

Being single can seem discouraging, upsetting or whatever bad thing you can think off, but on the contrary, being single is the best way to be. I don't mean to say this to speak against marriage but let's face it with this marriage and kids epidemic, a lot of people are feeling like they are left behind if they don't have kids or are married and approaching a certain age where everyone around them is. I have gone through a lot of ups and downs in my life, have been proposed to, in and out of plenty of relationships, wanting to get married at one point, wanting to have kids at another and thinking I would never get married at another. You see every relationship has had an effect on us whether we want to accept it or not, whether it is good or bad, one way or another we become affected.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us that For everything there is a season,
and a time for every matter under heaven:

2a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.

We need not to worry, but we need to pray and wait and trust in God and His perfect timing. God is in control of all things under the sun, He is our creator and the perfecter of our faith. We must trust Him so much that we know that even as we walk in the dark we shall not fear for our God is with us!  He has already made a way, which is His son, we just gotta choose Him because we get to!

Let your Light Shine!

Matthew 5:14 Tells us "You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make YOU light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand---Shine!

I am so thankful to God for sending Jesus to die on that cross for me to not only be able to live but to be able to have a life where I can share my light with others. This love and light that I have been chosen and given is not at all for me to keep to myself but to share with others. Share what God has done and where he brought me from. I can now smile even when I am in pain, but this pain does not compare to the pain I once felt. I thank God for my transformation. First it was a transformation of the mind which led to transforming heart which led to transforming my actions. Today I sit here at home on a Friday night. 1. Not wanting to be laying at some mans bed that does not belong to me. 2. Not wanting to want to be around so called "friends" who only want you to drink, get high or "hang out". 3. Not wanting to make t-shirts, but actually wanting to read my bible, sit at the feet of Jesus and spend that quality time which is what has gotten me this far. I cannot and will not forget the One who has changed me. I feel bad that people don't believe or understand that Jesus can change your life completely around. I for once have experienced that. I no longer say yes to everyone or continuously eloquently in search of a constant high, either from pleasing others or my flesh. I still struggle with many other things, self control, discipline, organization but I thank God for taking away those things that were not honoring or pleasing to Him little by little, one by one, because He is a patient, loving, merciful, kind, GOD!! The one & only! The Alpha & Omega!
