"Never ask God to get you out of a situation, ask Him to get you THROUGH it." - Brother James Darby.
Have you ever gone through a time in your life when you just want to say 'God please just take this away!'? Well I know I have..
Just yesterday acctually. I remember saying "God please, take it away, there is no good that is going to come from this." then I remembered this Quote from James Darby. And I realized that I shouldn't ask God to take it away but to carry me through it.
I know it's not easy, and I have to remind myself of this quote every day. But I know that God will carry me through so I'm not worried about it. My God is a faithful God. He will never give you more than you can handle. He is there with me through the happiest of times and through the storms. So I'm not going to ask Him to take this away because, though it may hurt, it is making me a stronger Christian. It has drawn me closer to Him everyday. And I pray that it continues to do that...but for now I'm going to take it one day at a time.

Just Waiting...
"To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen." - Revelation 1:5b-6
This week in my lift we some how got on the subject of The Second Coming of Christ. So I've been reading thru Relelation and I have to say it amazes me. Just to read about what is happening now, the things that God said was going to happen before His return is happening now. At first I'll addmit I was a lil scared. But if I really think about it, it excites me. To know that I will someday soon be standing in front of my Savior, the One who made me, it just brings a smile to my face :). And to know that every breathe I take I am one less breathe away from being in His arms. It almost brings me to tears everytime I think about it...this will be the moment that we've been waiting for for forever.
I can't even begin to picture in Revelation 4 where it talks about the four creatures, one like a lion, an other like a calf, one with the face of a man, and the last like a flying eagle. All with six wings and eyes all around worshipping God. Thy say "HOLY HOLY HOLYIS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME." Revelation 4:8b
He is coming, and He is coming soon so be ready. Everything that He has said will happen before He returns has happened...and Like Natalie said.."We're all just waiting..."
