I admit things have been a bit cuh-razy around here lately. I’ve had people ask me how I can be comfortable sharing so much or why I don’t mind putting all the hard times out there with the peaceful. I’ve not been criticized – I’m not saying that at all. :) Those of you who have inquired, I do definitely understand the perplexity and the confusion you face when reading some of my blogs. I guess to put it very simply, I know that God has a plan in everything in my life. The reason I find it necessary to share what I endure is because I know that God is preparing me for something great. I know that THIS is not the end of the road. THIS is not a struggle that will last. No matter what THIS may be at any given time, it has its own purpose… and it pushes me closer to mine.
Vague much, Kathleen?
Sometimes that is best – to simply leave things open to interpretation. Many are called but the chosen are few. I refuse to be embarrassed or ashamed of circumstances that I can’t control. I don’t need approval or acceptance. I used to need those things… and because of that need, I started having a pretty bad life. <– Shockingly, that doesn’t even explain it all. … I don’t too much care about judgments people pass or social class assignments. I don’t focus my attention on status. What I know is that it’s unfortunate that “blessing” has become synonymous with “wealth” … but then again, perhaps your blessing is financial. Just keep in mind where your help comes from. Don’t ever put yourself in a situation where you begin to praise the gift and not the giver.
Very simply: I share what I go through because when God’s plan is complete, He will get the glory in my life. My testimony has been in the making for years. When it all unfolds, it will be so painfully evident that GOD is responsible for my deliverance and for my elevation and after God LIFTS ME OUT OF THE SLIMY PIT and SETS MY FEET ON A ROCK, MANY WILL SEE AND FEAR AND PUT THEIR TRUST IN THE LORD! {Psalm 40:2-3}
Don’t underestimate MY God. He’s not finished yet. I’m in a bad spot right now, no doubt about it … but just hold on. I’m on the come-up :) in JESUS’ name! He hasn’t given up on me … and I certainly haven’t given up on Him!
