THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE

     


     This past week has been a tough one. Last Sunday I received an email that will change a lot of things in my life. Let me stress to you all a few things. First, I am okay and I'm healthy. Except for an accident I had at work with my thumb getting in the way of a sharp box cutter I'm doing well physically. I have 4 stitches that will remain for another week. It's never a dull moment! I don't want to share exactly what was in the email I received. I'm not looking to spread my "laundry" on every blog I write. I have seen one thing these last 8 years. You know who your real friends are when you go through tough seasons in your life. I have noticed people who say they will pray for you many times don't.  They just want to know the latest gossip in your life. I don't want sympathy. I need prayer. I need to know what God's will is for my life. 

     I am not going to lie. I am hurting. After reading the email I received I was numb. I still feel numb. One day I will disclose to you all what was in the contents but right now is not the best time. One thing I have learned since my resignation from Smithtown Gospel Tabernacle has always been to put God first and keep my eyes on Him! It reminds me of a story in 2 Chronicles 20 about King Jehoshaphat. He had 3 armies coming against him and he prayed a simple prayer by saying to God "I don't know what to do but my eyes are on you." God spoke to him and told him that this battle he was facing was not his but God's. Jehoshaphat then had all the people begin to worship God and they were able to defeat their enemy. The opposing army even started destroying each other. 

     I could ramble on and on about the situations I have faced these last few years. In closing I will say that in spite of frustrations and disappointments, I will never give up on God. He has never give up on me! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT MY EYES ARE ON HIM!!

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK!!
