No need to fear...


Wow, so much has happened. I haven't written in quite some time. I've been undergoing some severe funk phase that I've been dying to snap out of already. Today was the first time in many weeks that I've started to feel like I am at least waking out of this gloomy funk that I am honestly so sick of. The trials have been and continue to be rough and intense, but I've tried my best at keeping positive toward God and not blame Him for anything undesirable and unpleasant that life throws at me--or rather the enemy--"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." -Ephesians 6:12

It's been 7 months (soon going on to 8 months) that I've been out of a job. I know that during this time God has been wanting to teach me and prepare me for something and to make me a stronger individual. I've yet to learn and find out what that is specifically, but I am walking on a leap of faith and I trust in Him that this is all part of God's plan to prosper me, to give me a hope and a better future... This is the time of preparation so that one day I'll be ready to receive the marvelous things He has in store for me. I like to remind myself, whenever it feels like He is taking too long to do His job, that GOD's timing is forever perfect. He is the Author, the Writer of time. He's never been early, He's never been late--He is ALWAYS on time.

So here I stand, unable to do anything to put an end to all this misery I am experiencing (financially, emotionally, etc.), because it is HE who is at the control of my life. I have no choice but to wait in Him and as I wait, through this process, I only strive to grow into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Him--to learn to love Him more and get stronger by His grace! His Word says that I will be refined in the trying fire to come out as gold... and that's a promise.

There's no need to fear...
