Yes – There is a Plan

This was a Facebook post that I liked recently – why?  Because I agree with it 100% 🙂  — Believe me, there have been PLENTY of times I felt lost, alone and let me add – frustrated, confused and lots of other emotions as well wondering if God even knows what I am going through – kind of questioning- is He looking?  Does He know?  If we are going to be honest and straight forward – I believe everyone has felt that way one time in their life or another – and possibly more than once 🙂  —

I don’t push religion – what I will speak on is God and a personal relationship with Him.  I am not even attending the 4 walls of a church right at the moment but not knocking those who do.  I will step in at anytime and be just as comfortable as outside.  I believe we are the church.  Or should be.  Our actions – should show love and non judgment  and truth, if need to be spoken – be in love and non-judgment – as we work at this journey we are on called life. There is not anyone that is perfect.  I just try to get through the day being a better version than the day before and trying to spread the love I do receive from God who does love all.

The truth that hit me about this post was that He does know exactly where we are – what we are doing – how we are feeling – and He has a plan for us – a good plan – and He WANTS good things for us – for everyone.  Boy there is some Bible scriptures in just those statements and I will reference them at the end for you to look up if you want.  But in the end, it does hold true.

Sometimes we go off the beaten path because of what we think we want or what we think we know.  (I know I did 🙂  )  BUT He even gets you back on track if you want and He has done that for me too.

The Best News?  Even when I felt like Charlie Brown – and if you ever do too – God knows exactly where you are – and He does have a good plan for your life.  Keep praying and do not stop.  God meets you wherever you are 🙂

I hope you enjoy your day!

Have Hope/Keep Faith/Spread Love

Many beautiful ways to worship……..way past the instruments

Worship is……….

putting other’s needs before our own selfish gains……..

listening for God’s voice and putting our own agenda aside…….

walking in forgiveness when other’s actions fall short of our expectations…..

going to work and giving God our best day and doing the work onto God……

not always music………

living in obedience to what the Holy Spirit is speaking……

living in the fruit of the spirit……gentleness, faithfulness, self control, meekness, peace, joy, love, kindness, patience, goodness, temperance and faith………

not always within 4 walls……….

acknowledging Him and His greatness in everything …….

maintaining a Godly attitude when we don’t want to…….

holding true to our convictions…..at all times

can be done everyday……at work, home, in the store, alone, with or without instruments and with or without a perfect voice…….

so much more I didn’t mention but can be found in the smallest of things we do everyday that is not in the norm of the instruments on stage or voice……that is only one beautiful part……there are also many beautiful parts out there as worship onto our beautiful amazing God………….

My desire………to continuously have the Lord check my heart, remove the impurities that are not of Him, take that as the first step of worship and then belt away to Him praises of just how good of a God He is even if I am off tune and I don’t have an instrument…….and I know He would be pleased and show up for me…….that IS just how much our God loves US!
