Reminded of Many Truths

God is wisdom. God is above all wisdom. He is everything.

When I was reading my Bible the other day, I was reminded that my Heavenly Father is always with me. I can communicate with Him every second of every day. He will guide me and my footsteps. I must ask Him to open my ears in order for me to hear His voice. This is possible by just being with Him.

Hungry for the Word

Every time I listen to the Word of God my spirit leaps within me. I never grow tired hearing it. I often want more I cannot get enough.

I lost that hunger for a while but now it is coming back. It is only by the grace of God. God reveals new truths to me when I read the Word. He creates simple analogies in order for me to understand. I do not have to comprehend everything all at once.

The Word washes me and cleanses me from every stain that I have in my heart.

God has dreams for me just as I have dreams for myself. He desires to fulfill them.

Everything

Everything happens for a reason. Each event that occurs in my life prepares me for the next one. There is a lesson in every one. Sometimes fear and circumstances overwhelm me. I must remember to focus on my eyes on Jesus.

When I am going through dry times He is the fountain that fills me up continually. His waters refresh me. He is my source of strength, setting up divine appointments in unexpected places.

I must ask Him for the grace to keep my eyes open. He takes care of every small detail. I love Him very much. He is so amazing.

Small Moments, Big Picture

Every year my Mom, my sisters and I take a trip to Kelowna for a girls’ week. That’s what we call it. We go to the Grand and get spa treatment. My mom goes on the computer and finds activities for us to do.

This year my sisters were too busy so my Mom and I just went.  It was very fun and relaxing.

This time my Mom found a children’s author.  He was Métis.  I was excited when I heard this because I have a special love for Aboriginal people. I also enjoy writing. I hope to write a children’s book one day myself.

I have been blessed on many occasions to meet some pretty important people.  Sometimes I feel a special connection with them.  This was one of those times. I was honored to meet David Bouchard.

After he had finished speaking, my Mom and I bought a book.  He signed it for us.  It was a very interesting experience.

He offered to play a song for me on his flute.  I accepted. It was very beautiful. My Mom took a picture of us while this was happening.

I have learned that things take place for a reason.  Afterwards, when I discovered that he was staying at the same hotel as we were, I decided to leave him a copy of my book.

Sometimes, when these moments occur, I’m reminded of the bigger picture the God is painting for my life. I am very thankful for these opportunities and I don’t take them for granted.

Thoughts

People often ask me how I overcome my daily obstacles.

I have a strong family who encourages me in achieving my goals and dreams. My number one strength comes from the relationship I have with God. Reading my bible and listening to music also helps.  The small happenings of life make me happy.

My church family is also very supportive.  It is important to me to stay connected with them .

I try to set goals for myself every day. I create a list of goals in my head.  When I am unable to achieve them I wait for the next day. I go over my list until I accomplish all of them. When I have completed my list I make a new one.

Believe me, there are times when I become discouraged and frustrated.

I remind myself keep looking forward and not back. I know that there is someone greater then myself watching over me.
