Okay, God. thanks. I get it. I needed to hear this. I am so sorry for ignoring Your Voice even though I constantly keep asking to hear it. Thanks for NEVER giving up on me. Thank You that You never will. In Your Son, Jesus Christ’s Name, I pray, Amen! ^__^

And I cannot help but believe, that if you take even just an ounce of a second to think about it, you really needed to read this, too. You and you and you.

But really God. You are just SO Good. I am just awestruck. Yes awestruck is a nice word to describe this feeling of just immense and sincere awe at Your Goodness. At realizing more and more by the MOMENT how True Your Word and Your Promises and Your Love is. And always was. And always will be. 

I have just recently been feeling anxiety. Fear. About my upcoming school year at Bethel that is soon and rapidly approaching. 

And then what wants to appear as a bump-in-the-road has just appeared as well. 

And I was just telling a friend about this “bump.” I do not even want to acknowledge it as a bump, because I just know that it really isn’t. The enemy just wants me to think it is. But really, this “bump,” I know God is just going to use it as a bridge to do something even Greater than the plan was before, that the enemy is trying to tamper with. Because enemy you may have some good scare tactics, but MY GOD IS GREATER ^__^

But anyhow, God has also put it on my heart to look at how far I had let myself fall from Him when I was in a non-God-Honoring relationship. How far was shown by how little I posted on here. How little I praised HIm or just acknowledged His Presence in my life. 

But this actually also led me to words of encouragement from God, but that he spoke, or rather wrote, through me, actually. God is so silly, but soSOso Good. The post talked of stress. And talked of why I was going to Bethel. I had such determination. Such drive. Such trust in God. Such Peace. Unshakable Peace. And the awesome thing is, I still have it. Because I still have Him. He is the Unshakable Peace. And He is Alive in me. And He always will be. It was just so encouraging to know that He pre-ordained for me to read this encouraging post that I posted a bit ago and that is posted below. And how child-like-faith-trusting my heart was for God. And it’s SO comforting to know that He knew that the enemy would be trying to stress me out at this exact point in time, because the enemy had to ask Him for permission to even tempt me, and God had to allow it. God’s Hand is over all of this. Over everything period. And since I listened for and responded to His Call to go look at these posts from that specific period in time I was blessed! 

But the thing is, even if I had not listened to His Call. He still would have blessed me in another way. But maybe a lot longer down the road. But maybe I would have to go through some hard pains and struggles, so that God could bring me to where I needed to be that I would not even hesitate to listen to His Call the next time. 

The fact of the matter in all of this is that God is in Control and He wants nothing but the best for us. Always. And no matter what happens, there is absolutely no reason to every stress or worry or have anxiety, just simply because of who our God is. He is Love. And all that is Good and Perfect. And if we, if I, truly just trust this with all of my heart. That will be all that matters. That should be all that matters, at least. Always. 

Thank You, God. For never giving up on me. Highest praises to You, Hosanna in the Highest!!! In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, I pray, Amen, Amen, Amen!

p.s.- The original post just also happened to have a picture of a waterfall… just kidding, God totally planned this all out. So much Glory to Him! All much Glory to Him!

Stress is so strange! 

It hurts. And is depressing. Yet at the same time, it is SO humbling. At least, I think that it is. 

You see, I have come to find that when I am stressed. It is silly, it truly is. But in the moment it is all I can think about, whatever it is I am stressed about that is. And I am so stressed, and of course I pray to God, and trust Him and all that, but I am still so stressed.

But as of late, I think that I have come to find, that when I am stressed, it is because I am not actually trusting God and all that, because if I were, then I would not be stressed! This may be cliche, trivial knowledge even, but I have just experienced stopping myself from being stressed and truly leaving it up to God.

Because, even if I do not get college credits early so that I will not be behind when I enter school a year later than everyone else my age, so what? I am not entering school the same time as everyone else, because I am going to a school for supernatural ministry, to learn about God 24/7, to immerse myself in Him, to build a foundation in Him at the point in my life where most stray away, so that I can help Him in bringing them back, once I do get on a university’s campus. So then why am I now worried about this world? 

God is in control. And I believe that He can make it so that I get all of the college credits in the world, even more than I test for. I believe that He can make it so that I do not get any college credits. And even if this is the case, it will not be the end of the world, because I know that God makes all things work together for my good, which means that it will all turn out good. I am confident that even if I do not get my desired credits at the desired time, God will get what He wants and what I need at His desired times, at the times that are best for me. He knows these things, not me. 

And quite possibly the best part is, is that even if it was the end of the world, that would be okay, too. Because that would mean being closer to spending eternity with the One who Loves me so, who Loves all of us SO! so much! 

Basically, I have come to find that no matter what happens, everything is going to be okay. No, better than okay, Glorious. Because that is just what life with God in your heart is.

It is peace. It is warmth. It is love. It is confidence. All by His Love, ultimately. 

So even though stress is so strange. It is all the more strange that, if we only choose to let it, God can take it all away. Because He is even more strange, he is supernatural and lovely. He is the Alpha and Omega, unexplainable, but Marvelous all the same. Hallelujah and all praise to the King of Kings!!
