SAVED...

SAVED...

What a word with so many meanings.  For those that do not believe in anything other than themselves saved doesn't really have much of a meaning.  I count myself very blessed that I believe in God, and Jesus.  I count myself very blessed that I have grown up knowing that there was something higher than myself.  Knowing that I am not in control of this crazy universe, and I will never have to be.  Sometimes I forget that I am saved, sometimes I let the stresses of this world knock me off my feet and throw me up against a wall.  This year I have really been put in a place of loneliness.  I do not have one person around me that I can just call up for coffee or to go to the gym.  Not a single one.  Maybe it is my own fault, maybe I need to come to terms with the fact that I needed this year to figure out my life.  I know that I am saved and that I continue to be saved no matter what stupid choices I make.  I am thankful, so very thankful. 


"A ship is always safe at shore but that is not what it's built for."  -Albert Einstein

So very true!!!!  Just like me!  I knew for a long time that I wasn't built to just live an ordinary life.  I wasn't built to just sit along and watch life pass me by.  I am so thankful that I love adventure, and this quote definitely speaks to my heart and life. 



Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord;
    be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!

I hate the word wait....I mean I really despise it.  What I despise even more is when people say "all in God's timing."  What is that really?  I mean what are you trying to accomplish by saying wait for God's timing.  Yes it is easy to say...ofcourse we all wish that we were patient, but you know what?  We aren't...not one of us is patient..that's what makes us human.  So, yes wait and take courage, but also give yourself grace.  For courage doesn't come because you will it, it comes because you give it over to God.  I don't even know what that truly looks like, but I know that it isn't by my own merit.
