THAT ONE THING

It seems like there is always {that one thing} that gets to you. {that one thing} in everyones life that will drives them crazy. {that one thing} you could scream, cuss and spit at because you want it to go away so badly. {that one thing} that steals all your joy, and keeps you awake at night.

The question is What Do You Do About It? Because normally {that one thing} you cannot control, you cannot make it go away, make it leave you alone, or leave your mind. It annoys you to your core, and when you fight it, and say it will all be ok it comes right back in your face.
So, what do you do?
I ask myself that same question.
What do you do when {that one thing} doesn't make sense? When you can't talk to anyone about it, because they don't understand... When it ruins your day almost everyday?
 I haven't quite figured out what to do with it. All I know is what the Bible says. Psalms 37:4 says, "Delight thyself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. " Luke 11: 9 says - "Ask and it shall be given, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be open unto you."John 14:14- If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
I believe those verses completely. I know that {that one thing} God can take and use it for his glory. I have seen miracles (I am one). I have seen prayers answered. I know that when something bothers you you can give it to God and He can use it. I guess the only problem is we have to allow him to use it, and do whatever He wants with it.
I posted the other day a saying that hit me really hard. "Sometimes God doesn't change your situation, because He is trying to change your heart." That was a "wow" moment for me, because I thought to myself...maybe that is why this {one thing} will not go away. Maybe God is trying to use it to change me.
The problem is I don't want it to. I am mad at it, and I want to stay that way.
That is how most of us are. We get mad at something and we want to stay mad at it. We don't want to change, because {that one thing} has hurt us, and it wasn't our fault that it did.

I have realized you have to let it go. When it is the hardest thing, and even when your pride is in your ear telling you all the reasons why you shouldn't let it go. You must. When you don't you allow the devil to use it against you, because he knows it is {that one thing} that gets to you the most. It's his way into your life. It is his way to destroy you, and make you miserable, and me, as a girl we are more emotional, therefore it is much easier to get to us.

I say all this to tell you. I believe everyone can conquer their {that one thing}.
It isn't easy, it won't be over night, but you cannot give up. You can let it go.

{That One Thing} Give it to Him.


I hope this was able to help someone. God bless!

FRIDAY FAVS

There are a lot of things in life that I love. One of the most recent things is one of Khyler's new favorite thing to do, and that is going outside sitting in our driveway and "racing" his cars down the hill. He thinks it is the funnest thing.
He told me yesterday while we were out there that I could race one. Of course he has to choose which one I raced. It is one of my favorite things to do now too. It's so important to enjoy our favorite things.

So, just for the fun of it, here are some of my favorites things.

Color Love<3....Colored Jeans-  If you do not have a pair or two you should most definitely get some. I just recently bought some yellow and green ones<3.  I have seen them recently at Target, Old Navy and Express. They will be great to wear this fall with a long sweater. I love mine and will definitely be adding to to my collection of color.

ScarfLove -A definite fav is scarves. It is one of my favorite accessories in the fall. It adds to any outfit, and you can wear it so many different ways!

Boots- I love this time of year when we can pull out our boots! Short, tall, super tall, I love them all!

 

Flat Out Stylin- Colored and printed
flats with skinny jeans another favorite!

My last favorite thing is Boot Socks<3. I think these are my most favorite. I love prints, solids and the thick sweater ones!

Happy Favorite Friday!

WHAT IS BREAKING YOU?

What is breaking you and holding you back from going forward in your life? A broken relationship, un-forgiveness, hatred, addiction, ect?

Sunday my husband preached a message called " Breaking through what is breaking you". He spoke about what is it that has got ahold on you or in your way that you cannot break through a situation in your life? What is holding you back? He preached out of Mark 9 about the son that was possessed with the devil since birth. The father brought his son to Jesus and asked him to heal his son. The father did not have complete faith that he could be well but Jesus prayed and the demon was released from the son.

Sometimes in life the things that are breaking you are bigger than you.
Sometimes we cannot breakthrough a situation because of a circumstance or maybe even because our pride. I believe it is all about your perspective on things. It's like my husband always says...if you have the right attitude nothing is wrong and when you have the wrong attitude nothing is right.
If you say you can't defeat what is breaking you down you will not beat it. I do not have it all together and I think that is a large thing you must realize. Everyone needs help daily. People that say they don't need help are lying. Even the super spiritual of us all have to rely on Gods grace daily. We need help. We need Him.

Don't feel defeated by a circumstance. Embrace it knowing that with God you can conquer it and breakthrough whatever is brought in your life. It may not be in your timing, and it may not look anything like you think it should...do not worry! Just know you {can} breakthrough whatever is breaking you!

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13
