I believe that God really puts people in your life at right times in life to get you through those times, good and bad. Its like when you go rock climbing... through parts of it, you don't really feel like you need anyone to get you to the top, but those people are still there holding your belee line. Which is much like when you are going through life with friends and you don't realize how good it is to still have them there. But then at times, you are so close to the rock that you can't see where to go next, That is when it is best to have those people in your life that aren't up against the rock to help you find the next ledge that you can't see from where you are. And in those times in life, that is when it is so good, and such a blessing to have those true friends. The ones that may not know what you are going through but can help you find the way you need to go even if you can't see it. And true friends are a blessing from God. And I have seen lately that in some peoples lives, friends are Gods gift to them to help them through their roughest of times.

Journey

There has been a lot that God has been teaching me over the last few months, but especially now. There has been many things going on in life that has been a burden on me both spiritually, and in time it took its physical toll. But through it all God always is teaching me. It continues to be an awesome journey with Him. And what He has shown me lately is that the ways things happen in life are truly in His timing. From relationships that are no longer around to the things that I'm going through now. And with what I'm going through now, I have been shown that's why the relationship I talking about isn't there. Its because with life situations now, God wanted me to solely lean on Him to get me through every situation, not anyone else. And with that happening it has only made me stronger in Him. And with that, it has allowed me to have a continually renewed relationship with my Savior, and it has been awesome. And my encouragement to all who read this, is that no matter what happens in life, good or bad, it is all part of Gods plan. And that even though you may be going through things right now that you may not understand, He has a plan for all of it. And in His timing if you seek Him as your source of strength, He will reveal to you His ultimate plan for your life. And in that, you can find joy in life through your struggles.

Busy

I have been so busy lately. It seems like all I ever do is work now. And it has made me think about things. How often do we all get too busy with everything going on in our lives that we get to busy for the things that are really important in our lives? I know I have been guilty of it. But, my priorities lately have changed and it has made such a change in how I view things. I have always wanted to have a close personal relationship with God, but without the pursuit of Him daily how can that happen? Being busy with life happens, but can we really use that as an excuse? I have had an awesome trip with God lately, I have been learning things about Him that I have heard before, but now have a new understanding of Him. It has been an amazing time with Him. I never really thought about really getting into the Old Testament before, but I have been going through the minor prophets lately, there is a lot of awesome things in that part of the Bible. So many things that are as true then as for us now. And I just say this to encourage anyone who reads this, that even though times get busy, you should find time to spend just sitting and listening to God and what He has for you. And if you truly seek Him, you will truly be blessed even in your busiest of times.
