Leap of Faith anyone??

Woooow!! This Word couldn't come at a better time. If you read yesterday's blog you'll know exactly what i'm talking about! (Just keep reading... you'll see.)

So, I was reading and deleting old files from my emails and I stopped to read this specific one. This is mail was forwarded from my best friend and dated waaaay back in August of 2006! It was exactly 2 years ago! The Word through this email impacted me when I read it and the Word still applies to me today! I know... amazing huh? Yup thats the God I love... that's the God I serve. Anyway, heres the email....
I pray it impacts you as it has impacted me.

Take a leap of faith!

Today's Scripture
"Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone that comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)

Today's Word
God is always giving us opportunities to grow and move forward in this life.
But in order to experience God's best, you must be bold and willingly step out in faith to do what God says to do!

Do you have a "play-it-safe" mentality? Are you avoiding risks because you're afraid you might fail? Or, do you think that what you dreaming about might be too difficult? The Bible says that faith pleases God. It brings pleasure to the heart of God when He knows that you trust Him enough to step out and obey Him. You may not always know what will happen, and you may not always feel qualified. But the Bible says in Joshua 1:8: "Don't be afraid. Be strong, be bold, be very courageous for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." God promises He will always be with you – and with God on
your side, you are more than a conqueror!

The next time you know God is bringing an opportunity across your path, step out of your comfort zone! Step out in faith, knowing that God has His best in store for you. He desires to bring you success. Be willing to take some risks – knowing that Almighty God is right there by your side!

A Prayer for Today
God, I have nothing to fear with You by my side. There are risks I should
take and doors I need to open and I will trust in You as I meet these
challenges. Today, I will be bold in my faith! In Jesus' name, Amen.

Oh boy

Oh boy…
It’s been a while since I’ve logged-in to write anything…
I’m afraid to begin!
Would I or could I even STOP once I begin?!!
I suppose I should just start and see the outcome.

Here goes nothing…

Hello everyone! If there is anyone even out there reading...

::deep breath:: Where do I begin?

Months have passed and MY world just seems to be going up-side down / flip-side up! No, it’s not all negative. Actually, I shouldn’t even use “all” and “negative” in the same sentence. As a believer I know that in ‘ALL’ things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. It says it in His good word in Romans 8:28 therefore, I believe it! We go through things in life… some good some bad… but if we have faith and if we trust that God’s got our back, then ‘all’ will be aaallright!
So…

I have made some life changing decisions within these months. One’s that indeed have affected and will affect my immediate and future family… and yes, even those that surround me I believe. It’s just the way life is! Our decisions affect people around us positively or negatively. I try to choose the positive things… hope you didn’t miss that… I TRY. God help me! God help us ALL! Haha Indeed we try… and He knows it very well.

I applied and was accepted to a school… or preparation camp I should say, I purchased a new car (the car I’ve always wanted since I 1st laid eyes on it!) , and I will be traveling there in just a week or so. (he he God has such a sense of humor.)
Booooooooy has it already been a journey! I try but can’t imagine ALL the changes I’ll be going through.
Let’s see…
How I do I explain what I feel inside?
Better yet… I’ll try to paint a picture for ya.

Ok…
You’re on top of a veeeery taaaaall hill. You’re at the border.
You even have a parachute.
Are ya there?
Ok...
Now… look over the tips of your feet. Ready to take a plunge????
Did your stomach turn?
…THAT’s exactly how I feel!!!

It’s the thrill of adventure and adrenaline-rush going through your body...
It's exactly how I feel…

And as I began this blog “Oh boy!” It seems to fit perfectly.
Beginning and End.
Lord help me!
