By and By

There's this old hymn my mother used to sing..."By and by...when the morning comes...we will understand it better by and by..." But do we ever REALLY understand it? Do we understand the hurt and struggles of yesterday? Do we understand why life is so hard and we cannot get out of the rut and depression that we are in? Do we understand why some people in life get dealt the Ace, King and Queen, while others the Jack? I do not have all the answers to the questions of life, but what I do have is something everyone can have for FREE! A relationship with Jesus Christ. He is my Saviour, Healer, Redeemer, Lover. He lifts me up and gives me strength for the journey to come. So by and by can come and go...and we may never understand it..we may never understand the abuse as a child, the disappointments of relationships, or the misunderstandings from others. But one thing we can STAND ON is the Word of God. I ask you to think about this...who has ever loved you so much that they would send their son...their ONLY son, to die for you? Who loved you so much, that when they saw that there was no hope for you, they came to give you life...life more abundantly. Who loved you...like GOD, our father has loved you? He is everything GOOD! I don't think we can fathom His love for us...it's indescribable, hard to comprehend, the love, forgiveness and grace He has for us!

My story

My story...everyone has one. But what you do with your story is what's important. My sole purpose for this blog is to tell you about Christ and how He has changed me from the inside out. I pray that God softens your heart to receive whatever He has for you. That being said, let me tell you a little about me...

My childhood entailed a lot of resentment and confusion. I grew up in the church. I hated it. I wanted to fit in at school and couldn't understand why I was so different. I did not understand why or how I was to serve God. My college years, God really had to deal with me. I made terrible choices and had no remorse or regret. So much happened in between that time. The pitfall of my life is when I was arrested for a DUI. I had hit rock bottom. My life as I knew it was over. I hated myself, but did not know how to rid myself of this hatred. A spirally downward hole of regret and pity, I had no clue what type of plan God had for me. 

Fast forward to today, I am currently a licensed pharmacist. I had no idea how much God would change my life for the good. He is my provider, my healer, my everything. When times are hard, He is there to lift me up! I can't stop telling others about Christ. How He can get you out of the rut you are in. It is easy to feel pity and sorrow for yourself and stay that way. But you will be a much stronger person when you make an intentional decision and chose to follow Him!

I pray that this blog finds you....anywhere you are in life, that it finds you. And that God uses me to work through you. I will be posting all kinds of poems, stories, scriptures in hopes of reaching nations and generations. 

Praying for God to do a miraculous work in your life as He has done for me.

God Bless!
