my hope is in a trumpet sounding.

I have some things to share.

1)I'm a very grateful for what God does for me. He knows everything. He knows what we are going to go through before we do and He allows it to happen because He knows how strong we will come out of it (James 1:2-4). This has happened recently in my life. As much as it hurts, and how bitter I am about it.. I'm am truly grateful it happened. I really am. What I know now has only proved to be for my good. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." -Romans 8:28.

2)I've been hearing lately, (mainly from my mother), that I am strong. I don't really believe that. If I am at all it is because of Christ. He is my strength. How amazing is that? Seriously? To turn to Christ and tell him everything, lay all our burdens down, cry to Him, etc. and know He is listening and working. To me, that is beyond amazing. The greatest feeling in the world, is when you can feel God. Trust me.

3)I'm also very grateful for the past couple of sermons I have heard. They have honestly felt directed right to me. Last Sunday was about idols. I had a few in my life. God speaks directly about idols and you can see His frustration in Isaiah 41:21-24. God seeks fellowship and real worth. This Sunday it was from John 5:25-29. Something that struck me was the beginning of 28. "Do not be amazed at this." or "Do not marvel at this" BUT, Repent and Believe it! Start acting upon this.

4) Which brings me to my last thing I want to share. Christ is coming. AMEN! Haha, and there are some days (like today) that I truly wish it was today. I'm so sick of my sinful self. I'm ready to be pure and perfect in fellowship with my God. My hope is in a trumpet sounding. I'm ready for that day, it will be an amazing day and I want to be welcomed as His good and faithful servant. What I started thinking was, what if we lived our day as if God was coming that day? I think we would love more, forgive more, do more, fellowship more. I think its a great goal. Its where my heritage comes from. A group of people willing to stop marveling and acting, repenting and believing.

Thanks :)
