Why Me?

So I have been pretty lazy with my blog posts, sorry. God works in mysterious ways and sometimes within our walk with Christ, God throws roadblocks in the way. Due to our sinful nature we are sometimes blinded and don't realize that WE don't make plans God does! But when we are completely consumed and in Love with God's sovereign grace we can take joy in our suffering which we can read in the book of Ephesians is according to the will of our heavenly father. "In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory." (Ephesians 1:11-12) I have heard so many people say they believe things happen in their lives for a reason, the answer is yes things do happen for a reason because God has his hand in everything we do. Its a humbling thought that I truly have a hard time wrapping my head around but seeing a glimpse of God's glory and majesty puts me on my knees in worship. Our God is an awesome God! 

About a week ago my mother called and asked me to come over because she had something to tell me. To be completely honest, the past few months I have not been honoring my mother the way that she deserves. Through prayer and the Holy Spirit, I knew that I need to spend more time with my mom and love on her. This was three weeks ago, two weeks later when my mom had asked me to come ever I was in the car and knew that either two things had happened; First that she lost her job or second that she has cancer. By the time I pulled into the driveway I knew she had cancer, and sure enough she sat me down on the couch and told me the news, She has cancer. God is sovereign! Because of my moms relationship with God she has taken joy in her sufferings. She has realized that she cant heal herself, only God can! It has been an amazing few weeks. Please be praying for her and if you know her your encouragement would be appreciated. If you are going through trials in your life pray that God may give you understanding and joy that the tomb is empty and we have a risen savior!
