How I got through it

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.

If you’re in a good place today, that's awesome. I’m glad you made it through. Just in case you aren’t, you will get through too. We have to have faith that God will bring us through anything we may be going through today. We can overcome any situation, because of the God we serve -- the God who lives in us -- and the God who loves us.

I remember going through a dark lonely time when I felt no one was there for me. I had a hard time trusting people because of past betrayals by people I thought were close to me. It was a difficult time and what I realize now is that I should have found someone to trust. There were and still are, people out there who are honest and trustworthy. I realize that today. At any rate, I got through that time because of God who I talked and prayed to everyday and throughout the day. It was God who led me to the right people. I’m able to help others now, because of it (glory to God for that).

Bottom line? God will always be there for us. We can’t give up. We have to go forward, because God has got us covered. We just have to reach out to Him. Romans 8:37-39 says:

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Our faith in God must not waver and when we hold on to it, we will be stronger coming out than when we went in. Believe that.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Eagles fly above the storm

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with Blog Post. Are you an eagle? Do you know, eagles fly above the storm and they wait for the winds to carry them to greater heights? That's right, as the storm is raging below, they are soaring above it all. They don't escape the storm, mind you. They simply use the storm to lift themselves to higher magnitudes. It's a though they know the storm is temporary; that they will indeed rise above it; and that they are riding the storm. I find all of that fascinating, because we can take the model of the eagle and do the same. Why can't we? We can imitate the eagles intelligence, push-through, and perseverance to weather any storm -- the storms of life that will come. If we will just know that God will never give us more than we can handle, then we will come out victorious. As you going through anything today? Are you worried about anything in particular? Just know, you can rise above it all. Nothing is too big for G
