With God all things are possible

| How do you move from pain to praise? you journey through your insecurity past uncertainty and beyond your doubt. You make a conscious decision to trust God, period!
In Psalm 89: 38-52 David transitions from anxiety about God's absence to adoration of His eternal presence. What changed?
In verses 47-48 Remember how short my time is; for what futility have You creates all the children of men? What can man live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave?
The writer reminds us of the frailty of life. In light of death's certainty, we are challenged to make life matter regardless of the circumstances we encounter. His presence never changes, but sometimes our perspective must change.
Our perspective is even greater in light of life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 15 even death was defeated on Calvary's cross.
What does that mean for us? Though life is frail, GOD IS FAITHFUL!
You can trust Him on the journey through pain to praise. Remember, God is at work for you for your good and His glory, but your faith walk is in ONGOING journey. Ask God to give you faith for the journey today!
Father God, guide me today to do all things that bring glory and honor to You. Give me strength, comfort and peace to live life with joy and praise for You. Amen
For it is WITH God all things are possible 
REMEMBER being in a relationship with Jesus will NOT keep us from life pain, struggles, BUT it WILL get us THROUGH them. The closer I get in my relationship with Jesus, the more I KNOW that I KNOW all is well with my soul.
God's mercy and truth are two of His greatest provisions. In His mercy, God protects us from " what could have been" Rather than giving us what we actually deserve, He graces us with gifts that comfort us to His image. in His truth, He points us to what hold be. he does not use His superiority to confuse us to get off track; we do that of our own. Because He is true, we can ALWAYS count on Him to keep His word. As the truth, He promises to guide our paths in the way that is right.

I'm questioning now. Watching the death of a vibrant 19 year old girl from brain cancer. Her dad is a preacher and mom a teacher. They are a living ministry. It's so hard to accept.
John 9:2-3 and His disciples asked Him , saying Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jesus answered , It was neither that his man sinned nor his parents; bit it was in order that the works of God might be displayed in Him.
I had cancer 12 years ago, I was longing to be close to Jesus. It took having cancer for me to stop being of this world, and start living for Jesus, to become a vessel . James 1:3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Yes life is hard, and can be so much harder without a relationship with Jesus. It doesn't keep us from trials, sickness, and sometimes hopelessness, but a relationship with Jesus allows us to get through it all.
I have peace and comfort in my heart, I'm not afraid to die in my physical but it scares the heck of me if my spirit was to die. I am still growing in Christ every day learning trying to understand His ways.
It is a daily process being in the Word of God, feeding my spirit and soul. So when the time does come for me to be called home, l'll be so ready, for my soul in eternity in the a house of God is the ultimate victory. Our journey in this world is to learn and grow in Christ, and guide others to Him. It is hard and painful seeing young ones, with cancer, drug addiction, no respect for life, breaks my heart that they don't see what Jesus did on the cross so they may live for eternity .
Philippians 2:5-8 and being in appearance as a man,. he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus., he did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking a form of a bond servant , and being in the likeness of men.
Footprints in the Sand
you walked with me footprints in the sand and helped me understand where I'm going. You walked me when I was alone with so much unknown along the way. Then I heard you say, I PROMISE YOU, I'm always there, when your heart is filled with sorrow and despair. I'll carry you. When you need a friend. You'll find my footprint in the sand. I see my life flash across the sky. So many been so afraid and just when I thought I'd lost my way You gave me strength to carry on. That's when I heard you say. When I'm weary you'll the there, and I can feel you AMEN father God, Lay Your hand of healing grace , comfort and guide all Amen
