New Life

Why is it that when so many great things happen especially in the kingdom a few hours/days/weeks later comes the hardest trials you've ever faced? It seems like this isn't just something I am going through alone but so many others in my community are too. I feel like I take three steps forward and then two steps back!

Two weeks ago it felt like life was perfect and everything was lining up but then it came crashing down. I was angry, hurt and all kinds of emotions pumped through my body. I tried to hand it off to God but realized I never really let it go, it only started to make sense once I started to process it out loud with the people I trust and allowed them to speak truth and break off the lies. There is so much power in verbal communication, it's like that alone can break off attacks.

Last night I was exhausted and stressed out but during worship at home-group I felt like God simply said 'Focus on me'. How simple? We live in a selfish world focused on us. But really who cares about this world? What does the world hold? This life is temporary and it ultimately leads death but God promises us life and great one at that..God makes it easy...focus on me and I will take care of the rest.  Psalms 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." SO SIMPLE.
