My season--my season of struggle, heartache, depression, stress, anxiety, fear, worry, doubt and tears, is only the "hurt before the healing", the "dark before the morning."
Something GREAT is coming out of this season.
Please read this blog post from Susie, she, along with others write the magazine--Susimagazine.. (you can go here to their website)
What she wrote her at her blog is describing me, and I'm sure many others.
"Am thinking about Gideon today.
From the Old Testament.
He was a nobody.
But God chose Gideon to lead the Lord's army
against the enemy.
The enemy far outnumbered Gideon's little home-made army.
And God began whittling away at Gideon's army.
He couldn't figure it out.
Don't You want me to win, Lord?
he must have thought.
"The battle is Mine," said God Almighty.
"Trust Me."
God downsized the army three times
until there only 300 men left to fight against the giant army of enemies.
Gideon trusted.
And God confused the enemies, until they began to fight each other
and lost the battle.
Gideon won with only 300 men.
Wow.
God really does know what He's doing!
Perhaps He's downsizing some areas in your life.
Friends.
Money.
A job.
Those things that make you feel secure.
Though you may never understand . . .
can you trust without understanding?
The mark of a mature Christian is to
accept God's ways
without having to understand them."
You ever feel like you're a nobody? Because if you don't then I'm totally on my own here.
Okay, as many know, this world is totally LOST. And they NEED God. It's been laid on my heart for so long that it's time we start doing something about it instead of just hope someone will step up and take action.
Souls are on the line. Souls that will burn forever because they don't know the power of God's love.
So me, Amber Noella is a definite nobody. But, I know things others NEED to know. I want to CHANGE THE WORLD.
And being a nobody is not going to stop me.
