I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!

Well, looking back at some of my previous posts, it actually made me miss the blogging world. Facebook has basically taken over and I never even check my blog anymore, well except for today. So I thought I would update for 2008.

My title, I will not give up, is basically what I keep telling myself everyday lately. For the past month and a half I haven't felt like myself and have been to the Dr. more than I have in my whole life. My mind has been a battlefield and thanks be to God for helping me overcome my anxiousness.

I know God has a plan for my life and he would not bring me to this place and just give up on getting me to where he wants me to be. God has given me great passion for things: dance, kids, teens, family, friends,community, missions, and I know he has things he wants to see happen and will not happen unless I am obedient and wait on HIm.

I believe this month has been a test for me in many different areas, I am not sure that I got an A+ or even a B+ or maybe I completely blew it, but Ive relied on God many different times this past month. So I believe that I passed with flying colours. Don't get me wrong, I have doubted, questioned and pleaded with God, but in the end he has given me peace and I am that much closer to receiving the blessings He has for me and my family.

Whenever I start to feel my pulse racing or mind getting the best of me, I remember Phillippians 4:6-7 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thankgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

So I want to give God all the praise He deserves, because He is good, He loves me and has good plans for my life. I pray that anyone who is struggling with something right now would give it to God and ask for His peace and guidance. "His grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness." 2Corinthians 12:9 He is a God that heals and restores and I will not give up!!!
