Mom

The other day my Mom called and had a question about facebook which she is new to and I am glad she is catching up with tech world. She had made a comment about how much she likes reading my blog and how she is impressed with my writings (not that I can write) her words LOL. That got me to thinking about why I put so much into this then it hit. For years I watched my Mom a single mother give everything she had to give me and my sister the best life possible. She gave 100% at everything she done and still does which very awesome. Seeing my Mom give her best at everything has some how been tattooed on my brain and it just comes natural to give it all to even the smallest of things and for that I want to say thank you Mom. Now I'm not saying everything turns out good or the way I hoped but as I look back not a lot went as Mom planned either but the one thing I can say is she never stopped giving it all and keep joy in her heart. Now for all the guys out there when you think there is nothing you can learn from your mom you better step back and take another look. Your mom like mine is the heart of God loving you in your screw ups and on your greatest day and always there to cheer you on and when you wonder why you give 100% at even the simplest of things you can thanks Mom, I love you.

Lost in Chaos

In life it seems that every day we wake up and go through the same motions. We get caught up in our routine you know you get up at the same time have the same thing for breakfast etc........ day after day. We go through life doing what has to be done and most of the time we go through life doing what everybody else thinks we need to do. This is what I'm gonna call Lost in Chaos. This is chaos that we put on ourselves we feel the need to live by the standards of this world do go do go do go you get the point. Why do we do this? We have seen what it does to people it has drove them to the point of mental and physical breakdown. Yet we still always say yes to any and everybody who ask something of us. Why do we weight ourselves down burdens that 5 years from now nobody will even remember. I want to come at this from a personal level for a moment. Yes I am one of those people who wants everybody to be happy all the time I do not like conflict. I can not say no to people and I always take on more than need be and yes I had a routine to get it all done. Then one day it hit me. What am I doing? I give up my joy my happiness the happiness of my family trying to please everybody and doing any and everything people wanted me to do I became the Yes Man. My life had become full of Chaos, Chaos I put there which was not doing me any good and at that point I was not doing God any good. I realized I had become something God can not stand a people pleaser. I made the focus of my life doing God stuff instead of doing what is pleasing to God. Now I have to take that step back and refocus. The hardest thing about that step back is the sick feeling you get when you realize you broke Gods heart but we serve a God that has so much Love and Grace that when we get Lost in Chaos that He is faithful and just enough to jerk a knot in our butts as my granpa says and get us back on the right path. Even when we feel like a failure for having to step back just remember Jesus took breaks, not because He overwhelmed Himself but to keep from it as a example to us. I hope some how this has blessed you and always remember God loves each and everyone of us.

Life

Well I'm back at it! For the past month satan has been stepping up his game with me. I believe God is moving me into somewhere I have never been before and about to do some AWESOME things, things like never before. The only thing my mind keeps going to is when God allowed satan to hit Job like a bomb. No I am not putting myself on same level as Job! I do believe God has allowed this to happen to strengthen me and learn to turn to those who He has put in my life. A great friend told me to let other people help, my first thought was (like most of you) they can not do it as good as I can. Thats CRAP! They just do not do it the same way I do but it does get done and done very well. I truly believe God is about to move in a awesome way here in Amory MS. We as followers of Jesus Christ need to just hang on and STICK together. This is a AWESOME trip God has got us on and it's a hard lesson I have learned but He is always there. Right by our side and He will never leave us. God Bless
