Seeing The Light

  I have been thinking about this quote for the past few days and thinking how its so true. It says "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it." That's an amazing statement everybody struggles in life and for some it seems more than others, we can never forget that Jesus told us that He will never give us anything we can not handle. When I think about that, I think of my Daughters and how we had to give them up for adoption. That was the hardest thing I have ever done and I pray nothing gets harder than that in my life. But knowing that I can truly handle everything Jesus throws my way as a sign of relief and we have nothing to worry about. He is always there to get us through our troubles. There is no better feeling than knowing everything will always be OK in the end. As I look back a few weeks ago where I don't think my Alaska trip is going to work I gave myself to God and everything is great. I feel that I am truly looking through a key hole of all the great things that are yet to happen in life. I feel that all I can see right now till I open the door fully to God and take in all  his wonder-us gifts he offers us each and everyday is just a glimpse of what is yet to come . So I am 15 days and a wake up lol (Army people will understand) till my adventure starts in Alaska. This coming weekend I am having a garage sale to try and make a few more dollars for when I get up there. I also cant wait to get a chance to meet the priest from the church in Fairbanks that way I can figure out if they have a youth group or a young adults program also I would love to have either Matthew Kelly or Sean Forrest come and speak up there. I have heard them both and they are great exactly what it seems the church needs now a days to try and bring people back and fall in love with Jesus Christ again like I have. There is no better feeling than being close to Him Period. I look back and see how lost I was just a month ago and don't know how I survived without Him, but that's another thing He is always beside you weather you believe in Him or not He is there waiting on someone like us to share the Light with them and open there hearts to the Lord once again.
