When I Am UnCertain

Repost from Shaking' the Foundation

Shaking' The Foundation
*********************************************************************************


I am not immune to uncertainties in life. 
I have my share just as the next person does. 
Times when I have no idea what step to take......
What decision is for the best........
When my judgement is clouded by circumstances.....
And I feel as though I am drowning in my situation.

The misconception that is viewed upon those in the body of Christ is we never have bad days....
No doubts, uncertainties, fear or feelings of weariness and despair......
When we do have those days, we are to smile and act as though nothing is wrong because that would mean we have no faith.
 Or the painted picture of the world is to be a woman or man of faith  we walk through life all sunshine and roses without struggle one.
I have even had some mock me with their words " Where is your Jesus now?"
Wrong answer..... 

I have learned the stronger my faith becomes, the more battles I have.
Therefore I have times when I become so  weary in my flesh, I have my own uncertainties as to how I will overcome the task ahead of me. 
Even Jesus himself cried out to God when he was in the Garden of Gethsemane praying before he was arrested.

Luke 22:42
'Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."

He knew what his fate was and the task that laid ahead of him.
But look what happened after he cried out.....

Luke 22:43
An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.

It is when we cry out to our daddy God he sends the help we desire
The answers we need.......
The peace we long to have wash over and in us. 

My uncertainties do not come from the battles or decisions ahead of me. They come from my own lack of strength and wisdom. 
They will manifest when I lean to my own abilities and not those of my daddy God.
Today I  read these words......

Psalm 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. 

Proverbs 24:14
Know also wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off. 

Being a woman of faith does not mean I will not have trials and tribulation in this life.
God's word tells us that we will have those. 
He also tells us he will never leave nor forsake us. 
Being a woman of faith  does not mean I will not fall in life, make mistakes or sub-come to the pressure of life. 
What it does mean......
I know who to lean on.....
I know where to turn for wisdom....
I know where my strength comes from.

There is no shame in having uncertainties.
It's is through my weakness  His power is made perfect.

2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 

When I am uncertain..........

    Hi Stacey, shoo, tough post. So true though, the more one's faith grows the more battles there seem to be. We NEED God every day. Sometimes I think I am a little like Jonah, seeking to run away, but there is always that big fish to bring us right back to where God wants us. And He sustains us and strengthens us for what it is He has for us. Great post my friend
    God bless

      Thank you my friend. Life is all about growing and learning to be all He has created us to be isn't it? So thankful that He holds us up in his right hand never to let us go.
      Thank you for your sweet words.
      God bless
      xoxo

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........

Am I Ready Lord ??

I can speak of my past....... I feel safe in my present.......... But I am nervous for my future...... Excited and nervous wrapped into one. Am I ready Lord?? God's word tells us, He did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love and sound mind. So why am I so nervous?  Maybe I am scared of myself..... ~Sheesh~ Scared I will maybe make the same choices again..... ~Yuck~ Scared the "old" me will resurface and the emotional baggage of my past will consume the me of today..... ~Lord No~ Fearful if I truly allow someone in, I will be rejected.... ~tears~ Or the choices I make will be just that, MY choices and not God's will for my life. ~Sweet Jesus~  My door of isolation has opened, I take my first few steps breathing in the new season that is upon me...... It is a sweet excitement..... Very sweet!  But as refreshing as it is, part of me wants to run back to the sheltered place I hav...
