I can relate, How can you?

Can you imagine if we never went through any storms?  Can you imagine if you lived this easy life?  I can look around with some friends of mine and see that they never really went through much in their life.   They seem to have it easy, always have, seems like they have been extremely blessed without too big of a life changing trial.  Now I don't know everything about their life or what they may or may not be saying, but outside looking in, they had it pretty easy.

Ive asked myself with the different trials I have faced if I did something wrong, or why God picks on me.  It does seem like it, when it seems like every 3 years I am faced with some form of uncertainty.  I know God has a plan for every single person walking this e

arth and I also know that we have free will to either walk Gods path filled with many blessings or walk our own path with confusion. 

I look around and see why God chose me to go through these storms.  I know they are for a reason, because with Gods strength I have overcome them or grew from them so I can help others.  I then asked myself, what does these people around me that seem like they haven't gone through much, what do they have to offer other people when they really haven't been faced with much heartache or pain?  I know that's not for me to know or to understand, but I then felt blessed with all my trials, I felt blessed that I can relate and touch so many different people with so many different trials that they may face.

I can help anyone, especially a young child with the loss or sickness of a family member, I can relate to any cancer suffering or surviving person, I can relate to anyone who has experienced loss of a child through miscarriage and even infertility issues, and all their suffering that comes with it.  I can relate to a person who's spouse has walked out on them and still encourage them to fight, if that's what God has put on their heart.  I can relate to even myself turning from God in the most depressing part of my life and wanting my heart to get hardened and myself committing adultery after my husband left.  I can relate to God handing you something and you not being thankful enough and Him taking it away.  I can relate to someone who is extremely mad at God, because you don't understand.

I'm thankful for each and every single trial I have gone through.  It has made me who I am today.  I know that my God wouldn't allow these things to happen in my life if there wasn't a reason or a way He could use me to help others.  Each and every season of my life, I know will go down in the book that I feel God wants me to write.  Alot of people ask me why don't I start writing now, and its because God hasn't told me too.  I know these blogs are parts of my book, because I enjoy looking back and reading my emotion that I was feeling in that part of my life and then I'm reminded, so when its time to look back, I can re-feel what I felt and see what God has done.

I mentioned in a previous post that I questioned what my purpose was on this earth.  I feel that it was in those moments the enemy got in my ear and made me question everything.  How can I ever doubt with everything I have gone through that it wasn't all for a purpose? I want to be able to reach out to people, to help others, to encourage others.  The other day it was Mothers Day, which by the way, I want to put pictures up of my events that have been going on in my life, and I will get to that, because I like to look back at all the holidays and events to remember them, anyways, I woke up that morning and it was kind of a down day.  Mothers day isn't the best day for me, yet, because my mother passed and my babies passed and I cant really celebrate it.  Alot of people don't see i have children so they forget that I have babies and of course my mother isn't here, so I cant acknowledge it.  I woke up and had a different attitude, instead of feeling sad and guilty, I woke up and wished all the mothers and mothers to be and even the moms who have lost babies a Happy Mothers Day!!  This day isn't about me, and its not about sadness or pity, because I know that my mother in heaven is taking care of my babies in heaven and what a glorious day it will be when standing at the gate I will hug all of them one day.  You know what?  It wasn't a bad day!  I will share with you my mothers day in my blog when I post pictures, but I was blessed!

When we look at trials and storms in our life and we have pity on ourselves, why don't we turn it around and thank God and use these to help others?  I try hard to not look at my life and ask why, but ask God, "What do you want me to do Lord?  Place people in my life that I can help and encourage!" 

I do encourage whatever you may be going through or maybe its a stillness in your life, no troubles, everything is going great, is to ask God how can He use you or to show you how something good or bad in your life can help someone else.  How many times have you gone through something bad, who did you reach out too?  I notice each and every trial I faced I ran to God, I love the fact that my God loves me that much that He wants to grab my attention and want Him.  At the end of the day, our purpose is to worship God, the Creator or who made us, not for ourselves, but for Him.

I would ask if you have time to listen to this song.....listen to the words....
