It's Time To Lay It All Down!

It's time for me to trust I mean really trust God. Yes, I tell myself I am going to trust God and I do for a while but as soon as something else goes wrong in my life or something turns out to be harder than I thought I stop trusting and start worrying. Well its time to stop that. It's times to give God my worries and stress over schoolwork, making and keeping friendships,my family, finding a job over the summer, and finding scholarships. Just to name a few of my worries lately. I have always been a bad worrier. And I need to stop. For real what do I have to worry about I have the Creator of the Universe on my side. He promised to never leave me nor forsake me and God always keeps his promises!! I also need to focus on the many many blessing that God has and is giving me instead of focusing on what I do not have. Its time to let the Lord my God control my life and not just part of it, all of it!! Also, its time that I give Him all my troubles for good!! I need to quit trying to take my life over when trouble comes. God knows the big picture and He is and always will be there. Honestly, when I found out that my brother had a tumor I was scared to death. I love my brother so much and he is pretty much my best friend!! But instead of knowing and trusting that God was in control and that His will is perfect I let fear control me. However, I am done being scared and I am done worrying about the little things in life and I am putting all my faith, hope, and trust in my Lord and Savior. Without Him I am nothing!!!! Also, lately I have worried about whether I am doing the will of God. I keep asking Him where He wants me but all I can do is wait patiently and trust in Him. I read in my devotions that the little voice in your head aka your conscience is really the Holy Spirit guiding you. So, if you really feel that you should be doing something and your not or vice versa I feel that is God showing us His will.

I will leave you with some verses, and lyrics to one of Chris Tomlin's songs that gives me hope and peace and helps me know that God is in control!

Proverbs 3:5 and 6

Psalm 139:8-16

Jeremiah 29:11

Isaiah 26:3

You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You Are
Bridge:For there is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
Chorus 1:Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here
Verse 2:You're the Lord of Creation
The Creator of all things
You're the King above all Kings
You Are
You're the strength in our weakness
You're the love to the broken
You're the joy in the sadness
You Are
Chorus 2:Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Where glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for you and love for you
In this city
Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here!!

Asking for Prayer

Last weekend I went home because it was MLK weekend and even though i was suppose to go

to my roommates house for the break i went home because I had to go to the doctors because I

had an infection which is cleared up now. However, when I went home my brother was sick and

he had a bad migraine well he had this migraine for the entire weekend and finally my mom took

him to the emergency room last Sunday and they just told him he had a bad migraine and gave

him some medicine. Well he continued to have headaches every day and then my mom took him to

our family doctors and he told him he thought something was wrong and he needed tests. So, he

went and got tests done and they found a tumor behind his right eye which is causing the

migraines and also his lazy eye. They said they thought maybe he had this tumor since he was 8

years old so hes had it for 13 years maybe but because of this they do not think its cancerous. I

am trying to trust God with all this but its really hard!! I just hope he will be all right! He has an

appointment with a neurologist in March. So I would appreciate prayers for him!!

New Semester

Okay here I am in my new semester and let me tell you its going to take me awhile to get back into school again!!

These few days have felt like weeks!!!!!

I am taking five classes: Fundamental Math, Tesol(Teaching English to speakers of other languages):Theories and Issues, Understanding Numerical Data, The Biological World, and Personal and Community Health Concerns. Which I am not sure about this load yet because I am not the best at math or science but o well and I have 8 o clock classes everyday :(



Besides the fact that I get to see all my friends again I wish I was still on break but Im sure I get back into it!



I had such a wonderful break spending time with friends and family!!!! :)







I will leave you with something I read in my devotions today that really encouraged me to just keep moving foward!!!



Face forward. Real life happens in the present, and God's blessings happen now and in the future.

Accept your circumstances. God uses the difficulties of life to help you mature and grow in Him.

If you're following God, you will find Him in all your circumstances.

Trust in the Lord. God will keep you in perfect peace when your mind is focused on Him.

Hope for the future. God is a bright star who will light your path in the present darkness.

I have complete faith in God!
