Who am I?


Experiencing the winters may not be so fun for everyone.
Sometimes when the weather gets colder we feel down or maybe it just gets in the way of our plans.
For me I've fallen so ill the last few days and that it truly makes it difficult to fulfill any of my plans, or duties, or expectations for the day.
However, do we often take the time to stop and see our surroundings for what they could be? Or Who makes the days so?
The snow is beautiful I have to admit. And I've rarely been one  to complain about the weather. But somtimes we make the weather or even other uncontrollable variables, the reason we grow so weary and disappointed.
Who am I ? I wondered this a few days ago when the pain and aches in my body were beyond bearable.
Do I choose to see His glory in every little thing like I promised?
Do I trust He knows why?
Do I trust He has a great plan for me or do I give up this fight?
How do I overcome this struggle and constant rejection?
It seems that when we question these questions or when life becomes overbearing, those are the moments that we find ourselves reelvaluting.
Even for me, I realize as a follower of Christ that it is not at all easy.
It is constant struggle and judgement and many obstacles that often times I wonder if I'll even be able to pull through. And this world doesn't help. Nor does that fact that I am not very often surrounded by people with similar thoughts as I.
Besides understanding that prayer is powerful, I knew in order to change my perspective and my hope, I was going to have to change my mentality as well. In every situation.
It's when we allow MORE of God into our lives that we truly see His love and power reign.
In this world that is constantly making God seem irrelevant or blaming all this darkness on Him, I can assure you those people do not know God. They are not in relationship or in love with Him. They fail to know who they are and who He is. And that is a sorry reality.
So fear not dear children of the King above all kings.
We are called to bring a radiant light into this world and make disciples of them.
Hold tight - He's not finished yet.
