Food For Thought

So yes, life has been insanely busy. School & work keep me going full time at both, and then there is the the homework, and let's not even talk about my responsibilities at church. It overwhelms me nonetheless. However, just because I am not blogging like I used to, does not mean I don't have tid bits running through my head. Here is what has been on the thought play list for a few days.

Thought #1:

Dreams & visions are from God Himself.
So many times we feel like that just because we do not see them come to pass immediately, we hang them up & forget about them.
What needs to happen is we need to go the the room of faith and do a little spring cleaning.
Clean out the cob webs, blow the dust off, spray some febreeze & begin to breathe life back into our dreams.
It does not matter that our dreams seem so far-fetched does not mean that God has changed His ability to bring them to pass.
So reach for the stars - who cares if it is a bean dream! You never know, it might be in the perfect will of God!!!!

Thought #2:
Friends come & go, but the power of friendship stays the same.
What you invest into a friendship, is exactly what you get out of it.
Just because you lose touch of friends every now & then, does not mean that that relationship cannot be rekindled.
The power of friendship is similar to that of a high powered battery, it will keep going for a long time without being recharged.
God gave us friends to help us through the difficult times in life, just so we would have laughing partners.

Thought #3
Trust is a huge topic!!!
I do not think it is a lesson that is completely learned in life.
I myself feel like trust is a huge vortex that keeps spinning around and round.
So many times in life we trust God for a period of time & then all of a sudden, we think we are a superhero and for some reason we do not need to trust.
However we fall down & go running like a dog with our tail stuck between our legs asking God to forgive us.
I envision trust in God like a good game of memory.
You may not always get the match right away.
However you keep trying until you know where all the pieces are.
Trust in God is the same way - it is a continual process, until trusting Him becomes second nature & we do it without even realizing it!!!

Thought #4:
Since I am soon to celebrate my 26th birthday, I have realized that my mom is ALWAYS right!!!
She taught me that 2 wrongs do not make a right.
Even though my sisters & I always smarted back and said "No, they make a left".
This was our way of getting out of admitting she was right.
Well here I sit today, with my mom's voice ringing in my head.
For 2 days in a row, I have worked with this lady who is literally what the Bible talked about when it said "Pray for those who despitefully use you."
She has done everything within her power to make me angry and to get me in trouble.
Every time I just look at her, smile & walk away - with my mom's voice ringing in my head "2 wrongs don't make a right".
Finally, today my boss came up to me & said "So how long were you going to let this happen without talking to me"?
There was really not much I could do except here my mom's voice again in my head "If I hold my peace, and let the Lord fight my battles. . . "
My mom is precious & wise beyond words.
Love you mother!!!!!!!!!!!!
