Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:15-16

Where the sidewalk ends...

...God begins! Out of answers. At the end of your rope. Mission Impossible. No way no how. There is no hope. Do you believe in a path? Do you believe that you are here for a purpose? Do you just need answers or guidance? I believe in a path. A light at the end of the tunnel. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A light bulb moment. Whatever you want to call it. God has a plan. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ NIV) So many times I want things. Did you get that? "THINGS"! Sometimes I want to trust my own way and make up my own right answers instead of going to God for guidance. I want to believe that my way is his way. God reminds me that he is more than "things". That my life was not created to be about "things". My life was created to serve and honor Christ. My life was created for more than I can see? Did you catch that? MORE THAN I CAN SEE. I know that God created me to be the mom of four amazing boys. He created me to instill in them the love that Christ gives in an effort that they love others the same way. He created me to love them, raise them, teach them and challenge them. He has given me this awesome opportunity that is so easy to take for granted. He has given me the opportunity to be a wife to a wonderful godly man. God has given me someone that loves me. That holds me when I'm down and lifts me up when I'm weak. Someone that challenges me to be a better wife and mother. At times I've asked myself "what purpose am I here for. What has God put me on this earth to accomplish?" Often times I have missed the answer in front of my face all along! He tells me to embrace this moment. To see the joy and the glory in what I am getting to do. To see that "yes" you were created for so much more! More love, more hugs, more kisses, more more more... Embrace this time. Love this time. Time that I will never ever EVER have again! When you think you are out of answers. When you think you are out of hope...Seek HIM! "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33-34‬ NIV) He has the answers! He's the only one that does. I can try to come up with the answer. I can try to find my own way. But it's so much easier if I just let him lead! It's so much easier if I only trust! So when you feel like your sidewalk is ending...know there is someone who can make your path clear again!
