Words

How many times have someone's words gotten you down, just really hurt you? It hurts even worse when those words are spoken by your loved ones.

Although it is important to be honest and direct it is also important to realize that we should not pay attention to every word people say to us.
(Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you. Your heart knows that many times you yourself have cursed others. Ecclesiastes 7: 20-22)

It can be difficult to know what things to pay attention to and which to ignore and move on. No one knows you better than Jesus Christ, so leave it up to Him.

I give it all to God and He reassures me that I am His and shows me from His Word what I need to work on, and what I need to change.

Garden a Little God is so magnificent  and almighty! I’m always in awe of His glory! I grew up in a family that was very close to self-sufficiency. We grew what we ate and in that I was taught of clean and delicious eating, while maintaining the health and joy in life! I love plants and especially plants that bear fruit or harvest that is able to be consumed by me and  give me health and strength. God created it that way and I love it! In watching plants grow you see so much of His character in the whole growing process. Start small Garden a little is the name of my dream garden. I’m sharing this because gardening can be so easy and yet so helpful and therapeutic, and able to connect us closer to our Creator.

Lately I've been so overwhelmed with the school and my work. I hardly had time to sit down to study the Word of God... I felt to busy all the time and troubled with my thoughts about my plans, my classes, my future. I now understand that I saw my problems and in my mind they stood higher and bigger than the LORD, and it drove me into a deep pit out of which no one was able to get me out. When I finally realized where I ended up I reached out to people: my family and friend s. I then went back and started studying the Bible, thus I reached out to my LORD and soon after, God gave His hand to me and got me out of that pit. That deep hole was constant anxiety and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. I realized that my God is bigger than any of my problems that I face and make up along the way. He is in control of all things and if I trust in Him, He will do everything according to His will and to my benefit. My God is bigger than any challenge I face.
