An old blog to open my eyes

I do believe that the Lord uses different ways to talk to us; as my husband and I walked together through this difficult time (me diagnosed with cancer) God has used His word, His presence, His people, and our own old experiences to remind us that He is in control. Just today when Craig came back from work I got on the computer looking for a recipe to make oatmeal and raisins cookies and when I opened it, I had a tab with myspace account opened, which I haven't use in a while; I opened it yesterday to copy that poem I wrote two years ago for thanksgiving and I found the following blog, which I am still asking myself if I wrote, because if I did, how come I forgot about it? about what I wrote? and why didn't I read it yesterday? I am glad God knew it was there and His perfect time for me to read it was today, maybe because Craig was close to me, I am not sure why I didn't read it yesterday. Now, you probably think it was just by chance but I do believe things happen for a reason, nothing is by chance. It's some how hard to understand I have cancer, but check what I wrote last year.

Title: Thing we don't understand
Current mood: ;) (a happy smile) and the word Hopeful

There is SO many things we don't understand, especially when we want something and it doesn't go the way we want. For some reason, I still believe that in those moments when seems like God doesn't make sense He does... He always does! Yes, it is not easy to believe that what's happening is the best, but if we start thinking and trusting that the Lord is in control when we don't see any lights, it will be so much easier to understand His purpose. Usually it hurts, our hearts get broken some how, and we probably get frustrated, but there is nothing we can do about some situations. There is always two options (I think), one, we stay with that frustration for the rest of our lives remembering something that could happen and it didn't work out, or, number two, after being frustrated for a while we do realize that no matter what, God is all powerful and He is still in control, He just want the best for His kids and let me remind you that we are His more beautiful and important treasures; He wants us to be happy, He will never do something to harm us, because His only purpose is to bless us, to give us life, the most wonderful and awesome life we can dream with.

I do believe that He will give us the desire of our hearts, but sometimes we just need to stop, let Him work and not complain about anything. May He bless us and give us understanding for those moments we lose our minds and think it is awful, May His light shine upon our lives and His peace fill our hearts for ever, May He give us rest and remind us that His promises are always a reality to wait for, and May His Holy Spirit guide us the way we need to go, in Jesus' wonderful name...Amen!

"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)

May the LORD helps us to trust Him at all times, and may we never give up with good things we desire for our lives.

After I read it for myself I read it aloud for Craig and asked him those questions I wrote above...did I write this? was that me? I felt like God was using me to talk to me..funny hum?

By the way, the cookies were SO good!

Yummy word from God right there and yummy cookies too!
