Who we belong with.

I believe that when God created each and every one of us he also created that one person that he knew was the person we are to be with. But of course, lots of us tend to try and do things our own way and because of that usually end up with plenty of other people EXCEPT the one God is leading us to. And when things start going wrong we start thinking of things we could change about that person to make things better. And when that doesnt work, we end up in divorce. When the whole time that one person has been right there! Sometimes we are luck and eventually do make our way to finding that right person (like me) but sometimes we never do. I'm not saying that God wants everybdy to go and get divorced so they can find that right person!! That is not what I am saying at all. What I am saying is look for his voice. If we are silent and truely wanting to hear it, we will. And when we lay our own wants down and yield ourselves to him, then we will see that he will tell us exactly what it is that he wants us to do. EXACTLY!! Whether it be showing you how to fix your marriage (if you are married) or telling you what it is that you need to do to get to where you belong. I am also not saying that all relationships are mistakes and therefore your children from previous relationships are mistakes either!! God is always going to make the best come out of every situation we get ourselves into. EVERY situation, even the bad ones. Our children are a blessing from God, even though we are not worthy of anything good, he still continues to bless us. So if you currently find yourself in a bad relationship or alone, give it God, wait on God with an open heart and he will fill it. I'm not saying he will automatically send you somebody, he might not. But I am saying he will not only fill the void but he will overfill it!

When 911 happened

I was driving to work oblivious to what was happening in the world. Then my friend Justin called me like he usually did every morning and told me that a plane crashed into the Trade Center. I remember not even knowing what the Trade Center was. I remembered thinking that it was horrible for that to happen but not quite sure how this was any different from any other plan crash. He started explaining to me the magnitude of the situation and I started to grasp that this was something way different than anything else. I tured on the radio and it was everywhere. Then I got to work and saw the images on TV at a business next door. It was true horror. Somehow we got a TV in the office for us and all day all we saw where images that will forever be engraved in my mind. Nobody was hungry that day, nobody cared whether payments were being made or not (I worked for a finance company). Customers who we were always on edge with were suddenly our friends as we mourned together. I didn't personally know anyone that was in those towers that day. But the pain was the same for all of us. In the days, weeks and months to come people tried to rebuild themselves but the pain was still to real. Eight years have passed since the day that America united on our knees. My heart, love and tears go out not only to every person that was there that day, but also to everybody that remembers. My question for you today is: Where were you when 911 happened? May God bless the families of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and those who continue to fight for us.
