Just when you need HIM.

     I know that I am not alone in this because we all struggle with getting overwhelmed or stressed in the course of our lives. I don't know about you but it happens all too often for me. Maybe it's because there is too much going on or the fact that I have perfectionist tendencies or maybe it's just that I still have to learn to stop worrying and how to trust Him better. Whatever it is, there are days when I get overwhelmed and am ready to give up and throw in the towel. It's those moments when God reminds me that this is His story and He knows exactly what is going to happen and I need to stop trying to control everything.
    I'm not saying that times aren't going to be tough because we will all go through tough times, I'm just saying that there is someone that is there to hold your hand and take you through those times. To you it may seem worse than what it seems like to others and that is why we can't put our trust in people but in God. People will fail, we can't be everything for someone.. even when we try really hard, it just isn't possible. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to be there for people because we should be encouraging them to go to God because in the end it's all about Him and not all about what we can do.
    Recently my pastor said in a service that the person that we go to the most is the person that we trust the most. Who do you go to the most? Do you go to a best friend, a parent, a mentor or a special someone? OR do you go to God? I can honestly say that I do go to Him but more so I go my momma. She is the person that I always want to talk to when things get tough, complicated or when something amazing happens. It isn't wrong that I want to talk to her, she is a godly and amazing woman of God, but it is wrong when I talk to her before talking to the Author of my life. After all doesn't He deserve to come first in all things? I think so.
     This post may seem a bit spread out and scatterbrained but hey I did write it ;) (hehehe!! I'm pretty much always scatterbrained) I just have so many things that I want to say that I don't know how to put it all into one happy little post. God loves you and He loves me. He wants to work through us to do great and amazing things but we have to be willing to be used even when that means that He has to refine us to be what He wants. So when you are having a bad day and want to call that person that you always like to talk to, call on Him and tell Him what's going on and trust that He has a plan and that you aren't going through this for the "fun" of it but for a reason and purpose to bring Him glory.
