Trust in Him!


To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David.* Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy. Psalms 61:1-3


There are times where we all feel overwhelmed, helpless, and not sure what to do. It is these times, that we must trust in God, he will lead us. I know it may be hard, to just want to give up, let Satan grab you and turn you to the ways of him. That is not what God's intention is, hard times are giving to us to allow us to bring God back into everything that you do. It is not that he wants you to fail, it is that he wants to show you that it is he who provides, he who leads you. I truely believe that everything happens for a reason, with a silverlining to it all and although at the moment everything is going on, it may not seem like everything is going to work out, or it may not work out the way you like it. That is only because God has a plan for us, placing us in situations to make our bond and ourselves stronger and ready for what he has in store for us.

He always has the right answer, turn to him, and believe in him as he has in us.

A Woman's Worth.




Today I came across some verses in Proverbs and thought I would share them with you.
Proverbs 31:10,27-28:


"A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also and he praises her;"


So what is this, who does that make us? We as women, deemed highly respected, highly exalted, for our characteristics. We are precious people with hearts of gold, mainly concerned with those around us over ourselves. We put our household above all else, and stand by our partners in life, straying from laziness and deceitful behavior. Give praise where praise is deserved. We tend to be the first to rise and the last to fall, when it comes to things of the family. We are strong women, with sensitive traits as well. We stand for what is right, and fight for correction of the wrong.

So while some of us may feel we are not important, we are. We are incredible people and in this day may not be given that honor. You should never feel you are worth less than what you are, that was never the plan. Strive for your purpose in life and not to let foolish things keep you down. We are deserving of care and attention and in the words of Maya Angelou, "Phenomanal Women."
