The Heart of a Lion

Romans 14:8
8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

So I went on a cruise recently and I can honestly say it was truly amazing, wonderful, and relaxing.  I had sooo much fun.  Even with all the things that could have stopped me from having a good time, I still enjoyed myself.

I told myself before my trip that nothing was going to stop from enjoying myself on my trip, and not thing did.  It rained both days in the Bahamas, as well as the day I stayed in Miami, but that didn’t stop me.  I danced all night, laughed all day, slept as much as I wanted to, and ate until I couldn’t eat anymore.  I can’t even sum up or truly describe the experience.  It’s just something that you’re going to have to experience for yourself.  If you’ve been on one, then you know what I’m talking about.

It was great and I look forward to my next one.

So, I’ve definitely been M.I.A. from Tumblr for about a month now.  Not even purposely.  Other than randomly popping up and reposting pictures, I just haven’t given it much thought.  I guess I really just haven’t been inspired to write lately.  I definitely have a lot to talk about, but to actually type or write it out hasn’t even crossed my mind.

Work had been a bit stressful for a while, but there’s nothing that trusting in God and prayer won’t triumph.

I was frustrated for a while because I was going on a cruise and couldn’t find my birth certificate and didn’t have the money to get a passport rushed to me.  But, God is good because it turns out my grandmother had my birth certificate the whole time.

Things have been a bit crazy in my personal life but I’ve just gotten to the point where I don’t care anymore.  Not “don’t care” in the sense that I’m just going to let my life spiral out of control, but “don’t care” in the sense where Im not going to stress over the things I cannot control.  It’s all in God’s hands and I trust that He’ll do a better job of handling things than I would by myself.

I’ve been more focused on God lately than I had been in awhile.  That’s a great thing.  Sometimes we allow ourselves to get so busy and/or so focused on other things that we lose touch of what really matters, and lose touch of who’s really in control.

The weaker I grow in the flesh, the strong I grow in Christ, and I thank God for that.  I don’t have the energy to fight certain things or deal with certain people anymore, but God is keeping me, strengthening me, and preparing me for something far greater than I can even imagine.  As he prepares me, I’m preparing myself so that when the time comes, I can be used at maximum capacity.

I’m just extremely excited for what all God is doing my life.  I know I’m rambling a bit, but when it comes to God, can you blame me?
