All Things All Things

I don't believe that life should be a struggle.

"Excuse me, seriously, what did you just say!?!" But let me explain....

I know we all go through struggles, difficulties and hard times, those are unavoidable, but I believe, with ever fiber of my being, they can be amazing times.

Why do I believe this......because I have lived it, I have experienced it.

God has carried me and my family through hard times and life has felt/been easy.

 I believe that through God all things are possible, all things are Joyful, all things are peaceful....all things all things :)

My life started with what some would believe to have been a hard start.....I was born to a woman who would not be my mom. I was adopted at 3 weeks and grafted into a new family tree. The family that God chose for me. The rest of my childhood/adolescence was completely blessed. Never did it bother me that I was adopted, in fact, the thought barely crossed my mind. I was as much a part of this family as any baby born into another. I grew up surrounded by love, joy, hope and a relationship with my heavenly father. My teen years, early twenties, late twenties and even into my thirties stays the same course....I have lived a blessed life.

God turns sadness into joy, mourning into laughter....he allows things to happen in our lives that mold and shape us....he refines us but those things don't have to be hard. He is the giver of all good things and what I've learned is the importance of letting go. Letting go of control, letting go of family, letting go of one's self.

I have come to a point in my life where everything that I am and everything that I have belongs to the Lord. My life is in the best hands and I know it.

Why would I try to hold it all together on my own when there is someone who does it so perfectly. He knows what is the best for me and come what may I will trust in him, he has never failed me before.
