So one thing a lot of you guys probably don’t know is that I write... like a lot. I write out my feelings when life gets tough. And as I was going back and looking at some things I’ve written tonight I was reminded about how much God has changed me. These past few months have been a tough and hard season. God's been testing my faith a lot lately. And as I keep getting thrown trial after trial I’m reminded of a book I studied while I was in Hawaii. Job, He was a man of complete integrity. He feared God and turned away from evil. He basically had it all together. Then one day God allowed Satan to test Jobs faith. Satan literally took everything from Job and he still remained faithful. EVERYTHING was ripped away him. But Job Still remained faithful. He trust God.
Job 1:20-22 " Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said, " Naked I came from my mothers womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Its hard when things begin to happen and we begin to face trials to trust in God. During these past few months I had turned away from God. I began to blame God for things happening into my life and really just hated the whole Christian walk. I began to think " If God loves me, Why is he allowing this to take place?" , " If God cares so much about me why did He let this happen?" I spent many restless nights and days angry and hurt. ( when in reality God didn't allow these things to take place... my sinful and wicked heart did.) I looked to my fleshly desires and the way of this sinful world. I'm not perfect and I'm not even close to it. But I do have a perfect heavenly father who cares and loves me so much that He died for MY and your sinful and wicked ways. He still embraces me when I fail him daily and continually reminds me that He's not finished with me yet. If you're feeling discouraged and overwhelmed like this life just isn't working out right now, I want to remind you God's not finished yet. I have to remind myself to have that Job faith. You have a story and this is just another chapter Hes writing. Yes you will have bad days and even though this is a tough season of life right now, Hes not done. I have to continually say to myself " Kayla, look up. Gods not done with you yet. This is just the beginning. You have more chapters ahead of you."
