Stop the Madness!
Have you ever felt out of control? On the job, in your marriage, or with your kids? Well, don't let, "The Madness," take control of you! We have the authority to control every area of our lives. We feel out of control when we let our emotions, and our surroundings lead, instead of the Holy Spirit leading. All gifts, power and authority have already been given to us. We need to recognize that we have everything we need to live victoriously.
As some of you may know, my family is in the military, which means moving every three or four years to a new location. We are currently living in New York. Some say our area is a rough and hard place to live, due to the rapid base deployments, and the weather. Well, I say, "Make the most of your situation and trust God!" My husband was recently deployed overseas, for seven months. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I'm taking this opportunity to grow from the experience. Yes, I'm without my husband and I don't have any friends yet, but I'm not going to let distance, fear or change, stop me from obeying God, and getting on with my life. Life will still go on, with or without me. So why not go with the flow and accept the change?
EVE is helping me to move on. I'm encouraging women all over the world. I could be going out of control right now, and to be honest, at first, it was a bit overwhelming, but I know God has everything in control. So I'm moving with Him. I want to continue to share the gospel of Jesus, whether it's through EVE, or in my new neighborhood. I'm not looking at what I don't have, I'm praising God for what I do have. I'm not crying about the wounds of my past, I'm praising God for wounds that have been healed! I'm not talking about what I haven't done in my life, I'm doing those things that I've been talking about.
Stop making excuses for yourselves and grow into maturity. I'm still growing! There's really nothing new to share that you haven't already heard. To grow in maturity, we need to continue to read the Word, to pray, praise, worship and show love. By showing love, we are leading others to Jesus, and that sets the stage for miracles to happen. We're also being obedient to God's Word. When I moved into my new apartment, in one month, one of my neighbors got saved. Now her husband goes to church with her, and her son got saved. She is now sharing the love of God. She recently took our new neighbors to church with her. Praise God! I shared God's love, and the seed goes on and on. That's what God wants!
Let's stop the madness in our lives and move with the flow of God. Take control of what's going on in your life and live victoriously. There's so many hurting people in the world right now. We all have situations to arise in our lives, but God made a way of escape for us. Let's share that Way with the world, so they can experience the Love of God too.
Thanks so much,
