What's on my heart

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.-2 Chronicles 7:14

I have read this verse over and over again in the past year. I have to say it's one of my favorite scriptures.

I love this scripture so much because it's one that God has proven to be true in my family. When my husband and I got married we were not christians. We believed in God, but there is a big difference in believing in God and LIVING for God! Now, we live for God. We know our every breath is God given and at any minute we could no longer have a life on this earth and when we leave this earth where will you go? God wants every bit of us, he doesn't want to be put in a Sunday box. If your living and breathing YOU have a purpose. God took sinners like my husband and I then saved us by HIS grace.  I don't even know where to start about what God has done for our lives since we gave it over to him. We have three beautiful daughters whom I'm able to stay home and homeschool. A Godly husband who is a great example for our family, I teach the four and five year olds in Sunday school at our local church, the list goes on.. I honestly don't know where we would be today if it wasn't for Jesus in our lives.

Yes, he is the God that gives and takes away. This past February, February 16, 2012 I lost my brother in a horrible car accident. I was very close to my brother and he was only 24 years old. I miss him dearly, but I know God has a perfect will for our lives and he can see the plan that I can't see. Through this I have drawn closer to God for his peace and understanding.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

With God we don't have to be afraid of what tomorrow will bring, He is already there. I pray that I can be a help to someone out there searching for that peace and joy that only comes from the Lord. Even if it is only one soul.

Thanks for reading. Blessings!
