The disconnect

I love when God shows you things and explains things to you! For example, my whole church went on a week long fast from midnight to noon. As I was praying for my church, I was going through my own situations. I kept asking myself... "Why are relationship with my friends more important to me than to those friends? Why do I have to hound them to hang out? Why don't I get invited? Why do I see everyone else having fun together on social media while I'm at home watching  Netflix? It would be nice to get a invite or a "how are you" text or even a phone call back. Is it my chair?" *Disclaimer: not all friendships, just a few of them!*
But God made it very clear. I was of the world when those friendships were at their best but now that I don't drink, smoke, party, etc., and I put God and my salvation first, there is no room for those people in my life. So I will stop trying to force that  connection we had in the past. I will always love and cherish what we had but I need to move on and keep walking with my Lord and Savior! You are welcome to come with me but I can't turn back like Lot's wife. No pillar of salt for me! The past is the past for a reason. I need to stop and think of what is more important. My old friends that can lead me back to my old ways or my salvation and relationship with my God! I think that is a no-brainer! JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL!

When you have no control, give it to God!

This has been a tough week and it's only Wednesday! My relationship with certain people are shifting and I have no control over any of it. I'm completely lost in limbo. BUT I REFUSE TO LET THE DEVIL RUIN ANYTHING THAT GIVES ME JOY! So I will let God handle those relationships and I will see the good in every situation I am put through! My smile will remain on my face as I conquer this mountain!
I will pray even harder for those relationships! I will not stop loving them and I will not talk ill about them. But I will not stoop low and fight about it. The devil wants to steal blessings, kill relationships, and destroy salvation. He will not be successful! I declare, right now, during my situation and heartbreak, the devil is DEFEATED! He has no power!

As I cry, God will be praised! As my heart breaks, I will rejoice! As I feel this void, I will replace it with His Word! He will give me the comfort I need. I never run a race alone because He is always with me! So if you are reading this, stand and agree with me! Pray with me! God will get the Glory!
