God has saved your Soul and because of that we will spend eternity in Heaven with Him. That alone should be enough to let us know how blessed we are!
A question for you: If God did nothing else for you from this point forward would you still follow Him?
God's word is clear that it is, "not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord!" God does not have to do signs, wonders, and miracles for you. He did the one thing that mattered the most and the thing that saved your soul when he sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for your sins.
Don't be bothered by the things you don't have in life. If you are reading this you already have more than others have. We truly are Blessed! Don't set your sights on what "man" calls blessed but on what God calls blessed! It is BLESSED to be called a child of God! "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God!"
So, enjoy your Blessed day!

Living in the past...
...is NOT a good thing! Quit looking back and pondering on the things of the should've, could've, would've, etc. You are holding yourself back from the Present! The here and now that God has for you! You will NEVER enjoy your life if you live with regrets!
To be a little cheesy, each new day is a gift...that is why it is call the PRESENT! The here and now!
So, what are the things that keep you bound? What is it that causes you to greive or mourn the past. The Bible is clear when it says that, "weaping may endure for the night BUT, oh how I love the word BUT, but JOY comes in the morning! As the rain that we have had recently has washed away all the grit and grime from the roads so has the blood of Jesus washed you clean! NOTHING can seperate you from the Love of God!
Proclaim VICTORY today! Show, don't just tell, the devil that "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH; you, devil, can go back to hell where you belong! No more will you rob me of happieness, joy, peace, prosperity(of all kinds). Release any hold that you think you have on me or my family and run, flee to the flock of pigs that will take you off the cliff."
Now that you have taken the shackles off your feet...DANCE! Dance like David! Don't worry about who is watching and what they will think! It is time for us, the Church, to arise and take back what is rightfully ours! Yes, you will be hated; remember that Jesus was also hated! But no matter what people show to you, you show them love! Love is the greatest weapon we have to win others to Christ!
Let this be your song today: "It's a new season! It's a new day! Fresh anointing coming my way! It's a season of power and prosperity! It's a new season and it's coming to me!"

Sometimes...
...you have to let people go through things and even though you may have the means to help them, you will only hurt them more by doing so.
You may think that this is contrary to what the Bible says but let me remind you of two verses. They are in different places in the bible but are both true. I am paraphrasing: 1)If you see a brother in need and have what they need but do not help them, shame on you. 2)Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for a life time.
So, back to what I said at the beginning, "Sometimes you have to let people go through things and even though you may have the means to help them, you will only hurt them more by doing so."
So, where do you draw the line? Here is what I think:
You, nor I, are peoples Saviour. If we continually bail them out of situations, if we are their crutch in everything, then they will never learn to run, lean on, and trust the true Saviour Jesus Christ, who is the Lord of ALL!
We as humans need to vent, release, and talk about stuff to others. Letting it all out to another is fine but once you have listened to what they needed to vent, release, etc, leave it there and do not take it upon yourself as your problem. It is not your problem. Why add another "worry" to your life.
My personality is one that I jump into "FIX MODE!" If there is a problem I will fix it and I will work until it is fixed. Who am I though to think that my solution is better than what God Almighty can and will do for that person. If I chose to jump in there and work on their situation then I am getting in the way of what God wants to do for them and I am showing them that no matter what they can always come to me and I will fix it for them.
So, be that friend where your friend(s) can come to you and talk to you about things they are struggling with, or things they may need, just remember to listen and not feel that you have to act upon it. Encourage them to talk to God about it and lay it at His feet. If lead, pray for them right then. If it is something that you are able to assist them with go ahead, just don't feel that it is your responsibility because most of the time, things we are going through are things that will make us stronger in the end.
Remember, the title of this blog is "Sometimes". You, as a Christian, must discern what to do in each and every situation, but I do know that it is not our place to FIX anyone. In everything though, do it out of Love. Just like there is a way to say "yes" in love, there is also a way to say "no" in love.

Blogging...
I haven't found the right thing to blog about lately so that is why you haven't heard from me. I don't want to use my blog like I do facebook and post the same things on both. I want to start using my blog as a way to reveal my heart and share other things so keep checking back, I will post something eventually.
One thing though...Next Wednesday is my court date to go before the judge about my speeding ticket. I think I have decided to just ask for driving school, attend a class on a saturday, pay the $120.00 and keep it off my record. The thing is though, everytime I think about the day I got pulled over, which is everyday, I feel that I should plead not quilty and tell the judge why?!?! The only thing about pleading not quilty is, if the judge does not see it your way you do not have the option of asking for driving school instead. (or atleast that is what I have been told) I really need clarity on what to do. "Dear Lord, please show me!"
