What To Share...

A lot of times when I write blog posts I have to really think about what I'm writing and who is going to be able to read it. This post is random... kind of a bunch of random thoughts jumbled together. I don't just blog for my readers- but for myself as well. I want to remember this week. Usually when I write a post I read it over and over and edit it several times. I didn't do that with this post.So this post is for me.. my random thoughts on yet ANOTHER rainy afternoon here in Connecticut. Sharing from the heart.

This week has been an interesting week. It's amazing how certain circumstances or events can change you.... who you are.. what you believe. And maybe not change you- but influence you. Effect you... your emotions. What you think.. how you feel.. about yourself, your life, your friends...

Sometimes I wish it was different. Sometimes I wish that certain things like this wouldn't effect me as much as they do. Sometimes I wish I had the power to turn my emotions on and off with a switch. I wish I could say, "oh well.... it's no big deal".. and MEAN IT! But I can't- I'm human. I was given these emotions for a reason. I was given these emotions by a God who can use them for HIS glory... because that is why we are all here anyway. For God. To use ourselves, our feelings, our lives.. for Him. It's a powerful thing- can you imagine how much stronger this world would be if we all worked together for the same God?

 I'm praying this week for those around me who don't know the Lord. Those that aren't living to fulfill some kind of purpose for HIM. I'm praying for a girl, my age, whose husband committed suicide yesterday... I'm praying for everyone effected by domestic abuse and violence.. I'm praying for those too scared to ask for help. I'm praying that God would reveal to me what He wants me to do with this overwhelming feeling that I need to do something for Him...that He would reveal how I can use my life and myself for HIM in a bigger way. 

It's been an interesting week. I don't know what the Lord is trying to reveal through it all.. but I know that He is working in my life. I know that He has a plan for me.. a big plan. I am praying that through the tough stuff.. that He will be revealed- always. I'm living this life for Him and I will never be afraid afraid to share that.
