Bearing the Cross

I was prepared for my divorce to be finalized and a new chapter in my life to begin. Unfortunately on September 19, my children's father and I were unable to come to an agreement and it was scheduled for pre-trial in February of 2014. TALK ABOUT SALTY! Oh yea...VERY SALTY!!! But I know that I'm doing what is best for my children and not what's ideal for me and what I so desperately want. So with that I questioned why all this was happening.

I was reading Isaiah 53 and it talks about how Jesus died for our sins so that we can again be reconciled with God after this life in earth. Jesus, he who is without sin carried and was weighted down by the sins of man and conquered death and the grave for a bunch of UNWORTHY sinners. The Bible says that we as Christians are to pick up our cross and follow him. We must DIE to out fleshly desires and be like Christ. We must be willing to sacrifice our lives and things we want and desire to follow Gods will and plan for our life. He knows the beginning from the end and we must trust that the end shall be much greater than we could have ever imagined! 

So when I question why things have happened the way that they've happened its obvious that I am carrying my cross, dying to my own selfish wants and desires and allowing God to speak to my heart and lead and guide my footsteps in the right direction. He's never failed me yet, why would he start now????

MORNING!
