    Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and beautiful at the end!!
    A lot of times when God opens up a new door,it’s hard for us to keep moving forward coz it doesn’t look how we pictured it and it takes faith and patience to keep moving on the path that God has called us !!
    You can’t give up!!
    No matter how hard it gets you’ve to keep moving forward by being confident in God !!
    I believe and pray for the person who reads this that God will provide you strength for the battles that you’re currently fighting!!

      I don’t know what’s going on in your live and i don’t know your situation, but as a daughter who’s a little rocky with their mother as well, make sure she feels heard. You may have a different opinion on something or disagree, but make sure she feels heard. When we don’t feel heard or understand and it’s constant, it makes us want to just give up and turn away. I pray God blesses your daughter and your situation, but just wanted to share.

    For me no matter what I have to stay humble and grateful. I'm not perfect so I can't say I'm perfect at staying humble or grateful but if God sees me not being humble and grateful he quickly reminds me of how my life used to be and how quickly the things or people that I'm grateful for in my life today, can be taken away. This message reminds me of my entire family, even though we have our differences, if someone is hungry or needs a place to stay, were always here for each other!! And really it doesn't stop at only family, that goes for anyone that crosses our paths.

    Please pray for us, we are awaiting decisions from the government for my husband so he can stay with us. @2:42...not enough light to illuminate our path but enough just to see for our next immediate step....i feel such hope and encouragement when pastor says, "you can't dis-appoint what God has already appointed"....
