From a new View

A few days ago, a friend of mine introduced me to a man by the name of Nick. The following is something he wrote for us to read.

The greatest impatience we experience in our walk with Christ is unanswered prayers. It feels that God doesn’t care anymore. We all go through storms in life and sometimes we feel so helpless and feel that there is no hope. It’s so hard to understand, with our limited wisdom, why our Loving God would let “bad things” happen in our lives. I thought, “if He loved me that much then why does He let me feel so much pain?” I questioned God’s existence, let alone His Love for me. We doubt the credibility of …

“For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Sometimes our pain, suffering, anxiety and depression seem so much more real than the promises of God. I share how God turned my life around from a life without limbs to a life without limits!

You may asked with that last phrase means? well, Nick Vujicic was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth “defect”. As you can imagine, he was faced with many challenges and obstacles, but the Lord gave him strength to have a burning desire to reach out and bring people to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Today, God is using him in a mighty way to challenge people to claim the promise of that future and hope. As Proverbs 3:5 says to trust the Lord with all you heart without understanding the circumstances in your life. God is a good God not because of your circumstances, but because God is Faithful and will not leave you!

He goes on to say It gives me no greater satisfaction than knowing that my life has a great purpose and can be used to Glorify God! My prayer is that you’d be encouraged and challenged to diligently seek the Lord with all your heart and see the great future and hope you have in Christ! May God continue to strengthen and nurture your heart according to His Perfect Will. Have a wonderful day knowing that God is with you every step of the way!

On Vacation

We are back! We took a couple of weeks off for some R&R. Trying to get back in the saddle again. It's hard to swing that leg around when you have some time off, but I'm trying real hard. It is good to be back though. Looking forward to seeing everyone again very soon.
