Back in the saddle

So I haven't blogged in a bit, I needed some time to sort some stuff out in my life. One thing I will say is that I am being tested beyond belief right now, but my heart is calm and my faith in God is as strong as ever. I came to the conclusion that God is challenging me to "Be Gods man in tough times" as I begin my journey to minister to men about the many challenges we face in life. GOD has really put some great men in my life and I am truly blessed by them all. My thoughts are this as I am challenged:
Live one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that you will make all things right if I surrender to your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the next.

"Be careful how you live , not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lords will is".
Ephesians 5 :15-17

These words of scripture will stick with me for a very long time as this is TRULY what God was speaking to me this week. LORD GOD I LOVE YOU!
