I may not know how to do this. I may not know how things are supposed to go, how things will go, and how things end up.
But the one thing I do know is that it’s okay to not know…
Because despite not knowing,
I trust in You.
Sincerely,
Catherine Rose
“Every time you hold me, hold me like this is the last time. Every time you kiss me, kiss me like you’ll never see me again.”
It’s more than just a simple statement.
What a journey this season has been, but what a season that was needed. I never realized how much I relied on myself more than trusting in God, and it was by God’s grace that He allowed these hardest last couple of months to help me wake up and realize that. He could’ve left me on that dangerous path, but He lovingly decided to intervene and get me back onto His course.
There is nothing more beautiful than trusting in the Lord in the midst of your storms… But there is nothing more beautiful than trusting in the Lord when everything is fine and dandy. There is nothing more God-glorifying than trusting in Him at ALL times.
Things were definitely not easy… They were hard as heck! So many times I wanted to give-up and call it quits because it never went the way that I thought it should have. But in those humbling moments, I let go of myself and I grabbed on to God ever so tightly… And He grabbed on to me and never let me go. God walked me through it. And He’s all I ever needed. I just needed to trust - in HIM.
So here I am today, with God, walking into a totally new season. My circumstances still aren’t perfect, but things are definitely looking up. I’ve put on God’s perspective and have seen the way He places things so beautifully together. It is all falling into place… But it wouldn’t have happened if I had continued to look inward rather than upward. All praise and glory goes to God!
And this is only the beginning. Continuing to let go and let God.
I’d rather have His beautiful story in my life unfold anyway. <3
Ladies,
If you have to chase him,
he probably doesn’t want you.
A real man of God will do the pursuing.
A boy, however, can’t make up his mind
and l o v e s to plays games.
Your heart and feelings are too precious
to give away to just anyone who looks your way.
Be patient, every lady deserves a man that will treat her as such.
Don’t settle for a boy when God has your perfect man.
There was a man who fell in the pit. He couldn’t get out by himself…
Some Pharisees walked up and said you deserve that pit.
A psychologist said that if you accept that pit, you’ll be happy.
A geologist said to do a rock study on the strata on your pit.
The IRS came by and said you should pay taxes on your pit.
The reporter came up and said “I’d like to do an exclusive story called “The Man in the Pit.”
A Calvinist said that it was God’s will that you should be in that pit.
An Armenian said that you chose to be in your pit.
The charismatic said “I just want you to confess that you’re not in that pit.”
The self-pitying person said “You haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen my pit.”
The optimist said things could be worse and the pessimist said things will get worse. His mother said “It’s your father’s fault that you’re in that pit.”
The father said it’s your mother’s fault and the wife said “It’s all my fault that you’re in the pit.”
The Hawawaiian said “Aloha down there!”
The New Yorker just looked at it, said nothing, and just kept walking.
But JESUS walked by and He saw the man in the pit. He made no comment on why he was in the pit, but He took him by the hand and He took him out of that pit.
