Verse of the week...

Sunday's message by Pastor Sean was AWESOME!!! So what i needed!!. His main topic was off of Romans, but he read this verse and it really hit me. It's when the disciples saw the blind man, and asked Jesus why he was blind, and if it was because his mother had sinned or because his father had sinned...This was Jesus' response:

John 9:3 - "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.

Ok so you may be thinking..yeah that's just a verse..heard it many times...lol..but take a closer look at the end.."this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life"!!! If he was nice and healthy now..how would the work of God be displayed???? Many times we complain so much about our "thorns in the flesh" but we tend to forget that God is in control. He has allowed us to have this  "thorn" so we can remember HIS WORK!! it's basically God saying..."I'm helping you to be humble, and allowing you to show MY WORK" :-) 


I know i struggle with the WHY'S in life..and I always think it's not fair...but if i take a closer look at my life...I think...would i be as close to God and dependent on His will as I am now?? If i could do everything on my own ...would i even take the time to ask??? Absolutely not..I really think my trials are what have kept me faithfully dependent on God....Also it has allowed me to say HE MADE IT WORK!! (HE SOLD MY HOUSE!! - he really did..my house was hopeless :-)) I know it's hard to say but we should all be saying THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME TRIALS THAT HELPING ME STAY CLOSE TO YOU AND THAT SHOW YOUR AMAZING WORK IN OUR LIVES!!!!!! :-)
