Y’all, I know I am not perfect. I make mistakes. I make plenty of them. I also know God loves me no matter what. I get angry and upset. I feel pain and heartache. My house isn’t always clean and picked up. My dishes aren’t always done. My clean laundry sometimes sits in the baskets unfolded. I’ve snapped at my kids. I have been known to take naps. I have binge watched a series before. I’ve forgotten, and boiled eggs until theyโve turned black. I’ve whispered things under my breath. I laugh and I cry. Like the ugly kind of cry. Can you relate to any of that?

You guys. I’m human. We all do things we aren’t proud of. But, what I do is pray to God. I talk to God. And I listen to God. I know God loves me and more often than not, He has something to tell me. And if I am not listening and paying attention to Him reaching out to me, I miss it. I miss those golden nuggets of information He wants me to know. I miss those ‘coincidences’ that are put right in front of me. I mess up and think that I know better. That my plan is the right one.

There have been times where I literally go against things that happen, and ignore other things in my life, because I don’t want to do it. Maybe, what is shown to me looks too hard. Or I feel it might be too much work for me. There are also times when I feel God is telling me to do something and I honestly feel that it’s impossible. That there is no way I could make it work. When I do that, once again, I miss out on things. I miss opportunities for ways He wants to make my life better.

God is bigger than all of us and God loves us unconditionally. Remember that. He gave us free will, which means we have to make choices, and yes sometimes we make bad choices. He also knows we aren’t perfect. NONE of us are. But He still tries over and over again to show us the right answers. The better path for us, even if it’s difficult.

So instead of beating yourself up. Crawling into a hole to hide. Being angry at who you are or what you just did. And feel like you can’t keep up anymore. Stop a minute. Life might have gotten ahold of you and taken your eyes off of God.ย Look to Him for the answers. Pray on it. And don’t forget to listen and watch for what He wants you to do. So many times, the answer is directly in front of you. You may just have to bite the bullet and run with it. He’s got your back the whole time. I promise you!!!

The goal is not to be perfect and do everything correct. The real goal is to depend on Him to guide us. He knows what is best for us and we have to trust Him. You need to accept options for your life that may be tough, but the smart choice. Listen to what God has to say to you and act on it.

There are some of you in such a bad place right now, that you feel you will never get out. Your house has been messed up for weeks, maybe months, and just getting worse. You’re fighting with ones you love, and watching the rest of your relationships struggle. You feel you can’t do anything right. You find yourself asking, “Is this it?” “Is this what my life has come down to?” “I’m miserable.โ โI donโt enjoy anything anymore.” But, it’s not too late. It’s never too late to pray and allow God to help you. Listen and watch for Him to come into your life and show you the correct path towards happiness. Know God will make life better!
