WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

Hi. i recently became a christian. I just finished university. i am a single mother. Recently everything has been going wrong. I had to leave my job 2 years ago. I cant find another one. my bills are behind. My finances are in a mess. My car has been repossesed. They hve been trying to evict me. I have been to court but i managed to still keep it.

I read the bible everyday. i buy dvds and listen to sermons to explain it to me. I know a lot about the bible and have answers to question that pastors dont have access to. I live the best life that is pleasing to God that i can.

The thing is God speaks to me clearly in day as well as in my dreams. I know that i am choosen. I just dont know to do what. Jesus actually said 'she aint ready for this yet'. Dont know who he was speaking to but i heard him. My pastor said God is going to use me b ut what do i do in the meantime. Im drained, depressed, sometimes i cant get up out of bed. wha do i do in the meantime. I cant just sit and do nothing. what am i meant to do. he has closed the door to job oppertunities but he hasnt opened the gate to show me what dirrection i should go. Have you got any advice for me.

Darkest in the storm
by: Karen

It is really difficult to see the sun when the skies are dark and stormy, isn't it? And it's really tough not to focus on the storm when it's in your face every single day.

But that's what God says in His word. It's a bit like Peter. When He focused on Jesus who was on the water, he was able to walk above the storm. But as soon as he took his eyes off Jesus, he started to sink.

Finding a way to survive during these tough times is on the minds of so many people these days. Is there some financial aid through your church or local community that is available? Is there a local food pantry? Or maybe there is some extra part time work available just to get you through?

I know it's not easy. But sometimes you have to do what you can do, so God can do what He can do. Sometimes He works through your efforts.

I think sometimes people think that if they pray they can sit back and hope God fixes the problem. And of course, there are some problems that only God can fix.

But more often than not, it's when you do everything you can do that God steps in and does the rest. When you've planted the right seeds, God can bring you a harvest.

Blessings,

Karen

Hard is not impossible
by: Vanessa

Seems the hardest thing to do is 'nothing' doesn't it? Waiting is not in our nature, but as Christians it is "Peace be still...know that I am God" that we exist. We can try to do all that we know and it still not seem to be enough. Listening is THE key. Being quiet and just hearing God's Spirit with our heart. Meanwhile, we must keep moving & doing what we know. What we know is to love and pray-without ceasing. What we know is to be good stewards with the little we have-daily. What we know is to empty ourselves, put someone else's needs ahead of our own. In that, His blessings flow. In suffering offered to God for another's good, His grace abounds. God does not think as we do; He does not see 'things' as we do. He knows your needs and He can and will meet them; not necessarily as we wish, but always as He sees fit.
Hang in there & know you are never alone, God knows your struggle and pain. He loves you.
