Hey ya’ll! I know this blog is supposed to be about crafting and sewing but in my about me section I told ya I would throw in some info about life as well. 
I have a question for you… do you feel stuck in life? Like you don’t know where to turn… everything is going wrong??
Kinda like when you were a kid and got your head stuck in the stair spindles? You know you’ve done it! (In the south its more like the deck rails, but you know what I mean!)
And in some cases the firefighters had to come and save you! lol
Well, I’m sure we’ve all felt that way at some point or another in life… and if you haven’t, you probably will someday. I know I have. Just through facebook I can see that people feel stuck in life. Times are tough! People are trying to just make ends meet!
We’re trying to make plans for our future… our family’s future… We have our own ideas as to what we want our future to be but we forget to include one person… God… We think “well this is what I want, so, this must be what God wants for me…” Boy, can I tell you from personal experience… wrong idea!
Trust me, I know. When I was in high school I just knew I was going to college to play ball! I KNEW it. I was a pitcher. At the end of one season I had an .89 ERA, a great batting average, a scout calling me , and a college calling thinking I was eligible to play the next season… no sir, I still have two years of high school left lol… I just KNEW it. It was MY plan.
But, you know what? It wasn’t God’s plan for me… It was MY plan. He kept knocking at my door until I listened… Junior year and summer… I played horrible and everywhere I turned God was saying “NO… NO… NO.” I finally realized it wasn’t his plan.
The thing is sometimes we have a plan for our lives that isn’t God’s plan. I already found this out the hard way. If you are a follower of Christ, it will eat you up until you realize it.
And if you’re not a follower of Christ… you should be. Why? Because it is GREAT! He died on the cross so that we can be forgiven for our sins and oneday… will be able to spend eternity with him in Heaven. HE will change your LIFE FOREVER.
The reason I’m sharing this is because I’ve been spending some time with God recently and this is what he has laid on my heart. If you feel like you have no where to turn. I want to tell you, you can turn to God. He will listen and if you follow HIS plan for you… suddenly the big problems won’t seem so big!
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philipians 14:3
I think this is the first step to feeling UNSTUCK… we have to start following God’s plan for us. He is the firefighter there to get your head from between the stair spindles!
This past week I’ve been listening to some different podcasts. I ran across a series by Perry Noble, of Newspring Church, called “STUCK.” I listened to this series and I must tell you… it rocked my world. If you feel stuck… you HAVE to listen to this series. HAVE TO. I promise… it will change you. Just go and add it to your ipod and listen to it while you are working out, riding to work, working on homework, cooking dinner, getting pumped for a big game!
Here is a link to the podcasts. Click on the Audio section next to STUCK. Or you can watch the video here! I must say, if you have the time to watch the video… do. (Click on the drop down to STUCK and the video series goes from the bottom up. It tricked me! lol)
By the way, if you are from my area and don’t have a church family, we are in the beginning stages of starting a church called New HOPE Church. We would love to have you! We all need HOPE! If you are interested in joining us send me a message and I’ll give you directions!
