Pressing Forward No Matter What

These last couple of weeks I have been dealing with some very personal and serious things in my family. I have felt down and sometimes scared. It is difficult sometimes when you see people dying in your family or going through severe medical circumstances. You start to question your own mortality and often times feel vulnerable. Although your life my not seem certain at times, you have to know God's plan is certain. No matter what may be happening in or around you, you must press forward and never look back. Your eyes must stay on the prize and you must live surrendered unto God. Only God knows His plans for you and you can not let life's uncertainties paralyze you. I know how difficult it is to not let your circumstances mold your mind. You have to be on your toes ready to fight. Ready to cast down imaginations. When that thought creeps in you have to lean not unto your own understanding. You can't give yourself time to attach yourself to the emotions. I know that it is important to give yourself time to grieve. I know that in our brokeness God's strength is perfected but you can't fold to the natural. You have to stay attached to God's word. You have to keep moving in the direction of your promise and trust that no matter what happens God has everything under control. You have to press forward no matter what.
