Don't give up!!

So i realized that the blog I posted last night was really at like 12:04am ...stink...I really thought I made it! Darn you slow uploads...or maybe...darn you large files! :0)

Believe it or not...Brant and I are starting a new adventure...We are looking for Mobile Home Parks. We are about ready to hit our final stage of investing!! We have been doing Real Estate Investing for the past year and have been stretched farther than I knew was possible! We have, through the grace of God, started two businesses and have lived on pennies through this whole trek! I don't know how we did it, but we did and IT WAS AWESOME! I am sure if you had asked me during the year if it was awesome I would have just smiled a strained smile and said "it's something..." but now I can truly say...the time is now and it is awesome! I am so excited about what God is setting up! There are so many things that we have learned in this past few months that I can't even understand how we did our businesses without that knowledge...it was truly just the Lord bringing things through for us!

I have learned that while somethings may seem like they are better for you to do, if it is not what the Lord has in store for you to do then it is not the best thing! It may hurt to go through the desert, it may be hot and you might start to feel dehydrated (like you can't keep going) but I KNOW that what the Lord puts in  your life for you to live out is exactly what you need to be doing/ going through! Did you know that Isaiah 40:28-31 says, "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."? It is true!! HE LOVES US soo much that HE GIVES US STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING!!! It may seem like things will never end, they will always be the same...but it is not true! That is satan lying to you to keep you down in the dumps! When you believe in the ways of God, He will give you the strength to overcome ANYTHING!

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you..."

Some of you are probably thinking..."I have been praying and nothing is happening....nothing is changing..." But if you are completely honest with yourself have you been seeking God with "ALL YOUR HEART"? If you are totally and completely honest...have you been thinking on things that are positive? Have you been trying to see God in your everyday life? Have you been giving Him the glory for helping you get to where you need to even though you are 30 mins. late? Through out the day keep your eye out for how and when God is working in your life...Did he stop you at a red light so that you would not be in the three car pile up you just passed? Praise Him for everything you notice and I guarantee things will begin to turn around! You will begin to overcome obstacles that you may not even notice...you may also get hit with a little more spiritual attack, but don't worry!! The Lord will continue to be with you and help you overcome!

If you don't get anything else from this blog post just know that I love you and if you need anything I will fight with you on the front lines!! I will be a prayer warrior with you!! The Lord will help you overcome! I LOVE YOU and I hope you have a great day!!
