LIFE IS HARD, BUT GET OVER IT, HE DID NOT PROMISE US A ROSE GARDEN!

FIRST OF ALL I KNOW THE TITLE SOUNDS ROUGH, AND ONCE AGAIN I AM TALKING TO MYSELF, I AM A VERY VISUAL PERSON AND IF I READ IT , IT WILL SINK IN. THE STORMS AROUND MY HOUSE LATELY ARE NOT JUST STORMS, THEY ARE HURRICANES! BOY DID I HAVE A PITTY PARTY GOING ON! AND THEN IT STRUCK ME, THERE IS A VERSE IN THE BIBLE THAT JESUS'S WILL NEVER PUT MORE BURDENS ON YOU THAT YOU CAN HANDLE, PEOPLE WE HAVE TO BE TESTED, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FLAME, (IN OTHER WORDS SOMETIMES WE NEED TO GO TO BIBLE BOOT CAMP 101!) I KNOW MYSELF THAT YOU CAN GET SO BUSY IN LIFE THAT SOMETIMES THE ONE THAT WANT,S TO HELP YOU SO MUCH AND IS AVAILABLE 24-7, WE IGNORE! THEN WE START HAVING OUR PITTY PARTIES, WHY ME GOD! WELL, HE HAS SENT US THE MANUAL, YOU CAN EVEN GET IT ON TAPE AND DO NOT HAVE TO READ, GOD HAS GIVEN US INTERPRETER'S (OUR PASTORS, )THE OLD WOMAN TO LEAD THE YOUNG! JESUS EVEN PUT A CONCORDANCE IN THE BIBLE BECAUSE HE WANTED US TO BE ABLE TO FIND WHAT WE NEED TO READ THROUGH THAT PATICULR CIRCUMSTANCES! ARE WE BECOMMING WEAK CHRISTIANS! IS YOUR WALK IN JESUS STRONGER BECAUSE OF YOUR STRUGGLE OR ARE YOU THOWING A PITTY PARTY! I HAVE DELT WITH MUCH LATELY, AS MOST OF YOU KNOW MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH BACTERIAL PNUEMONIA! HE HAD A STROKE 5 1/2 YEARS AGO! DID GOD MAKE HIM HAVE TO GO TO THE NURSING HOME, NO!!! WE HAVE DECISIONS IN OUR LIFE THAT ONLY WE CAN MAKE, GOD GAVE US FREE WILL, NOW DO NOT GET ME WRONG, MY HUSBAND IS THE BEST MAN THAT I KNOW, BESIDES JESUS, AND HE IS MY KING! WHAT I AM ALSO ADREEING IN THIS BLOG ANOTHER VERSE, KEEP THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST CLEAN! MY HUSBAND IS A SMOKER, DIAGNOSED WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIBE PULLMONARY DISEASE! HE HAS DIABETES, HE IS OVER WEIGHT, HIGH BLOD PRESSURE OVER WEIGHT! NO, I OVER EAT SO THEREFORE I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! IT IS TIME WE GET PUT OUR BODY'S UNDER SUBMISSON, I HAVE DECIDED THAT I AM, I AM STARTNG TO WALK EVERYDAY TRYING TO EAT A BALANCED MEAL, I HAVE LOST 25 POUDS IN 5 MONTHS! IS IT EASY NO WAY, BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE, GOD DID NOT PROMISE US A ROSE GARDEN, I AM TRYING EVERY DAY TO PICK UP THE BIBLE AND DO A LITTLE BIBLE ON ONE CHAPTER! WAS I DOING THIS BEFORE, BUT QUIT!
