Monday Again

Wow, life huh?
I logged into blogger today amazed that a week had gone by already. I can't believe how fast our lives persist in being so evident that you wake up in the morning, saying "what day is today?" Right? I'm not the only one who has done it I'm sure.
This past week has been a quiet one, and naturally I am enjoying it. Knowing that my trial may come soon, I am sunbathing in the Glory that is God this week. Sometimes I feel like I missed days, and last week seemed like it came and went faster than I wanted it to. My weekly activities are many, but I pray often that God will not forget me in the midst of my good times. This may seem strange to some, but I often ask God not to forget me, praying that trials may come my way so that I may be reminded of just how wonderful He is in my life. May I never forget.
I think once you start to get into a routine, and everything is fine and great, you run the risk of going without God in your day to day. Bold I know, but I personally have a tendency to spend less time talking to God when times are at their best. Talking to Him, but not as diligently as when trials are upon me. So, believe it or not, I thank God for the trials because it focuses me on what HE can do, and my relationship with Him as well.
I mean, how often do you praise Him when things are going wrong? Hey, how often do you praise Him when things are going right?? I constantly remind myself that it is God who owns my body, my soul- and without Him, I simply do NOT exist. Listen, He does wondrous things when we devote our selves to His relationship. It's true, I've seen it time and time again. We just have to hold on, and count on Him, knowing that like the True Father He is, He is looking to be there for us, looking to save us from the many things we find our self getting into.
With that said, I can't begin to formulate words that tell you how God has been to me, or even the Love I have for Christ, I just know that He is worth dying for, fighting for, and most importantly living my life here on earth for. It's not easy but great is your reward if you continue in this race, for scripture tells us:

Matthew 7:13-
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Lord willing, I will be searching for that narrow way all the days of my life. May we seek to find it always, and savor the journey it takes to arrive there!
Have a blessed day!
