A's Happiness Blogs

  As we begin a New Year, let us not start out the New Year making resolutions that we are not going to keep.  As children of God, let us look to him for the things we need in life.  We need to trust in God and make sure we lean on him.  As Moses had to remind the children of Israel and Joshua in Deuteronomy 3l: “And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8 God will always be with us. No matter what this new year will bring in our lives, God is always going to be with us.  He will show us what he has for our lives in his time. He will never leave us alone. He is always there for  us.  He knows what this year is going to have for us before we do, so we have to have faith and trust that whatever this year is going to bring, that he will Always give us the strength to endure it! God bless and have a Happy New Year!

  Recently, a situation happened that left me at a loss for words. I was shocked when it was told to me, and I began to get sad. But as I was sitting in my car, I immediately went into prayer, because I knew that me being sad would not do a thing. I needed strength to get through what was going on.   As I went on about my day, I kept hearing the word “trust.”   Trust? Why was this word placed on my heart?   So, I went and looked up the meaning of trust.  The meaning of trust is “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.”   “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5&6)   Truly trust in the Lord it means that you have the firm belief In Gods ability to help us though out our lives and that Gods strength is way better than your own.    It was important for me to get to the point of ...
