TricaB™ : Happy Friday EVERYONE!!

So, we all know that the football season started last night and of course the men in my life illuminated with excitement. They acted as though they were in the game. Calm down…SERIOUSLY! Not really a football fan, but basketball I do LOVE! Don’t claim to be an expert but I do understand the game. Looking forward to D-Rose making his appearance this season, GO BULLS!! I am the kind of woman that will provide the food, drinks, & sweets for any game and of course cater to my guests. It is hard for me to sit during an entire football game. If the Bears decide to do something this season MAYBE I will consider watching it. However, this was a great excuse to order pizza and relax. This was an opportunity for the family to talk and to catch up on everyone’s events for the week.

While eating I began to reminisce about how AWESOME God is and what he is doing RIGHT NOW. There were some request I had before God and he answered them and I didn’t even realize it. Then all of a sudden my dad looked at me and said “You’re going to be alright, God has worked everything out for your good”. I asked him; “Dad are you being serious or funny because that is so random?” Sometimes I cannot tell because he is so silly! He said “Yes, I am being serious!” Being who I am I had to ask him a million questions because that’s just me! The more he began to talk and explain what God had told him concerning my life it hit me like a ton of bricks. (Light bulb moment!) OH MY GOODNESS! LORD YOU ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28) God has strategized my entire life and turned it into a VICTORY story!

My father has never been the parent that has been nosy or intruded into my life. He would give me the information and then let me decide which way I should go with it. But last night he expressed how concerned he was for me. He also said; “As a parent it is normal to worry about your kids”! I always knew he was concerned but it took me by surprised because I really seen it in his eyes. The eyes are connected to the heart. This really touched me. My Dad has witnessed most if not all of my down falls, pain, grief, sleepless nights, rejections etc. (the list goes on and on )

Right then God began to put an overwhelming amount of peace and joy over me. And the peace of God which passes all understanding. (Phip 4:7) Thank God for his peace because my understandings can be really jacked up sometimes. LOL…!

The things that appear don’t mean anything because I have chosen to walk by Faith. This walk might be scary but just keep on walking... We walk by faith and not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) Those obstacles begin to look smaller and smaller. Now don’t get me wrong there will be days when you experience pure panic and you don’t know what to do. That is when the word of God is ammunition to kill what Satan is trying to make bigger. I believe that Satan will tap- dance all over your situation if there is no word. The word of God is the daily source you need to fight against the wilds of the devil. Satan strategizes too and he knows your weakness, and your strengths. So therefore, you have to use what you know which is the word of God to destroy his plans for your life.

I just wanted to shoot some inspiration into the atmosphere. Be encouraged and know that the Greater one lives on the inside of you! J Take the time to enjoy every moment of the day and be blessed! When in doubt ALWAYS go to the word of the God!
