I have had to learn to hand everything to God and let him be in total control of everything. I seem to struggle daily with letting go of everyday stresses with bills, money, school stress from parents and students, and just LIFE and trying to get ahead. I have handed over everything to God and am perfectly content with my family, job, and LIFE! I found this article in which someone else had posted. It should inspire others to strengthen their relationship with God. The Article is below:
Justin and I got in a conversation about Tebow and sports as it plays a big role in our Life. I was telling Justin that I had read an article the other day talking about the game where Tebow wore the eye patches that read John 3:16, there were 92 milion people around the world googled the verse, bible, and Tebow on the internet. I had mixed feeling of being overwhelmed with sadness and joy! My sadness came from thinking that 92 million people didn't know what John 3:16 says ("For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that who ever believes in him should not parish but have everlasting life"). Then this overwhelming feeling of JOY and HAPPINESS filled my heart to think that Tebow had such an effect on others to share the word of God! What a testimony he has already shared but continues to share with us daily!
Justin mentioned that he and other coaches at work had talked about how sports is something extracurricular that God probally doesn't care a lot about, winning football games sure doesn't matter! As Justin continued to talk he said that other coaches agreed that Tebow has taken a stand for Christ and he has been able to witness to millions. Anyone that knows what has been going on in the NFL know that the Broncos haven't wanted Tebow to start and he has been catching all kind of negative comments. However, Justin was mentioning that he hasn't been playing awesome but in the end he always seems to get the job done! We have both agreed that Tebow takes his time out of every minute he gets to glorify God. We feel that God is making Tebow an example! There is all kind of adversity when you are a faithful Christian, however, in the end all that matters is that the glory and praise go to God! Tebow is a wonderful example of a faithful Christian. He doesn't let the fame and other NFL players steer him off track!!
I found the perfect verse that fits perfect for this situation and with some of the struggles that I find us in at times. "The blessing of the Lord makes one rich.... "-Proverbs 10:22 We are blessed beyond measure and couldnt ask for anything more other than a stronger relationship with our Lord and Savior! Just felt inspired to share! Makes me feel like I am Tim Tebow and there will be millions affected by this post ;)
Love it! :)
