I Have Questions

I have so many questions in my head right now. I am not understanding a few things that I have seen and that I have heard. How many times have we all experienced this in our lives. I often think of two phrases from my goddaughters (their mother has given me permission to quote them) that I find myself saying out loud. They are "It's ALWAYS ME" and "It's Not My Fault".

First one: It's always me. Yes it is. Why is it always me? There are other people that can do it and say it and live it and breathe it. Why am I the go to? Will someone else please stand up and the MVP, the VIP, be something...please. The reason why it is always you can be found in John 15:16(NCV)
"You did not choose me; I chose you. And I gave you this work: to go and produce fruit, fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you anything you ask in my name." It's always you because you have been chosen to produce fruit. You gotta work because there is something in you that the world needs. There is your answer.

Second one: It's not my fault. I know it's not sweet thing. Unfortunately a lot of us are wilderness babies dealing with Egyptian issues that the ones before us refused to handle. It's unfortunate that we are wearing burdens and generational issues that they won't even discuss with us. Now we have to deal with that along with our own personal issues. And because we are dealing with their issues (not our fault) we are fighting like hell not to do to our kids (future for those who don't have them) what was done to us. This is why we are going to be alright. Joshua 1:9(NCV) "Remember that I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don't be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you everywhere you go." Be strong. Be brave. Remember, the wilderness children were free not in bondage. Don't let their bondage hold you back. You are not responsible for their issues and you can't save everybody.

There are so many other questions I can ask and I have asked. But my God always has a reassuring answer. Be encourage.

One Love,
Fredrika

No Strength 2 Color

They say broken crayons still color but what do you do when you don't have the strength to paint a better picture. What is all of your energy is gone? What do you do then? You look for a solution because what is familiar is no longer working. People seem to think that you have it all together and in reality God has fixed it where you have to completely trust Him and it seems that everything is falling apart. I am here to encourage us today. We aren't going always going to be in this position. I believe that God has to do something because we have done all we can do and nothing is happening.  The harder the press the greater the oil. We have to be crushed so we can be used by God not people. (Catch it) In this season, don't let any person take advantage of you. It's okay to say no. Do not let them guilt trip you. Gather the strength to color even if you don't see the frame yet. It's not a puzzle but the pieces are slowly coming together. I have n...

When You Don't Understand

2018 was full of loss. Some of us lost loved ones, we lost our hope, our drive, our passion. It seemed like every single time we took steps to make progress life came and knocked the hell out of us. And it made me angry. I didn't understand why it seems like things kept going left when we were doing right. Why did people go ghost in the midst of a heartbreaking year? I let my anger affect the things that I was doing and I honestly didn't care anymore. Why should I extend myself when no one else was willing to do the same. I still served, I was there for others, I went to work, and I was angry. Truth be told I am still processing my anger. It didn't seem fair. It still doesn't seem fair. I don't need to be told anything deep or profound. I just need an understanding. I know that there are five stages of grief. I know that I can talk to God about anything. Have you ever done that and not received a response? Have you ever read the word for comfort and when you...

Are you bearing fruit?

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name." -John 15:16(NIV) Chosen to bear fruit. A reason your prayers may not be answered is because you are not bearing fruit. Are you sharing Jesus with others besides the ones who are in your circle? When was the last time you told a complete stranger something that could change their life? Like Jesus loves them, have a blessed day or week, etc. Do they see your light or do they see your dilemmas?  Things to consider. Stop avoiding strangers and start bearing fruit.
