This last weekend I went to a Dnow at a local church and the first night the preacher spoke from Jonah. Now I grew up on church and the story of Jonah is the story everyone knows, but this preacher opened my eyes to a whole new meaning of Jonah's story. I remember when hearing the story of Jonah thinking " man I would never do that" , but I realized that I do exactly what Jonah did every single day. I think that my plan is better than God's, I think that God doesn't know best all the time. Instead of doing what the bible says I follow the world because it's convenient. Jonah disobeyed God because his mission seemed impossible; and I do that everyday, I don't honor my parents or I lie or say something mean. The story of Jonah shows us how if we follow God's plan we could skip the heart ache and be could live the amazing life God had planned for us. God has the perfect plan for us and if we follow him we can live a fulfilling and joyful life. 

Hey guys! Well it's been a month at least since I have posted, January has been been full of ups and downs. My main focus this month has been trust. Trusting God in every moment of everyday. Trusting him with things go perfect or go terribly wrong; knowing that I don't have to worry about what I do or anything because I know whatever happens God has a reason. When people come or people leave God has a plan, it has really lifted a weight from my shoulders now that I don't have to worry about my future and college and relationships. Knowing that God is in control is the best feeling ever. Pslam 20:24 says, "A persons's steps are directed by The Lord How can anyone understand their own way?" God knows you and the best for you, he has already planned your steps so trust in him and he will give you peace. Something that helps me when I get worried or stressed I whisper in my mind or out loud "I trust you God" and the more I say it life becomes more and more  peaceful.
