117 Days...A Very Special Guest Blog



I do not believe for a moment God puts people in your life by accident.  A few weeks ago, I was given the great honor to preview a book written by a young man who has an incredible God story.  It is his biography, in which he shares the challenges he faced growing up, and how for part of his life he completely turned his back on God.  Even in those times when he didn't believe, you can see seeds being planted.  God miraculously spared his life after a serious auto accident and began to make a change in his heart.  This man, who wasn't even expected to live much less walk, will begin a cross country trek on foot in just a few days to share the message of Christ, coast to coast.

I hope you enjoy the blog, and I encourage you to buy his book.  Please join me in covering Jason with prayer for safety, provision and for God to put people in his path that need to hear his message of hope.
 
Every Step
Jason Truett

How do you beat a Goliath? David did it with stones as the story would go and in his victory he shocked Philistines and Israelites alike. As he spun his sling and released the stone he yelled, “The Lord shall deliver you into my hands!” Pause right there and realize what David yelled…”The Lord shall….”Underline that word “shall,” highlight it, remember it. God didn’t bring David to Goliath…no…he brought Goliath to David. Why? To be stopped, to be slain, to be vanquished, if you will.

Sometimes we plead and beg God to know why He plopped us down in the middle of a storm to face giants. Sometimes we often forget that it is the giants God has brought to face us.  I remember that old saying “If God brings you to it He will bring you through it.” Sometimes it may be to strengthen us and to get us ready but other times it may be to bring this giant down so that others will not have to face it.

God never gives us more than we can handle and I truly believe that. In my book, Every Step, the reader gets a firsthand account of my trials and my journey from atheism to Christianity. The reader will also see how God has gone way before me to prepare the steps ahead. As I wrote the story I got a better understanding of my own life and realized that God was preparing me for something so huge and to slay the upcoming giants that He will deliver into my hands. The biggest thing to remember is that God will always prepare you and guide you and help bring down the giants he has delivered into your hands.

I hope everyone enjoys my book, Every Step, which is now available on: on Amazon
In a few short days from now I will be starting a new journey which will consist of hiking across the country. I will start in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and head 2,800 miles west to San Diego, California. I invite everyone to follow me on my personal website www.supermanfriday.wordpress.com where there will we links to purchase my book and follow me on Facebook as well.

Settling for Less

Hope.  It is a huge little four letter word. Without it we live a life of darkness.  It is the ray of light that is able to pierce through places we cannot see. I am so glad to have the hope of Christ Jesus and his promise of eternal life.  It is so reassuring knowing the suffering and pain we have here on earth will be over, and one day we we will spend eternity in his presence. Even though I know I have this incredible promise, I am so guilty of selling short his ability to work in my day to day life. Friday was a road trip day.  I had the radio off, driving and following the directions of my little google app voice.  It wasn't the Google app automated voice that I heard most clearly.  It was the one who reminded me of the verses above, and how I so often settle for less than he wants for me.  Why?  Because I don't bother to ask. This girl has set some pretty lofty goals for 2016, and I am expecting it to be a year of change.   However, there are other areas of my lif

On a Very Personal Note-Perfect Peace

My blog has been silent for a couple of weeks.  I've spent a lot of time listening, intensely, to the call God placed on my heart more than two years ago.  Until now I have been able to shove it neatly back into that corner, waiting on this huge opportunity for everything to fall perfectly into place as I wanted it to happen. God has called our family to make changes this year.  We started off looking at a relocation, to make things logistically easier.  Instead change has been about awakening our very complacent spiritual souls and reviving the heart of our family.  We have been so guilty of "going through the motions" of life, living by a checklist of what needs to be done, then falling into bed exhausted at the end of the day with nothing left to give. I have been so incredibly blessed with a job that has fed my passionate desire to help people.  Its been an honor to know that every day I worked, I made a difference in the lives of people across our world, a

Isaiah 43:19 (The Message) Forget about what's happened;    don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new.    It's bursting out! Don't you see it? There it is! I'm making a road through the desert,    rivers in the badlands. An opportunity, one that appeared so right it felt like it had been placed in my path.  Yet God closed the door in a way that left me feeling like I forgot to move my hand and left my fingers throbbing in the threshold.  In a matter of hours, someone close to me received a similar opportunity with all the pieces of the puzzle falling into place.  While extremely proud for her great news, something inside hurt deeper.  Discouraged, I opened my devotional guide, and the verses above spoke so vividly to my heart. The last couple of years have seemed the hardest for me physically, spiritually, emotionally.  I'm not saying they haven't been good years, in fact they have been great.
