I am a 25 year old mother and wife and sometimes life can get overwhelming, challenging, and flat out crazy. I began to get very overwhelmed. I could barely get out of bed to play with Madison b/c my mood was that bad but I would still make it a point to play with her at some point within a day. My husband was spending less time with me and that was also taking a toll on me (he's doing better by the way) I still love my husband he is a Great man but I will honestly say I was being neglected and it hurt me. I don't have many friends and the one's I do have we don't go out or talk as much so to make a long story short I was feeling very neglected, alone, scared, depressed, and so on.
As the days went on I would get in the shower and pray to Jesus b/c I know he listens and he answers prayer!
I GAVE IT TO GOD!
I am doing BETTER I refuse to allow the devil to still my joy, my marriage, and my mind..... I love my family and I know that I am loved but as a child the devil new how to get to me and it was always my mind. I've had a lot going on in my life since I was 3 years old but I always seem to bounce back and that's how I know that God has a plan for my life. I will NOT let the devil win!
God's word says that he will never leave me nor forsake me, so, I know he's with me....
This song really encouraged me.... What A friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear, what a privilege it is to carry. Everything to God in prayer!
I will leave with this scripture....
Isaiah 41:10- Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed. for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand

Lesson Learned......
The other day I was sitting here thinking to myself about how when I use to go through things my first instinct was to pick up the phone and call a friend (most of the time) instead of take it to my father "Jesus"......
Since I was a teenager that's what I did until recently God showed me in the most dramatic way that I must lean on him or nothing will work in my life. He put me in a place where I was stuck; I would lean on ppl trying to get my answer on what to do with certain situations and nothing would ever work.
The reason I'm writing this is b/c we must realize who we can and can not talk too.... There are some ppl who have the love of God and who really want to help you get through certain situations and then there are some ppl who just want to be nosy. I'm going to be real when I say this and most of the ppl that were in my business didn't want to help me they just wanted to be nosy.
You have to be able to discern who is for you and who's not..... God showed me in the worse way possible but he had to do it! I loved God etc. but I was so insecure in myself and not strong enough spiritually to understand that I just needed to be patient and pray!
Being prayerful through ANY situaiton is the most vital thing you can do as a believer. Prayer really does change things.... You have to be consistent and believe that God will do what you ask but he's going to do in his timing and he will work on your behalf.
Pray and take your problems to Jesus and don't give the enemy room by telling your business to nosy ppl..... As believers we have to learn how to take control over our own life and stop letting ppl dictate our future. I learned my lesson as to who I should give my problems too, even though I already knew that he was the first one I should go to my flesh always wanted to hear it from someone else.
I was going through something and through all of what I was going through I finally gave it to Jesus because Man was leading me a stray and my flesh was tired so I gave it to Jesus and he spoke to me as clear as day. From then on I changed who I talked too and now before I decide to even call someone to vent ( by the way it's ok to have a trustworthy person to vent too b/c we all need that) I take it to Jesus and by the time I do get ready to call a friend God already worked it out.
I hate I had to go through that experience but God had to show me he was in charge and he did just that!
