If this is where you have me...

A wise man once told me that I will to stop hanging on and let go. Breath out and let go. That same man also said that we try to save our butts too many times. Instead maybe we should try telling God that "if this is where you have me, this is where I will find my peace." Paul did. He was in chains in the Roman prison! You know what he asked the Philippians to pray for... boldness. He didn't ask them to pray for salvation or a way of escape... he prayed for boldness.He prayed that where he was at, he would be able to preach the gospel with boldness. Wow.

Peter also before he was going to get his head chopped off, fell asleep!!! FELL ASLEEP!! Most of us would be stressing out... but Peter had the peace of God and he fell asleep. So many times we look past the blessing that are right in front of our faces. God has a purpose for your life. Even if you are feeling lame and miserable, or confused, or frustrated, God is using ALL of that to prepare you for your full potential. . . which is a whole nother story.

Paul the Apsotle's secret

You know, Paul is an amazing guy. He really is. He "found the secret to being content in every situation whether hungry or well fed." (Philippians) The last couple months of my life have been all about that. I was not content, I was hungry. What's his secret? Well the one that was pointed out to me was "Do not be anxious for anything but in everything with prayer and supplication." It's a famous one but if you go on it's says that God will give you peace. That's how.
