Life in His Hand

  thegypsymama.com  Join us in writing for 5 unedited minutes on different topics each week. Open If you walk around with tightly closed fists, you are not allowing God to use you. Maybe your fists are closed around your plan for your life or around your hopes for the future. But we should always have open hands to receive blessings from God and as we receive we shouldn't close our hands, but leave them open so the blessings can flow out to others. We become a channel of His blessings to those around us. Maybe it doesn't always seem like God is blessing and maybe we want to close our hands to keep from receiving the hard things, the trials. But some of the best blessings come through trials.

Five Minute Friday With The Gypsymama I am writing on a new topic each week, for five minutes, without editing. So here goes. Sometimes in order to grow one must experience pain. if you are caught in a behavoir that you cannot free yourself from, it starts to become uncomfortable. Guilt. Then you realize you must make a change or you will destroy yourself and possibly all those you love. This is when it gets hard. You have to say no. War with your nature. Look away, turn away, cut your hand off. pluck your eye out. It hurts to grow. But it is good and necesary. If you don't grow you die. Shrivel up and blow away in the wind.

On Fridays I will be writing for five minutes - no editing - on different topics every week.

I didn't ever expect to be a Christian in the first place. i was into heavy-metal, and lived a life without God. When i finally found Him or vice-versa, it was a totally unexpected surprise. He surprises me constantly. With His love... overwhelming. The hope He gives me. The gifts he's given. The fulfillment. I now have a life that I didn't think was possible. Where dreams do come true, where love is true.
