A God of Second Chances

No matter what God chooses to do in my life I never question it. When you are faithful to God, he gives you a second chance… thank YOU God for mine. Often times we fail to realize that God is doing thing for our good, we may not understand them but he does. On August 15, 2018,we gave birth to our second child together. When I found out I was pregnant, I immediately heard God speak to me and tell me that it was time. After the loss of our baby girl, nothing could stop me from getting closer to God, and I am so glad that I did. Have you ever done something wrong the first time around and promised yourself that if the time came again you would get it right? This is the way I felt with my faith and loyalty towards God. Before baby boy Bryson, my faith was not strong enough, LORD, there were holes all through it. I doubted my faith when it came to our baby girl, and I failed the test. Yes, I learned my lesson!!! Never again!!!!

On November 22, my baby boy had to undergo surgery to remove blood from his brain. God said “Ok, here is another test.” Did I worry? NO. Because I knew that God was in control and I knew that he would make all WELL, which is more than I could say when I was in my previous storm. And yes, our baby boy came through it!! Oh my God!!! He became a soldier in God’s army at 3 months old!!!! It's almost Christmas, and we have the greatest gift EVER!!!!

I took a lot from my situation and I am still learning so much about life and God as I am writing this now. One thing for sure is that I learned that his word will not return void because he will not leave me nor forsake me. No matter what you go through always remember that weapons will form.. but they won't prosper. When turmoil sets in, ask yourself these three questions:

How strong is your faith?

The Bible says you only need faith the size of a mustard seed. WOW!!! How small is that? It’s less than the amount of energy that you would spend worrying about the situation instead of praying about it. As you grow in life, your faith levels should increase. There should be less room for worry and more room for praying. If you don't believe that prayer chances things, I am here as a witness. Your story, your testimony, should show the same.

Who is in your corner?

You learn how big your support system is, which includes the number of people that will pray WITH you!!! And no.... not those curious to see whether you will survive, but those that KNOW you will. There is a big difference between those that will pray for you than those that will prey on you.

What do I need eliminate from your life?

There will be things that you do not have room for any more, like negativity vibes and negative people, disbelief, and even doubt. Your path will change because you will realize that you are on a different journey. Yes, things will become uncomfortable because that is where your change process begins. Nothing grows in comfort zones!!!!

Has God given you a second chance at anything?
