All Things Work Together for Good

Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

I know my blogging probably seems that it is focused on life events of mine but I do that for a purpose. I'm human just like the rest of you and I have things in my life that maybe would help another in theirs so if I can be a help through writing about it, I want God to us that.

 The other day I had someone ask me, "So how does it feel to be a Pastors wife?" Hum..... feel no different than being a teacher, or cook to be honest. My reply to her was, "Well, honestly no different than I felt before." Really the only difference from one day as not being a Pastors wife to the next day as Pastors wife was only the title.

Now if I was asked, "What do you think about it?' or What's it like?" then I could answer maybe. Honestly though I see the change in our ministry as what God worked together for our lives. A few days ago we were back home in WV for our sons Graduation from High School, we are very proud of him and Praise the Lord that in his life, all things worked together for good to Paul who loves God!



Today I spoke to one of my "moms" yes one, I require several. *laughing I shared some things with her that had affected me and she shared her heart with me. Through her and her husband God showed me that all things work together for good. In my head I knew it, but now in my heart it is really settled. Can I help the situation, not really;but as my husband Preached on Sunday morning I can only fix ME not you, or the neighbor, or the mail man, I can ONLY fix ME! So rather than trying to fix everyone around you, focus on Yourself! God will take care of the others!

God knows what we need when we need it as well as who needs to be in our lives and when. We serve a MIGHTY God!!

In verse 35 of the same chapter it reads, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine or nakedness, or peril, or sword?"

So friend it really doesn't matter NOTHING can separate you from the Love of Christ!
Tribulation ~ yea we have them but NOTHING will separate us from God's Love.
Distress ~ Yep, but why should I distress when I have the Love of Christ.
Persecution ~ Christians all through the ages have been persecuted, BUT NOTHING separated them from God's love.
Famine ~ we in 2013 don't see a lot of this however even if we did have a famine NOTHING would separate us from His love.
I think you all get the idea, For God so LOVED the World that He GAVE His ONLY begotten Son that whosoever believeth in me should not perish but have everlasting life!!! See NOTHING can separate us from God's love!!

So yes, I don't understand some things, but that understanding may not been meant for me right now just as my mom who shared her thoughts with me said. When we talked earlier she had wanted to share some things, but God didn't allow her. Then when I needed it today, God allowed her to share those things. So God works ALL things together for his good, and yes for our good!

So as you go through your evening/day remember Romans 8:28 and 35
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God....
Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ?....
