'Cos I'm sticking with you...

"Nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.

Death can't, life can't.

The angels can't and rulers can't.

Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean—Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

A verse I know so well, but mix it with fresh revelation of what that statement actually means and WOW!

Just weigh up that verse.

It's incredible! I can't 'escape' God's love and I don't want to! There are always times where we just feel that life is getting on top of us, but no matter how big my problems get, no matter the battles I face I can't be separated from God! I just think that is amazing!

In death I can still know God's love and in life too, not even the powers of hell and darkness and evil can separate me! No power is enough to separate me from my beautiful, holy, majestic, heavenly Father and God. How amazing is it-that a God so great will never let me go and that nothing can ever break that bond. Nothing.

No matter what is thrown at you and no matter how tough it all gets read that verse with faith and let it bring peace and joy to your heart.

It may not be an eloquent blog, but it's full of heart!

Our Future in God's Hands...

So today I finally completed my application form for the course I want to do next year. I feel surprisingly calm and at peace about it all. As I sent it off I will admit that I said a quick prayer, but it is so good to know that God has my future in His hands.

I don't have to worry about how bad the personal statement might have been or how long the reference takes to come through, because I totally trust in Him. If all this falls through I know that He knows what is going to happen and although I will feel completely lost He'll organise something that is potentially better for me. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have an author to my life. If I wrote my own story, my own life would have far more mistakes than it already has had and overall let's face it I wouldn't be as happy as I am.

What safer hands to be in then that of the Creator of the universe?!

So it's time to loosen up, let it go and trust in God. My future is His.
