"Do or Do not
there is no try"
- Yoda
Good evening Mighty Warriors, I know I have not posted in a while but I really think I need to be more diligent at writing on this blog because my words and my thoughts could help someone.
So tonight's blog is not going to be about reptiles. A lot of you probable thought I was going to right about frogs and there lives. Well take a breath I won't do that to you. So growing up whenever I would be frustrated with something about life, weather that be about school or friends my mom would always say frog. Well I honestly didn't know what she meant. So one day I asked her what it meant little did I know I was about to learn a life lesson. She asked me what do you think it stands for? I had no clue. She said it means Fully Rely On God. She said this one acronym helps me so much whenever I am struggling because it reminds me that I need to give it to God and rely on Him that He is going to take care of me. That night I went to bed and I just kept saying that over and over again but I am going to be honest with you I would say it but I wouldn't fully believe it.
Right now I am going through a season of life that is just very hard and frustrating and I will be honest I have not fully trusted God with this situation. Being diagnosed with many mental illnesses and health issues like seizures I never have really trusted God with that. I go to church and I hear messages and I hear songs in the car that I feel God means for me to hear just at the right time but there are times when I think that I am doing fine and I don't need help well let me be real with you I am always going to need God. I need to trust Him and his will for my life because Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you a hope and a future." I am starting to chew on this verse more and more as I go through these struggles of life. It's not easy and it takes a lot of chewing but thats Gods way of telling me I am here And I will be here through it all. So as God is starting to teach me about trusting him and relying on him I was thinking the key word that i used is I need to try well tonight as I was sitting in my chair pondering all the lectures and advice i have recieve the quote from Yoda came to my mind "Do or Do not there is no try" This quote is a simple lesson in commitment and the power in giving something our all — not just giving it a try. So we may not try to use a force but we need to do the trusting because you either trust Him or you don't. There is no trying to trust. Another thing that yoda says is "you must unlearn what you have learned" and the only way we do that is digging deeper into His word and have faith that will get us to the destination He has called us to. We are not alone ever in life but another quote I read this week was sometimes God puts you in places ALONE, He needs you to realize you do NOT need anybody but Him. Now when i first heard that quote I read it as I need to leave my friends and be a loner. ABSOLUTELY NOT! This is a dark world people on this earth can't be your savior because there not. You may think you need to be with this person or family member to help you get through this but if you can't than go to your Savior the one that we celebrated this last christmas and who walked this earth as a human and suffered a criminals death. He was born for YOU He died for YOU. He loves you so much he died. Trusting God is not an easy thing to do I am not saying its a stroll in the park because it's not I am starting to learn that we need to unlearn what we have learned. Do or Do not there is no try!
I pray you guys have a great week and if you are struggling and need prayer send an email to me and I will write a prayer out for you personally. My email is mightymariah.84@gmail.com.
Blessings,
