It has been a rough year. For a long time now it seems as though one battle has come after the other. I feel like the raging storms aren't still very often. Even through the highest wave, and the strongest force, God has been fighting the battle for me. Today God has given me a reminder that He is bigger than the "mean giants" of my life. God is crushing those giants and no matter how hard they may try to break me, they can't. My sister referred to me as being like a palm tree. They are tall and flemsy trees that can bend far, but they are strong and no matter how far they bend the cannot be broken. This is metephorphically speaking. I have been bent far and I don't feel like I can bend any further. But I know I have to rely on God's promise to me that He will never give me more than I can bare. I know that God is here with me. The phrase I always say is true. (God's got this.) Though sometimes the enemy causes me to wonder, he still can't destroy me. There have been many people in my life that have tried to discourage me and tell me I'm not good enough or talented enough and many other discouraging words. Maybe you have had the same thing happen to you. You know what we can tell those people that try to knock us down? If we were good enough, we wouldn't need God. But we rely totally on God's strength to walk us through and lead us to what He calls us to do. There is NOTHING impossible with God! Absolutely NOTHING! At the end of the movie, "Facing the Giants," that is the scripture that they quoted. What everyone thought as an impossible situation, became possible through God's mighty power. Even though the this time may be incredibly hard, I can rest assured that God is going to heal me, and the dreams that He planted on my heart are going to become a reality in His time. Even though I have been struck down many times by physical problems, people downing me, laughing at me, and telling me I'm not smart enough, no matter what element the enemy will try to use to destroy me, I can't be destroyed and neither can you. With God's power, ALLTHINGS are possible.

God is Bigger than the Giants
It has been a rough couple of days. Right now I am emotionally and physically exhausted. I sometimes feel like I have nothing left. I don't know if I can hear anymore disapointing news, because I don't know if I can handle it. It has been an emotional roller coaster and there are those moments where I don't feel like riding it anymore. I feel like I'm living my very own movie of "Facing the Giants." Only it has nothing to do with football. I have had many questions that don't feel like they've been answered. I don't know if you want me to write something like this, but I've said this before; when I write a blog, it is honest, sometimes I lay it all out there and most of them I become vulnerable with. But you know that I will also share the lesson learned, and there is a point that is made. For those of you that are new readers, bare with me on this and I do hope you all read this one to the end and will feel encouraged by it.

Here is a song, that I have heard recently and instantly became one of my favorites. Listen to the words, and may the God of hope and all possibilities uplift you today. Remember He's bigger than the giants in your life, and will crush them like a bug. Just keep trusting in Him.
