"If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day that nobody died"
This is a popular chorus from one of Nickel Backs top hits. There is a lot of truth in that song. If there was no wrong in the world there would have been no death either. Romans 6:23 tells us that the wages of sin is death. There is sin in the world and yes there is also death in the world, but it doesn't have to end there. As followers of Christ we are looking forward to eternity with Him, but as we wait God is preparing us for just that. The trails and test that we face in life are not really what we would consider good times in our life, but God would beg to differ. Through these time God is refining us and transforming us into new people. He is preparing us to enter eternity. Tranformation is more than a sunday trip to the alter. It is a life long journey to the heart of God. The next time you are going through rough spot in your life stop for a second and and ask God, "What are you wanting to change in me?"

I know this song all to well. I listen to this song and another song called "HOME" by Chris Daughtry every single night in bed on my MP3 player.
When I had my cancer five years ago I was scared and angry. I was scared because of my kids; I was a single mom and I had no one to take care of them fulltime if I did not make it. I was angry because here I just wanted to be a mom to my three children after I was not support to have kids to begin with and on top of losing a set of twin girls at 7 1/2 months pregnant. All I wanted was to be there for them and here I had to deal with two types of cancer at the same time.
I went threw the 2 major surgeries to remove the cancers and died 2 times on the table. A month and a half later, I was released and went home. Within 12 hours I was back in the hospital with the docs saying if I would have waited about an hour or two longer, you would have been died.
So, I guess what I am trying to get to in a long story is, I do ask him everyday. Its for sure that he had or has a plan for me or I would not be here today BUT I know that everyday I have to change something and sometimes I feel I know what it is and sometimes I am not sure and I have to ask him.
Tonight’s Life Group was an eye opener for me and I have to say thank you!
PS. Sorry if I just went on..
