Life is hard sometimes. But I've come to learn and believe that God will never give us more than we can bear. Through this blog, I'm going to share the "golden nuggets" of my family.

What are "golden nuggets," you ask? Well, I once had a discipler that would make me share something good or encouraging that God has shown me in His word or done for me during the week. Think of it as a treasure hunter sifting for gold from the sand.

As a teen, my life seemed to be filled with many troubles, but when I took the time to search for those golden nuggets, I came to realize that they weren't that hard to find.


If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; If you remove unrighteousness far from your tent, and place your gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks, then the Almighty will be your gold and choice silver to you. For then you will delight in the Almighty, and lift up your face to God. You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; and you will pay your vows. You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways. When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence and the humble person He will save. He will deliver one who is not innocent, and he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands. Job 22:23-30

God is great

I'm still trying to get a hang of this whole blog thing. Whenever I see other people's blogs, it gets me inspired to work on mine. But anyway, this past weekend was so great. Mike Canham taught on a topic that we needed to hear, Christian Liberties. There was a lot that he taught on. I have a big ol' packet to prove it. But the one thing that stuck out to me was that in order for me to have a true conviction, I need to find a chapter and verse to back it up. Otherwise, it's just something I feel strongly about. And you know, feelings can vary from person to person. So, it's my goal to find chapters and verses for my convictions.

I titled this post God is great because He is. He's been teaching me that He is in control, He wants what's best for me, and that He loves me more than I can ever imagine. What a comfort that I can cling on to the promises of the One who created this universe.
