Life, It has some lamesauce problems.

                           Sometimes having problems in your life is like kayaking.

 Kayaking is stinkin' hard, there, I said it! It takes so much upper body strength, it's almost not funny.

Sometimes in life we're struggling, asking God to help saying, "Why God? Can you please help me!" And he says, in a still small voice, "My dear, I've given you what you need to overcome this, I've given you my Word, my Presence and my Holy Spirit. I will guide you home"

 
Kayaking is so much like this it's not funny! I was struggling to get back to where I needed to be.
But I looked down and realized, "Duh Bekah! You have the stinkin' paddle! You have what you need to get home! Just use what you were given!

Ahh, I love that God gives us reminders like this, it's pretty cool how he works.

And we know that God causes everything to work together^[a] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28

And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” Revelation 21:5

Will I really follow you?

"I will follow you" Such an easily said statement, but so tricky. How many people really follow through with it? In reality, following gets harder as your mind becomes more cluttered. With more and more things taking your time and stressing you out, all the worries of this life, and the "perfectly" scheduled days, do you ever really take the time to sit down, listen, and ask God, "Where are you taking me? Where do you want me to go, I will follow you"?  It's something that's been on my heart lately. Am I letting this world and all it's distractions take away from the relationship I know God wants me to have with him? Am I saying, "Sorry God , I love you, I really do, but I'm a bit busy right now, I'll get to you later." It might hurt a little to think about, but let me encourage you to get off your bum and really, and I mean REALLY..."Follow after God" Well this sums up my heart, in the last few weks, I hope that this may have opened your eyes, or kicked you just hard enough in the bum, to get up, and "Follow" (:
