Lost sheep

I feel like a lost sheep...i only allow myself to be in God's guidance when ever I am in distress. Isn't it so unfair when we only remember God when we need Him?

I am again, going through a tough time and yes I found myself asking for God's help. I think of myself as a very selfish human being.

It was new year, not a happy new year after all. Finding your husband cheating on you, then hurting you verbally, physically, emotionally whatelse can be tougher than that?

I lost it, I left the house with my kids and told myself we'll go on our own way without thinking what will happen to my kids. I got 3 kids of my own and a step son by the way. We stayed on a hotel for 2 days (my money was just sure enough for the 2 days). I tried asking for help from friends and relatives but there was no provision. I was left with the decision to go back home, I didn't want my kids to suffer hunger and being homeless, besides my kids (eldest and stepson) are still going to school.

When we went back it was not easy, I confronted my husband about his cheating and it worsen everything. I thought I totally lost him with what happened. He beat me hard but it did not let me back down and give up my family over a girl whom he just met months ago. I stood for my kids, took back my pride and ask him to start over again, he did agree.

Everyday since January 4, 2013 i cry myself to sleep because i am hurting so much that I know my husband despite the fact he agreed to fix it is still talking to the girl. And thinking that I cannot argue about it as I made a promise i will let him be with the things he wanted to do and he will in turn make us happy and let this family stay together.

Can i complain? The answer is no, I chose this path, I agreed on it, so I should accept it as it is.

All I have to do now is to trust in HIM...

Trusting God Is Good for Your Health by Rick Warren

“I said to myself, ‘Relax, because the LORD takes care of you.’” (Psalm 116:7 NCV) God has given you the gift of your body, and it comes with an owner’s manual — the Bible. In it are all the instructions you need to take care of yourself and live a long life. You already know the basics: proper nutrition, exercise, a good night’s rest. Today I want to look at the first of four health factors you may not have thought of for living long and well. Trusting God is good for your health. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5 NIV). Why is trusting in God good for your health? Because when you trust him, you don’t worry. Psalm 116:7 says, “I said to myself, ‘Relax, because the LORD is going to take care of you’” (NCV). If you really trust in God, you’re going to be less stressed. The Bible says in Proverbs 14:30, “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones” (NIV). It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life. You have a choice: You can either worry or worship. You can either pray or panic. The more you pray, the less you’ll panic. Relax, because God will take care of you!
