Today I will talk about tests. No not the ones you get in school. It is about the one God gives you in life to test your faith in him.
In my life I have a lot of test. Lots long ago I didn't pass and now the ones I have. God tests your faith in everything. From the littlest bad things in life from the biggest.
To me the biggest is facing death. Two years ago on March 19 2006 I faced death becasue I had two huge (that's what the doctor said) blood clots in the lungs. Over 50% of the people die from this. I knew then God's not done with me yet.
I said a simple prayer when they had me in the CT scaner. I said "God my life is in your hands." That is true. It always has been if I liked it or not and it will always will be.
That time was a test of my faith. I pray I passed. That is it we don't know if we passed or not until we get to heaven up by God and face judgement from God. We will all do that. 
Tests in life could be something small or for those who live in places like China. They face death and imprisonment for themselves and there families for believe in God Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That is why this olympics in Bajing this year because of that. I'm boycotting it. I hope through this blog that other beleivers in God Jesus and The Holy Spirit will do the same. We need to do this for our brothers and sisters in Christ in China.
God loves all of you. He wants you to pass the test he puts in frount of you. He is pulling for you to pass. 
Both me and my Mom went through two tests last year. My Mom was looking for a job for 4 years and it was getting down to the point where we where almost homeless. She got a interview for this great job. He was suppost to call back the next day but he didn't I lost it. I prayed to God to help us more close to screaming it and why is he not giving her this job.
The next day she got a call from the job. She was told she got the job. That had me eating crow. I was ashamed for what I said and the way I asked.
It says so many times in the bible not to fear or worry. Luke 12: 29, 31 says "So do not obe overyly concerned about what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not worry about it. Instead pursue God's kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well." Another is Philippians 4:6 says "Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everyting. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." Another is Luke 12:22-23Than he (Jesus) said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, don't worry about your life what you will eat or about the body what y ou will wear. For life is more than food and the body more than clothing." One last one is Matthew 8:34 "So don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's troubles is enough for today."
Worry we should not. If we got rid of all worry there would be no anxiety disorders. Millions have anxiety disorders. I have anxiety disorders. My Mom has anxiety disorders. If we lean on God a lot more than we are the anxiety we wouldn't have this problem. I am a work in progress by God and will be for the rest of my life.
Then there was the other test that in 2007. Our cat Baby died on October 22, 2007 from brain cancer. This was more than a cat this was a family memeber. I cried so many times.
The thing was my Mom was thinking I was going to have a breakdown. I did not. I delt it with the best I can including God in it all the way. No blameing God or anyting. I pray I passed. I wont know until I get to heaven. Then I can see Baby again and be with her and God forever in heaven. That will be a great day.
The in March of 2008 Mom supried me by wanting to get me a very eary Birthday present of a cat. We looked at different spots even at her job and at our local shelter we found this mostly white cat with a little bit of orange cat. His name was Harrison but I changed it to Pooky because he was so cute. The funny thing is he was born on October 19, 2007. God had this planed out from the begining.
On September 6th, 2008 another test hit. Our cat Blackie died. To me she didn't die of her physical illnesses (a fever, enlarged heart & a blood clot) she died from a broken heart. She was depressed after Baby died. She even lost 2 pounds in a year. Blackie was my at home PTSD cat. She would calm me down at night after a nightmare and was there to bring me back after a flashback. I needed a replacement.
We had to move on but it just killed me. We got Odie the next week. Then in October I got a knock at our door. It was our neighbor downstares wondering if we wanted another cat. We didn't need one we had two already but somehow he came into our home. The first night he slept on my pillow. The second night I had a nightmare from my PTSD and he was there to calm me down.
I still wanted this cat to go. He reminded me too much of Blackie. That brought up too much pain. Mom said no and he camed into my heart. Now I am training him to be a service cat for my PTSD. He has all the PTSD training down but basic training is all he needs. I named him Little G meaning Little Garfield. So now I have Pooky Odie and Little G. God has blessed me with a replacement for Blackie. He took over where Blackie left off.
Keep God in your heart, mind & soul no matter how crazy or bad it gets. Hold onto God and don't let go. Never let go.
I know things are hard for someone right now in this world. I just pray someone sees this blog during those times. Just know God loves you always. He comforts you in all of your troubles and pain. It says so in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 "All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the source of every mercey and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others."
God loves you. If you don't know God Jesus and The Holy Spirit and that Jesus died on the Cross for our sins and 3 days later rose again. Also confess your sins and turn away from them. That don't mean we never sin again. FAR FROM IT! We are not perfect on this earth! Only Jesus was! If after reading this you beleive please pray this prayer:
Lord I'm a sinner. You died for me on the cross and I believe 3 days later you rose again to be at the right hand of God. I also beleive in God the Father,the Holy Spirit, let the Holy Spirit come in me. Use me oh Lord. I want to be your hands and feet. I love you and want to know you more. In your son Jesus' Holy name, AMEN!
GOD BLESS DURING YOUR TESTS IN LIFE!!!
