Sometimes life gets rough--even for those of us who are Christians--who believe that our God is all powerful. Our frailty and humanness often prevents us from trying to view situations as God does--that everything will ultimately work together for our good. It is hard to watch others receive the answers to their prayers, or receive a major blessing they've been waiting for when you are still waiting for yours. As Christians, we don't like to admit things like these because it makes us seem "ungrateful" or " not Christlike." But feelings and emotions are real and need to be addressed.
When I was growing up, one of the first things my mother taught me about handling a problem or a conflict was to admit that the problem or conflict existed. When you're not real with yourself, you're not being real with God. And that isn't good. He already knows anyway. He wants you to be honest with yourself!!! God is big enough to handle feelings of inadequacy, jealousy, and oh yes, the big one--being mad at Him!!!
So today, whatever problem or conflict you are facing, just get real with God. Let Him know how you feel. Pour out your feelings, the good, bad, and ugly, so that He can put His hands on your situation and heal what is broken--even if it's a broken heart.

- This blog is my gift to you, an opportunity to be uplifted and consider Christ in a different, more powerful way every day-- with some occasional venting (LOL). Live a life that’s pleasing to God. Enjoy every breath, every moment that He gives you to make a difference on your journey to heaven!!!
About the Author
I’m a self-proclaimed do-it-yourselfer! Yes indeed, I’m a self-published Christian fiction author who tackles real-life issues while honoring the perfect holiness of God. I am a radical because Christ, the God I serve, is certainly radical! He broke bread with “undesirables,” flipped over tables, and drove out those who dared to disrespect the temple of God. He understands that we come from different backgrounds and life experiences. That’s why He is still able to convert criminals, prostitutes, adulterers, liars and the like. It is my mission to create works that encompass the values and characteristics of Christ through stories about characters from different walks of life, but centered in the One True God. As a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience, I also try to present issues in my stories that are relevant to the average person, letting them know that they are not alone in their challenges, while hopefully giving them the courage to make changes when necessary. I believe in making life happen instead of waiting on it to happen!
