God didn't lead the Israelites the shortest route to the promised land. He led them the longer way on purpose, because they were not ready for war. Their enemies were stronger, bigger, and more experienced than they were. They would have been defeated easily. He used the uncomfortable time in the wilderness to toughen up the Israelites and prepare them for their destiny. We cannot pray away every uncomfortable situation. God is more interested in changing us than he is in changing our circumstances. He loves us too much to leave us where we are. God uses the tough times to get us prepared for the next level. Our tough times are not happening TO us, but FOR us...they are refining us, growing us up, and preparing us to soar. Embrace where you are...(don't settle for mediocrity) but, enjoy your life while you trust God to direct your steps, and prepare you for your future. You know that you are truly trusting God when you have peace, and are at rest while you are waiting. Trust him. Trust his plan. Don't worry while you're waiting. Do what you can, and trust God to do the rest. Some things you can only learn in the struggle. Your destiny is bigger than you think!! Keep passing the tests!! Stay in faith, even when It's difficult...know that God is in control, directing your steps, and keeping you on on the best plan for your life! #goditrustyou #tellyouwhatiknow #happygirljj#whenyouareatrestyouarepassingthetest #bestillandknowthatheisgod#godsplanissomuchbiggerthanmine #ishallnotbemoved #noworries#goditsallinyourhands #dontfighttheprocess #stayinfaith#closeddoorsareablessing

(I just moved back to NYC November 1st...this was not planned...I just happened to have a show here, and thought it would be a good time to do so...) So, although I know that we are 10 days into my New Year...this is day one of a new chapter in my blog (don't judge me, you don't know my life!) ... if you are new...welcome...fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the ride...I'll bring ya back!
