What is a hurdle? An upright frame that athletes must jump over during a race. To successfully accomplish hurdle racing a runner must have the proper skill and technique. It takes a well thought out plan. Should a runner hit a hurdle there is no penalty. During my times of track I never hurdled but I've been told that if a runner doesn't have the endurance, hurdles will get harder and harder as they come. This is my blog called "My Season of Hurdles".

He says "Be still and know that I am God"
I have a confession to make and I have to be completely honest. I wanted Jaylan to live a full life obviously because any parent wants their child to live a full and prosperous life. But a small part of me wanted her to live just because doctors said she wouldn't and I wanted God to prove them wrong. I know God has more power and I know that not all of the doctors we saw were believers. A part of me kept thinking "show them Lord. Just show them how mighty you really are. Show them that You Are God and you have ALL power". I wanted to go back and say "this was God!" I wanted them to know just who God really IS and to see firsthand what He's capable of because I know without a shadow of a doubt that He could have healed her here on earth. It just wasn't His plan for her. Her healing was in heaven. When she passed I felt sad that some people that did not know God still don't. Forgive me Lord for trying to take over your plan that you had created long before me. Now as God continues to reveal Himself to me I feel Him saying, Oh the day will come when they will know just who I am. I am God. Here I am trying to prove who God really is and here He is saying I got this! He reveals Himself in His own time. He says "Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted in the earth". We don't have to "prove" a thing. He will be exalted. Thank you Lord for making it clear to me that you do not need my help. Lord move me out of the way. Sometimes God just needs us to be still. He doesn't need us to be busybodies. He needs us to just be still and realize the fullness of who He is. I have to say, He's definitely awesome. My God! God is good!
