Life is Hard, We all Need More Grace

Today I want to talk to you about some things that need to be spoken out loud
that people don’t really talk about. So I want to break the ice and bring some
understanding to a conversation that needs to be spoken. The holiday season is
the year that more people are depressed, sad and lonely. But throughout the year
many suffer in silent pain. They have so many things they are facing that
overwhelm them, but they are embarrassed, humiliated and sad, broken and lost,
living in physical pain and fear of the unknown, that they don’t know how to
share this emotional pain with anyone. They want too, but then they don’t feel
they can add anymore of the bad feelings to this mounting pressure of someone
else thinking any less of them than they already are feeling within themselves.
So they suffer in silence until they simply just can’t anymore and many take
their lives. They don’t want to let anyone down, they don’t want to disappoint,
but all they know to do is just take themselves out of the picture. They are
tired, they have worked so hard to stay upbeat and try to stay positive to try
to believe it will get better, to try to cover it up so no one will know. They
are often the ones we think are so strong, and fun. That is what they want to
be, but eventually it all is just too much weight to carry. I want you to know
that you can humble yourself before the Lord and He will hear all of it and not
judge you. He already paid the price for all that and if you will seek Him you
will find Him. He is gracious. We all do go through trials and what seems like
tribulations. And we question why we are having to endure those things, but the
answers and the timing lie in how we respond and what we will learn to make us
stronger. Truth it is not always easy, in fact most times its a big struggle,
but the alternative should never be an option because it is much more trying and
going towards no good resolution. In the next podcast I will have a visitor who
will share how things in his life turned around. He’s twelve years old. Be sure
to come and listen.

Life, it's a Big Faith Journey

Encouraging stories and lessons to lead you to successful destinations along the
path of life. The power of your life is in your words and your thoughts, so
chose them well and give life by thinking and speaking them well of others too.
Be a life giver and a life changer. Let it begin in you. I'm speaking directly
to you regardless of who you are or how old you are, from my heart to yours. My
testimony in this life is faith. When I truly surrendered to God it began with
giving everything I had to him and it was no small task, it was all about having
really big faith, believing Him without a doubt. I had to believe Him for
everything. I challenge you to get out of your comfort zone. As for me I want to
do something so big it's destine to fail without You Lord, something so great
it's gonna take a miracle to do. I want to be like Peter who walked on water! I
hear God saying "Diana, get out of the boat!" For me my faith is all or nothing!
By believing I have nothing to loose so I am all in. "The tongue has the power
of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs
18:21.Which words will you chose? The positive words of life or the negative
words of death? Those negative words that steal, kill and destroy life. The
power of your life is in your words, so speak them well and give life by
speaking them well of others too. Be an encourager.We must not be afraid when it
matters, when it means saving and changing lives we must speak boldly and
sometimes bluntly if we want to make a difference in this world. More often
times than not it takes courage and putting our vulnerability out there to save
a life or two or three. And when evangelist Eva Dooley touched my lips and
prophesied over me she said "You have been silent, but you will be silent no
more" that is exactly what she meant. She's right, I am silent no more. Praise
God! - Diana Hudgins
