I just wanted to write a very short blog to sincerely thank you all for all of your support and love! I have recieved so many comments and messages from my blogs from so many people that has honestly blown me away in being of awe of how many people God has blessed me with. I am in awe of all the people that God has blessed me with to love me, support me, and carry me in prayer through this journey. It truly means so much to me and I just want to say thank you!
Also for all of you who are worrying about me like my Mother, Grandma, and Betty! Please know that I am doing good and that I am happy! Some days you have ups and some you have downs. It's a journey that I am on and that we are all on. Sometimes the sun is shining down on you and your on a mountain topswith the sun shining in your face and other times your climbing up the mountain with the rain blowing in your face. There are different stages and seasons of the journey, just like there are differenent seasons in a year, and stages in life!
I always want to be real with you all and show you where I am in internally and what God is doing within me! I hope it encourages you and inspires you! Know that God is always with me, even in the hard times, just as He is with you! He will always get me through whatever I am going through and I know that He will always be with me. He is my Hope and the true light in the midst of all darkness! He is always there and when I forget that He is there I know friends and family like you will remind me!
As my Grandmother reminded me tonight on Skype:
"Be Strong and be Courageous, do not be terrified or discouraged, for the Lord YOUR God will be with you whever you go." – Joshua 1:9
If God is for us, who can be against us? – Nothing will seperate us from the Love of Jesus Christ!
Romans 8:31-39
More Than Conquerors
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[a]
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Here is a song that has really inspired me the past couple of days and two video's that I recorded just for you to show you how much you all mean to me!
God Bless you and thank you!
Your friend and brother in Christ, Ryan
