"Finding Hope in God: How to Stay Positive in Desperate Times"

Updated: May 27



Hi, Good morning . Throughout all of life, the truth is,

WE REALLY ARE DESPERATE FOR GOD ALL THE TIME, whether we realize it or not.


What happens is we start on our life journey all by ourselves and try to find out our soul’s direction. Are we just pushed around in life, or is there a real direction? Why do we have to become older to realize we need a higher power, GOD, just being politically correct, ha ha. I"am not sorry.


I came to God in college, I wasn't looking for him. He was looking for me, like he is pursuing YOU.


Did anyone ever talk to you about “God”? I think it takes our humanness about 5 times to get this message to our human brains. Our hearts cry out for peace and significance which only He can give.


What is life about? Is it just getting ahead, making money? Is it forging on, only to once again lose everything we worked for? Then what.?????


Hopefully, of course, during hard times where do we turn? God or another space to fill our emptiness? Don’t be deceived, God is never mocked. We may look in different places, but only God in Jesus Christ (who brought us forgiveness of our sins and mistakes) can fill our emptiness and give our lives meaning. He is the true living God who can live in us when we receive this gift of loving forgiveness. This relationship will fill our lives with satisfying purpose.


Believe me, when The real God comes in, He cleans out our lives, washing us in the blood of JESUS, and that is when we come alive and true healing begins.


Psalm 27.4 This verse has been life changing for me. We all wish to be whole.


“ONE THING I ASK FROM THE LORD, THAT WILL I SEEK AFTER: THAT I MAY DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE, TO GAZE UPON THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD AND TO INQUIRE IN HIS TEMPLE.”


I KNOW THAT IF YOU DON"T KNOW GOD THIS MAY SEEM FOREIGN TO YOU.

BUT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK UP AND SEEK GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART.

ITS LIFE CHANGING TO HAVE THE POWER OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE .


IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE TO BE IN TROUBLE TO REACH OUT TO GOD: ME TOO. DURING GOOD TIMES WE WALK LIGHTLY IN THE WORLD, DOING OUR OWN THING ; TROUBLE COMES:

WE LOOK UP AND CRY OUT: I DID IN COLLEGE. GOD WAS LOOKING FOR ME AND HE KNEW THAT I LIKED BLONDE HAIR BOYS. SO HE ATTRACTED ME TO A BOY AND HE SAID TO ME, OK LETS GO OUT SUNDAY, BUT I GO TO CHURCH. I WILL PICK YOU UP ON MY MOTORCYCLE. I WAS FEARLESS THEN.

I WAS JUST INTERESTED IN THE BOY NOT CHURCH, BUT GOD WAS LEANING ON MY HEART BEFORE, HE APPEARED.

A GIRL FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD SAW ME ON CAMPUS AND I TOLD HER THAT I WAS GETTING MY LIFE TOGETHER .

GUESS WHAT SHE SAID TO ME >>>>>>>>>


BEFORE, YOU CAN GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER YOU MUST YOU MUST ,YOU MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … KNOW JESUS.


WHAT WHO, WHO IS THAT GOD? BELIEVE ME I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT. SO, SHE GAVE ME SOMETHING TO READ AND I WENT ON MY MERRY WAY. ROLLER SKATING ALL OVER CAMPUS. I HAD TO GET MY EXERCISE IN.

THROUGH THE DAYS I READ THAT LITTLE BOOK (Bible) AND

NOTHING REALLY HAPPENED, BUT I SAID TO MY SELF IF THIS BOOK IS TRUE AND I DON’T BELIEVE OR AT LEAST TRY, I MAY LOOSE HELP AND BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE.


DID I WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT GOD IN MY LIFE? NO, BUT I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND ALL THIS … BELIEVING IN JESUS FOR WHAT? I’M PRETTY GOOD ALL THE TIME, JUST GOING ABOUT MY LIFE, IN COLLEGE. I'M A GOOD PERSON, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I AM NOT GOING TO HEAVEN.


THEN GOD SHOWED ME THE TRUTH, I WENT TO FLORIDA WITH MY OLD BOYFRIEND HA HA. JUST FOR THE RIDE BUT WE GOT TOGETHER DURING THE TRIP. I LOVE FLORIDA AND HOT WEATHER.

WELL LONG STORY, HE LEFT ME THERE ALONE AND WAS WITH ANOTHER GIRL. I WAS LOCKED OUT, ALONE, THINKING I HAD LOVE, I WANTED TO DIE .

I was SO MESSED UP AND ALL ALONE. THEN I WHEN INTO A SAUNA AND TURNED UP THE HEAT AND I JUST WANTED TO DIE. NO ONE LOVES ME (NOT TRUE).


“IN SIDE OF ME GOD SAID “I LOVE YOU FROM THE BEGINNING, YOU ARE WORTHY”

“IN SIDE OF ME GOD SAID “I LOVE YOU FROM THE BEGINNING, YOU ARE WORTHY”


I GOT MYSELF UP AND KNOCKED ON THE DOOR, HE LEFT WITH THE OTHER GIRL AND I WAS LEFT ALONE. SO I WATCHED EASTER MOVIES. WHILE WATCHING THESE MOVIES, I SAW GOD’S FORGIVENESS. IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF GOD MOVING IN MY HEART. BOY, I WAS SO BLIND TO GOD’S LOVE.


GOT HOME, YES HE DID DRIVE ME BACK.


WHEN I GOT BACK I MET ANOTHER BOY WITH BLONDE HAIR AND HE SAID LETS GO ON A DATE TO CHURCH. THEN AT MONTCLAIR COLLEGE NJ, THE PASTER SAID DOES ANYONE WISH TO RECEIVE CHRIST TODAY? I STOOD UP AND SAID YES, YES, YES AND I RAN FORWARD.


YES, GUESS WHAT I NEVER SAW THAT BLONDE HAIR MESSENGER AGAIN HE WAS GONE FROM MY LIFE .

GOD DIDN’T WANT ME TO HANG ONTO A MAN, JUST GOD.

IT WAS A WILD RIDE. GOD CARRIED ME IN HIS HANDS FOR MONTHS.


ITS WAS A WILD RIDE AND GOD CARRIED ME:

THAT DAY AFTER CHURCH THERE WAS A PINIC AND ALL I WANTED TO DO IS RUN THREW THE WOODS.


I WISHED TO BE LIKE THE WHITE ROCK GIRL CLEAN ON THE ROCK ALL IN WHITE HOW COULD ME A SINNER A BOY SEEKER BE CLEANED, BY JESUS BLOOD ON THE CROSS?


HE TOOK ALL MY SINS PAST AND FUTURE.


I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING. BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE I WAS CLEAN AND HEALED. I HAVE A NEW DIRECTION. PRAISE GOD!


I HOPE YOU CAN RECEIVE THIS. I AM NOT A WRITER BUT GOD WANTED ME TO TELL MY STORY OF FINDING LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACE

JOHN. 3:16.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOUD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.


ETERNAL LIFE. THAT’S FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God found me, He is looking for you. Just come for forgiveness.
