Living Hope-Debbie Sobeski

Tonight I was invited to Popular Springs ladies night out with Debbie Sobeski as the speaker. I have heard her speak a couple of times but I decided to go cause being in women ministry I always like too see how other churches do things. It's been 9 years since our heavenly Father took Debbie 18yr old daughter home due to a bout of 6months of cancer. The food was great, got some ideas and had a great night with friends oh and got a cute hot chocolate mug...Now what I got most  out of tonight was Debbie message. I have so many people around me that are dealing with love ones who are sick with cancer and others enemy of health. I was not going to take notes but decided to and feel led to share with you.

Psalm 19 The heavens declare the glory of God

Nuggets
The truth of word of God is the truth off all of us, it never change
The word it's either all true or none of it is true
Chase our children with prayers
We are completely helpless without God
Daniel says God is deliver
Job says as long as have breathe we have hope
God is preparing us for our next chapter
Be prepare for the storm before they hit cause when they do it's to hard to build that relationship
When looking for God He won't disappoint you
Thank Him for choosing me even in the hardship and storms
Turn to Him everyday for his strength

It's a journey, a trail but God will bring us though it... As long as we have breathe we have hope!!!!


She went through the hardest thing a parent could go through and that is losing your child.
She is a walking to testimony to me, only God could give her the strength she has. She stood up and told about the chapter in their life with Hannah without a tear in her eye and with a smile on her face. When you have Christ in the center of your life and have a relationship with him and you carry that into a storm with you and don’t let go or blame God then  the love you have for him pour out on others around you to either lead them to Him, to give the spiritual dead a thirst and hunger for Him and give believers hope that as long as there is breathe there is hope (she said this over and over). When you don’t have that relationship with Him and don’t depend on Him when you hit those storms instead of relying on Him to carry you through we tend to rely on ourselves, others, drugs, alcohol, we can grow hard and bitter, jealous of others, and live in a negative life. In Hannah interview and what Debbie share was that Hannah wanted to be in the center of God’s will and if her story change one person life then she was completely at peace at whatever happen. I am sure that she change more than one person life during that time. Debbie, laid on my heart the words that God speaks in the bible don’t worry about tomorrow, he will carry me though,  His grace is sufficient, , He knows my affliction, He has great plans for me and I know that He lives and so do I with Him forever and/but I will never fully understand until I enter the sanctuary with God (Psalm 73)  As much as I know this I need to Know the one who spoke them and I need to relay on Him more than anything else cause even though I am not in a storm right now one day I will be and I need to have that strong relationship with Him so I don’t lose hope and try to get though it on my own and become a person that doesn’t show God strength, so that whatever God will is I will be at peace with it and so I will become a walking testimony for others and if nothing else change 1 person life that is why I want to grow not in my knowledge of God but in my relationship with Him.. I fail daily of spending time with Him and I need to learn to be discipline and make that a top priority every day.  I want to be prepare for that chapter in my life…
