I'm so taking note! <div><br /><div>✏️ 3 accidents - 3 children alive and well </div><div>✏️ 1 totaled car - 1 young adult taking his first step of independence </div><div>✏️ Stressful mission trips & youth camps - purposeful kingdom work </div><div>✏️ Part of my heart moving to North Dakota - 1 young adult exploring the country </div><div>✏️ Years of no confidence in my writing - opportunities from the Lord to claim it differently </div><div>✏️ 10 years of pre-cancerous colon polyps - first year of clean colon </div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>God has been so good even if it didn't feel like it! Some days can be tough and the outlook looks grim. We can let our emotions grip our hearts and cloud our minds and then we miss where God was in it all and the blessings that can come out of it. Take some time to look for God in your circumstances trust me when I say we are the ones blocking it - blocking our blessings, blocking God's plan and blocking His purpose with our emotions, thoughts and lies. Let it rest in Him! He has a big enough shoulder to cry on, a big enough back to carry it and a big enough heart to change it! ❤️</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibHBxQi99QoOuVPQEw1fomDKHLy9igdSoNKJcZ898yHiG1vl9tyNX14StSEtWfhZldqhV-FFXBRguMczZpMk-Hq8-29W4jIRKmsfYXFJ7gDayVZYVJJC6nccPnKL6wmr7GWPpMCEJR7im0qSfYDYNx6JBR8sld5dF9x8PaVorB166rs7CrVma8xims7g/s2048/297881386_10222173409631154_5741783825413140119_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibHBxQi99QoOuVPQEw1fomDKHLy9igdSoNKJcZ898yHiG1vl9tyNX14StSEtWfhZldqhV-FFXBRguMczZpMk-Hq8-29W4jIRKmsfYXFJ7gDayVZYVJJC6nccPnKL6wmr7GWPpMCEJR7im0qSfYDYNx6JBR8sld5dF9x8PaVorB166rs7CrVma8xims7g/s320/297881386_10222173409631154_5741783825413140119_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /></div>Michelle Gautreauxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01072375487193218774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516184858292329237.post-83854284015383768222022-06-07T09:04:00.002-07:002022-08-22T09:24:19.884-07:00It is in the Delivery<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The delivery of your message can mean the difference between someone's salvation or someone's spiritual death.

I don't believe there is a single person in Southern Louisiana that is not experiencing trauma right now. We are all grieving a loss right now in many different ways. Some are grieving loved ones, homes, businesses and just plain ol' life. I can remember my grandpa saying in the good old days and then would continue with what it was like. So why do the good ol' days not exist. Trauma. Something traumatic <span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">happened and caused things to change. Let's just say we as humans don't adjust to change very well. Yet, that is because we are human, not perfect. We are learning everyday; that is if we allow ourselves to be teachable. That is not to say we bend for everything, but we should bend for God's will.</span><p></p><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">It is difficult letting go of something we might have clung to for many years.

I am usually a glass overflowing gal. I am usually the one providing positive scriptures and quotes, unicorns, rainbows, milk shakes and cotton candy filled days. Yet lately, I can't say I've been that person. Shamefully, I rutted out, sat in my trench and waited out for the war to be over. In the beginning of all this, I was out sun up to sun down helping others, doing what we could then I began to handle things on my own end. I was in a sea of denial about my own circumstances. I was really trying to avoid what I truly had to face. The end of one thing to be the beginning of something else. So yes, Rise & Gouaux might not exist the way we wanted it to, but I am anxiously awaiting what the Lord has planned next.

My pastor preached on Sunday about basically where are you positioned.

Have I been positioned in every situation properly - no but I get back up and try again. I think it is important to be real about your struggles, your concerns and be <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span>honest with the Lord (cuz let's be real you can't really hide from him - that's like trying to hide you didn't break your diet but gained 10 lbs) also being honest with others doesn't hurt either but it is all in how you are positioned doing so. If you are positioned not following the Lord you might handle things in haste, in anger or resentment. But if you are positioned following the Lord you will handle these honest conversations with grace, mercy and love. A lot of progress is made that way!</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">I love that 2020-21 brought out the creative side in people. It caused people to get creative in the way they communicate, work and celebrate. I am humbled by watching the Lord work on so many hearts this last year and joyful over the mountains he continues to move for us. He has never left us, but sometimes we leave Him and place Him outside our boat. I am guilty of it at times I will admit that. Being honest with ourselves about what we struggle with is just as important.

The branches were unable to hold my ornaments and they bent to the floor with some even breaking. I started to remove the ornaments from the branches that couldn't sustain the weight and realized that our branches on our tree were much like our arms trying to carry our own burdens. We carry around so much weight that we don't even realize it is what weighs us down, <span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">holds us back and breaks us. The weight of your problems, your circumstances and sometimes even the world is too much for one person to carry much like the weight of my ornaments was too much for one tree. But when we take off the burdens we are carrying and leave them at the foot of the cross, our "branches" lift and we praise God because His yolk is so much lighter. So whatever burdens you might be carrying this holiday, leave them at the cross, lift your arms up and praise Him for He is good!</span><p></p><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Our praise and prayers lift us, so this year we decided as a family to decorate our tree with prayers for those who are experiencing burdens. Truly lifting our branches on our tree with prayers to the Lord. If you have something you would like for us to be in prayer for either comment, message me or slip it under my door of Rise & Gouaux!

Sports, extracurricular clubs and organizations, ring night, homecoming ... and so much more. All because of policies that make no sense and are inconsistent compared to other parishes and states. The mental well being of these children is just as important. And if you tell me it won't matter to them in 10 years or that these are not the things that truly matter - I will say to you this: </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">tell your 14 year old self that it didn't matter. Tell the child that can't wait to possibly run in the Olympics it doesn't matter, tell the child that wants to play in an orchestra it doesn't matter, tell the child that wants to act in a Broadway play it doesn't matter, tell the child with hopes of becoming everything they have worked for most of their lives it doesn't matter. And you can say I might be reaching for the stars in these dreams for these kids, but why should we limit them. In limiting them, we limit God. And I ain't boxing that man up. (I learned my lesson on that one </span><span class="fxk3tzhb b2rh1bv3 gh55jysx m8h3af8h ewco64xe kjdc1dyq ms56khn7 bq6c9xl4 eohcrkr5 akh3l2rg" style="display: inline-flex; font-family: inherit; height: 16px; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle; width: 16px;"><img alt="🤣" height="16" referrerpolicy="origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t52/1/16/1f923.png" style="border: 0px;" width="16" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">)</span></span></p><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">There have always been people who seek beyond what they might be capable of and reach for the stars - pioneers of their generation. While some feel that they have to settle for the status quo and are satisfied with whatever is made available to their generation.</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">In the bible there is a man named Enoch. In Genesis 5:24 it says "Enoch walked with God; and he was not; for God took him." </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">This quite possibly might seem simple and not such a great and achievable reaching for the stars thing. Yet, stay with me - many at that time were not walking with God and walking with God seemed so far out of reach. God had walked with Adam many years before, but since then no one else. After the fall, men had only the promise of death, the earth was filled with violence and the ungodliness of men was a filthy stench. There were no churches in every village, no saviour yet who had died for the sins of men and saints of God were almost unheard of. Yet in the midst of this, Enoch believed that he could reach beyond the limitations of his generation and walk with God. </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Hebrews 11:5 says that Enoch pleased God. It also says that he was a man of faith and by his faith he would not see death. This was something unheard of at that time. Yet Enoch reached for something and worked toward it to attain it and it pleased God.</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">We have to know that God's promises are on the other side the bridge. But if we stay where we are and never responsibly cross the bridge, we will never truly please God. What are His promises in your life? What does He have planned for you? Cross the bridge people, cross the bridge!</div></div>Michelle Gautreauxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01072375487193218774noreply@blogger.com0
