Notes by La'Rue

Sometimes I struggle with writing posts. The struggle is not that I don’t know what to say, but actually believing what God gives me to say. As strange as it may seem, motivating, encouraging, and inspiring, is so easy and natural to me, but only when I do it for others. God speaks and instructs me what to write to uplift you, but then I’m left wondering, “What about me?” Majority, if not all, of what I write applies to and can help my circumstances, but it is extremely hard to believe that it will. That was hard for me to admit, because I was so fearful of being labeled a counterfeit, but more than anything, I want you to know, I’m just like you. I go through long seasons of difficulty, moments of despair, hopelessness, and unbelief. I often question the validity of God’s word, because I sometimes feel that what He says, doesn’t align with my life. In fact, I’m still waiting to receive a lot of things He promised or said would happen for me, even though I wanted to give up a long time ago. No matter how hard I struggle to believe, I still hold on. Whether it be God, or the promises I’m praying for, I don’t know which to attribute it to, honestly. Either way, I continue to have hope, even if it’s just a little.

I’m not perfect, but what I am, is honest. So, even if you don’t believe another word I say, never stop believing in God!

Until next time my NOTE takers!
