I'm not finished with you yet.... These words resound in my head. I heard a testimony on Sunday where a guy kept hearing God say those words to him, even when the man was finished with himself. I so dearly love those words because their often heard in the midst of hard times. Recently I've been struggling with the thoughts that perhaps I'm not doing enough or being enough. Is Jersey really where I'm supposed to be and if so, for how long? I've made some poor choices and I'm probably harder on myself than anyone else (typical) so do those choices effect God's plan for me here. How gracious and loving is He?
About a week ago, I broke down crying in my room. I cried out " Lord, I'm lost and have no clue. Its been forever since I've been at this place and I don't like it:" His response?? " I'm not finished with you yet Isha. I love you and I know where you are. You've been in my hands the whole time"
Question is? Is God ever finished with us? Does He ever give up hope for us? I look at families around me who have children that have strayed away and they never lose hope or stop praying for their kids. Whether their kids change or not, they keep faith. I believe that God is the same way, never giving up. Jesus is up there, praying and interceding on our behalf. He is never done loving us or believing in us.

Some people may believe that death is when God says "now I am finished" But I believe quite the opposite. Sometimes He uses death to bring about the fruit of the harvest. I look at my friend Kyler who, even in death, is impacting lives and through his family, is bringing about change.
So if you've ever felt like God has given up on you or that you're not worthy of anything, I urge you to reconsider your thought process. You are loved and even in the depths of your despair God is saying, "I'm not finished yet."
