Live In An Unbound World
This is the Althea Jones' Sandbox.
Sometimes you may think I built a sandcastle to be envied. Sometimes you may think it is pile of dirt. Feel free to visit my sandbox, regularly, and see what I made.
Let's just say that my parents never worried about what I was doing. I would tell them everything, whether they wanted to know or not.

I was going through my email and found a delivery that was misdirected. It was actually a series of emails to guide someone to write the below paragraph. I cleaned up the text but the content remained the same.
Introduction:
Struggling -what a difficult word. Hebrews 12:4 speaks of the “struggle against sin.” I feel so inadequate because God has to forgive me of the same sins over and over again. Why am I still struggling? God offers to lift our burdens, and has pardoned our offenses; so is there more that He needs to do or is this one on us? Is there something I need to change? Or should I just pray, and hopefully God will handle it?
God wants us to throw all of our troubles, hurts & weaknesses on Him, whether they are big or small. Small issues will likely grow into big painful problems.
“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalms 55:22
He is able and is waiting to heal, uplift, and strengthen you. He loves you unconditionally and wants to see you free from your past or present abuses, struggles and limitations; but we have to work hand in hand with Him by taking responsibility, adjusting our mindset/behavior and leaving the rest to Him trusting that he is able.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.“
John 16:33
