It is All by God's Grace

In God’s will, is our peace. This explains and confirms mine. Though I still have work to do, the pressure of many asking “how are you going to fix this” and “how are you going to take care of that”, still resonates. Please hear this…I am not going to fix, take care of, or fulfill anything. Don’t you see, it is impossible for ME to do ANY of this.  My circumstances have gone way beyond my control. The only thing I must choose to do is trust my father in heaven. His plan for me is GOOD and “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me” Psalm 138:8.

He Wants Us To Know Him

In the last 30 days or so, I've discovered that when it came to doing the wrong thing, I rarely hesitated.  I knew when I was doing something wrong, but I went in "having faith" that God would make my situation better. That's jacked up, I know. So why is it when it comes to doing the right thing; not sinful, immoral, unethical or non biblical, do I hesitate? I understand it's easier to give in to rebellion than to choose the path of righteousness, but over the last month and a half, I've found myself asking God repeatedly, whether or not this call my spirit pulls me towards, is what he really wants for me. I still move forward, but it's as if I'm taking baby steps, not fully allowing myself to put my heart into it, because I'm terrified of making the wrong decision again.

Until He's All You Have

The first #MissionTobyMac teaser was a clip of my cousin sharing her heart about my new journey. The one thing she said that stood out most to me, was that no matter what happens, "life will be different in 30 days". On the eve of day 41, I reflected on the events of those 30 days and felt that she was right. Life was different alright, for the worse! Not exactly what I had envisioned. Thoughts of everything bad rolled in my head like a 14lb bowling ball coming at me with a hard and unforgiving curve. Today, day 42, I awoke with a new outlook. This journey has been bitter sweet, but I really want to marvel in these current circumstances because I know they are what's changing my life for the better.

Renew Your Mind

I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. He will never leave me, nor forsake me. Everything my hands touch, turns to blessed. He who trusts in him will never be put to shame. I may walk through fire but will not be singed. The Lord will provide for ALL of my needs according to HIS riches and glory. Do not worry about what you will eat or drink, do not worry about what you'll wear. No weapon formed against me shall prosper...
