"For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
I just want to take the time to encourage someone today. Regardless of what you are going through I want you to know that God is still in control. He's still able. He still heals. He still delivers. He still provides. He still guides. No matter what it may look like you will make it through. He knows everything and will be with you till the end. He's still on the throne. He's always listening to the voice of His children. Nothing catches Him by surprise. Nothing. How great it is to have a Father that is ever present and that never leaves. This year has been a year of spiritual growth for me. Wow. Like I honestly cannot believe where I'm at now compared to where I was 6 months ago. He is definitely working within me. Constantly turning me on the potter's wheel. Even when I don't feel like anything has changed within me spiritually, I soon find out that He's been working behind the scenes. So keep reading the Word, keep praying, keep fasting, keep praising, keep seeking. Don't worry about someone else's walk. Please don't compare yourself to someone else!! Just don't. I've been there and it only breeds discontentment and jealousy. I've had to learn that my journey is mine and your journey is yours. It's like running in a marathon for the first time. As long as you cross that finish line who cares what place you come in? You completed the race that was set before you. You conquered it. Yeah you got tired, but you didn't quit. Quitting would mean you forfeited everything. This walk is the same way. We'll get tired and grow weary, but we can't stop. We may not can run at the moment, but walking is fine. Why? Because you're stillmoving forward. Don't ever give up. You are more than a conqueror!!
I also want to encourage you to read Romans Chapter 8 in your quiet time.
Love you and praying for you! *watch the video at the bottom*
2 Corinthians 10 verse 4-5 " 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." Philippians 3 verse 12-14 12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it,[d] but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Romans 12 verse 2 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Hello everyone!! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I wasn't really able to celebrate until the next day, but nevertheless I enjoyed it. It all started kind of rocky seeing as how my back passenger tire basically unraveled as I was driving home from work the evening before Thanksgiving. I wasn't scared because I know how to change a tire AND because I knew that God was with me, but I just wanted someone physically there with me....for like support I guess you could say. Welp, the thing is I don't have anybody to depend on besides my parents and they live 45 minutes away from where I was located beside the road. Would they have came to help? Absolutely, but it was dark and I wasn't about to call them about a flat tire! So I just kind of sat there for a few minutes and wondered who I could call. I was led to call my friend from work. She just so happened to be leaving when I called her and she came right on out there to where I was at. We changed the tire and went on about our way. When I say "we" I really mean her because all I did was jack the car up and operate the flash light on my phone. She moves quicker. lol. My 32 birthday was on the 29th of November. I had to work and I was sick so I didn't do anything. It wasn't a big celebrated day, but I was thankful to be blessed with another year. I attended my first ever Christian concert featuring Kari Jobe about two weeks ago. It was absolutely amazing!!! I didn't want it to end. I'm looking for different things engage in, but I really like the arts. I'm not a planner...AT ALL, but I'm going to have to start planning out more things to do because work, home, and church gets boring. Today is the 1st day of the last 31 days of the year. What are you going to do in this last month of 2016?
