The Difference Maker.

So in life we test things: We test to see if people are lying. We test our dogs to see if they will listen. We test ourselves in general. So who tests us? God test our obedience to him. When we hear the word Obey, we some time put negative connotations with the word. However, that is not what God expresses in his word. First, lets examine the word obey, to comply with or follow the commands, restrictions, wishes, or instructions of (dictionary.com). When I was looking up obey the first thing that jumped out to me was the synonym for the word: submission.      This is such a great meaning and understanding of the word, submission. Submitting ourselves to the Lord even when we do not understand what he is doing.    John 14:15 | " If you love me, you will obey what I command."  I wish I could of read this verse before this past weekend because I didn't understand anything that he was doing with me. Today, I realize it's not if I under...

I usually get on my blog, find words that God puts on my heart and share them with anyone who reads. However, I have been struggling with what is on my heart. This time I am writing as a seeker,  seeking answers from God. Yesterday played out in a funny way, I get an email from this blog subscription I follow on youtube, and it is titled "How do I talk to God? How does God talk to me?" I find this to be extremely ironic because... I had one many conversations with God yesterday. Some were asking for guidance, thanking him for the new day, asking for favor of the coming week, but others were of anger and disappointment. How does that all happen in one day? How can I become so mad and angry at him? I know I shouldn't but I did. I find this all extremely ironic, like he was preparing me for a test today because in the morning I did come a cross a bible verse today that stood out and I probably read more than five times. James 4:7 | "So submit to God. But resist...

A couple weekends ago, I went on a Leadership retreat and I was so blessed to be apart of something bigger than myself. While on this retreat I got a couple of pictures of God. The presents of the Lord was with us. So since I had such an amazing weekend, I was inspired. There's a camp song that we sing: "My God is so BIG, so strong and so mighty. There's nothing my God can not do." I just want to point out first, how my God is so Big! He was there that  weekend and he is here now.  Jeremiah 29:13 | "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart"   He shines so bright! Especially, when we seek you with all our heart

Today's post is a short one, but no worries, I will be posting something about my weekend later on this week.  I really wanted to post this video I watched a couple days ago. This really had me thinking about the power of prayer. Who's prayers are you answering ?

So I haven't been posting in the last couple weeks, I think I have been in an on going battle with the plans God has set for me.  Sometimes I tend to look at the now and the current state that my life is in... Not saying it's bad but the state of finally creating all achievements for myself and watching them fall apart. I tend to daydream of what my life was, and sometimes I miss it. I get sad and let the negativity settle in.  Does that ever happen to you?  Usually when that happens I think to myself God knew my plans before I was born, and he knows the path that my life is moving in.  Jeremiah 1:5 |  "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." I always try to look towards God when I feel like I fall short of him. I don't want to fall short or disappoint him, but then I realize satan creates those feelings. I refuse to be blind-sighted by the work of the Devil....
