Birthday.

My birthday is tomorrow, which is awesome, a blessing indeed to say that I will be 20 years old. Amazing to know that I got to live on this amazing planet God has created. However, today I wasn't looking this positive at all... Today I was hurting, filled with sorrow because I took a step back and looked at my lie. In what God has called me to do, I guess I am an overachiever or something, but I do not feel like I am following the path that God has set me on. I can make a list of all the things that I am not proud of, but that's not why I blog and that would be silly of me to do. Back to my story, I cried today, I wondered what accomplishments can I create in my 20's.

So I did what God tells you to do when you create worry or become filled with sorrow, I prayed. I got down on my knees praying, I stood with my arms opened praying, and with music playing I continued praying. Until I was filled with the comfort of God's love, and him saying (metaphorically) that everything is OK. After the time I spent worshiping, I got on Tumblr (yes, I have a tumblr still) I decided to look up some cool bible verses to put on my page. God understands me, the way I think and the reassurance that I crave and want from him because I searched bible verses from Philippians. A bunch of beautiful pictures and snips of verses were covering my entire screen.

Philippians 4:13| " I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me."
Philippians 3:13|  " Keep pressing forward." 

But those were awesome and motivating to see, but it wasn't until I saw this that created a wave of comfort, strength, and peace within me.
 
Philippians 1:6 | "For I am sure of this very thing, that the one who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."

Meaning that the work that you are doing is not over, until the day God is back on Earth. This means so much to me because this makes me aware of the work I am doing for God. That I am not idling through the life that I am given. I am telling my story to those who need to hear it, I am inspiring someone with the words that is written. I am loving others the way God tells us to do so. I am so blessed to be called the hands and feet of the Lord. 

How awesome is our God, where he doesn't have to say it, but he can show it. It was God who lead me to this picture. And I know for a fact that he is working something into me. He is calling me to do something amazing. I am not sure what is just yet, but I know whatever it maybe, I must be patient and be ready to do the work that God is calling me to do. He is not finished with me just yet, and tomorrow is the start of another day for me to acknowledge that God has created me to be his hands and feet. I am just overwhelmed by looking at this picture. I have a story that needs to be told, I have a job that God is calling me to do. 

What an awesome God, he heals the sicks, mends the broken-hearts, guide his followers. Our flesh may fail him, but The Lord's love for us never will. I am so proud to glorify the name Jesus Christ, my savior. I am so blessed to get another year to be on this world, to do the work of God. I wouldn't say that I am just a follower of Christ, but I am a daughter of the living God; and I am cherished, adored, and loved by him.

Tomorrow will be a true celebration!

Take a minute.

Life moves fast sometimes, to fast. Sometimes we get to wrapped up in the fast life and we forget the little things. I know I can admit, I become easily distracted by the little things. That little thing can distract me, and can become a big distraction, and that big distraction can cause me to stray away from what I know is best or right. So we must remember to not to get distracted or become overwhelm. Just take a minute to breathe and bask in the beauty, that Jesus Christ has created for us. The other night, as well as, the night before I found myself looking up at the stars, all billion of those beautiful stars and how they light up the sky. Just makes me realize how amazing our God is, for him to place all those stars in the sky and light up the night the way they do is amazing. I just need everyone to look at how amazing the sky looks at night. Just look how amazing the sky looks, although this isn't a picture I took, it's still a picture of God's w...

Jesus, Take the Wheel!!!!!!!

You know that saying people would say "Jesus take the wheel," have you ever thought about what that means. Well I figured I could provide a good example:  Now that you got a good laugh, lets really talk. I remember growing in people would say that saying and I never really understood what it meant. So now that I am older, I use to say "Jesus, take the wheel" I remember saying it when I was stressed out or when a friend of mines was acting inappropriately. When we think of such a saying, we want God to have control because we lack all control. But shouldn't God always be driving the car in your life? And what does that look like when you truly let Jesus drive? For me that means I need to surrender. I am still allowing myself to put other things in God's place. I am driving to a destination that I chose to worship other than God. Simply, I am idolizing something that isn't God. You will always be driving on a never ending road when you chose s...

Simple Things.

I got this Awesome coffee mug yesterday, and I am absolutely obsessed with it. First, it says You are an Amazing Woman . Second, the rim of the mug is Proverbs 31: 29 | " Many Women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." This is such a inspirational mug not because of who said, simply because it's a word of God. Words of confirmation and positivity, ladies if this doesn't lift your spirits in the morning, then I don't know what will. Let's thank God for the simple things like waking up, and getting an awesome mug. God you are an amazing father, you never fail in love for me. And I thank you for that. Thank you for whipping away my sins, for sending your one and only son to die on the cross for me. What an awesome God you are, and you deserve nothing less than the highest praise! I walk into the upcoming week with my eyes directed on you, and knowledge of knowing that everything that will happen through you and for you. You are my Savior Jesus ...
