Blast to the Past.

For weeks now I've been contimplating on taking a walk down memory lane, but God and my mom helped me. They showed me that, I've come a long way and there is nothing to be ashamed of, instead, there is soooooo much to be proud of!



 When I lived in Wilmington, it was different no one knew who I was, where I was from, what I do, and it seemed like a fresh start. I mean look at the pictures, I look extremely happy!

In reality, I was drinking everyday after 12, I was hanging out until 3 am. three or four times a week. I wasn't in a good place in life. I met people who weren't good influence in my life. The picture with the huge body guard, yeah I have no idea what his name is and I just decided to take a picture with him because he let me into a 21 and up bar and I was 19 at the time. I am not ashamed of what I did.









I mean I didn't completely shut Jesus out of my life, but I wasn't living a life to please him. I was going to church, but I was also drinking the night before and after church. I am extremely proud of myself. I learned to chose God first, second, and last because he comes first then the rest will follow. I said it yesterday, I've come a long way. From the person I used to be to the person I am now. I did a lot of stupid and immature things in Wilmington, even before I lived there I've done wrong, but my journey with God is the most challenging, life changing journey ever. I can't believe that I am where I am in life. He deserves so much praise and worship!

There is still so much for me to work on and to better at, but this journey with Christ is the most fulfilling journey.




 




We all have things that we are not so proud of, but when we fall to our knees God will be there to pick you up. I promise, he promised. James 4:10 "Humble yourself before the Lord, and he will lift you up." Make the choice and walk with God, and you will change from the inside out! I know I did.

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 ...
