Facing your fears

I won't rant about why I haven't been blogging, instead I will say what I have been doing.
I have been reaching out to others and letting the word of God be known. An awesome feeling when you can tell someone all the amazing things of our God.

However, today I blog about what it looks like to face your fears. A couple of days ago, my online course assigned an assignment on a very tough topic, something that has a lot of meaning behind it for myself. I remember coming back from the gym, pumped and then I get this mood-killing assignment due on the last day of class. First thing I did was cry because I didn't know how to handle it, I didn't understand why this topic seems to become a reoccurring topic in my life.

The bible says in Philippians 3:13-14 " forgetting what lies behind and reach toward what lies ahead, press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call God in Christ Jesus."

With that being said I never thought that something I leave behind me would keep following me in my future and my walk with Christ. The next thing I did after crying about it, I simply prayed about it with my mom and grandmother. Having people pray for me and over me, just reminds me that God is near I must simply call out to him. The irony of this all was days before the assignment was assigned to me, that same week at church we talked about fears defining our faith. God seems to do this awesome thing where he prepares you for what lays ahead in your life, we must simply listen for it.

When God whispers a promise in one ear, it is the enemy whispering fear in the other. You must chose who you want to listen to. I chose fear the other day, the only thing that fears does is create doubt in your mind and in your heart; we must let our faith conquer all fears because He is greater than all things.


So I don't just want to others, but I want to say to myself as well, facing our fears is simply walking with faith. Listening and believing that God's plans are greater than any attempt the enemy tries to create in our life. Don't look at something you don't believe you can do, but look at God. When you don't who call for, look at God. We must not allow our fears and doubt create disillusionment about the presence of God. God is here, just look at him!

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 ...
