Passing the test Part 1

I figured this is an important post for others, as well as, for myself because we are constantly trying to make a passing grade in life in everything we do. For me I know with taking 6 classes I want to make an A all of my classes which can be a challenge, but I know if I give it a hundred percent and try my absolute hardest. I can at least make a B. I'm not saying that I cannot achieve the A in each one of my classes but I am saying that I will give it my all.

We don't just take a test in class, also take a test with everything we do in life. We are always looking for the passing grade. We want to be the most recognized person in a our work place, but we always seem to fall short and receive a B when we are attempting to make an A, or when we want to be the most popular person in our friend group, or wanting to make the most money in our workplace. WE WILL NEVER MAKE THE PASSING GRADE. Instead we are failing because we are making all these things more important the one teacher whose grade actually matters, GOD! 

He asks simple questions when he presents his test to you and that is do you love him? Do you follow him? Have you given your life to him? And are you trusting him with your whole heart? You look at those questions and you say 'yes' to all of them but the real question is are you doing? When we chose to follow Jesus we must commit to the act of living for his glory.

Thinking that you are passing a test with God is easy, but the reality of it is that it will never be easy. You will constantly find something you love more than God, and you will chose to follow something more powerful than God. What are these things: popularity, social media, sex, alcohol, acceptance, and money. So many things that we are putting before God and failing at.

To drive it home, I am not saying that live a life were you make an A place on a test by God because you never will. As a follower of Christ you should always be making B+ and asking yourself "What have I done today to act in the glory of God?" Turning your eyes away from loving other things that isn't God seems to be the hardest thing to do, but if we trust in him then he will provide.

Something that we fail to forget that God provides a means to the end. A way to no way. A healing to the sick. A love to the broken-hearted. A hope to the hopeless. And a salvation to the sinful. Jesus is KING and he will provide.

Philippines 4:19 | "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."

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 ...
