He Lives and He Answers!

I have been a follower of Jesus for a long time of my life.  I have been through the ups and downs of life and have battled so many of the questions that we all ask ourselves.  The amazing thing about God is he is always there and ready to answer.  The answer isn’t always what we want it to be, but that is because we are trying to tell Jesus what we think is best!! LOL…  That has been my thing for so many years and I see it more clearly now as I am looking for different things in life now.  However, the change is in God’s timing and most of the time for me, that’s just too long.  I can not tell you how many times I ran away from the good God was doing because I didn’t like how it felt.  Emotions are so powerful and for me they guide my decisions.  I am a 1 to 1000 type of person and that has been hard to change, alone that is.  Recently I have been in these spiritual, emotional and relationship battles with God.  The battle is me trying to hold onto what I am comfortable with.  We will hold onto the nastiest of habits or thoughts just because they are familiar.  Well let me tell you, Jesus is ALIVE and no matter the time or place or how many times, He is there for me and for YOU!!  As I rest in his embrace, I am starting to remember again my life is not about me, but about those he places in my life.  This life is meant to be lived to Glorify JESUS!  I will surrender all of who I am to the one and the only true King, My King, My Savior!!  I repent of all my sin, selfishness and anger to Him who paid for it all on cross for me! AMEN!

One Love, One King, All Christ!!

My Anxious Thoughts

God does so many wonderful things for me.  He is constantly in the works around my life.  Yet I seem to always find a way to doubt him.  When I should just be thankful for my next breath.  I made some big steps in my life that I have not done before and, I can tell you, the anxiety that is trying to wrap itself around my neck almost seems unbearable. For the true first time I am giving God this feeling and not allowing it to cut oxygen off to my brain so that my thoughts run free.  Something I learned in being vulnerable is that it sucks!!  However, I do believe on the positive side of it, the change in how I think is not relying on my maturity but in my weakness.  When I come to realize what is offered to me and through me the more I want and desire to trust God.  I just do not like to feel out of control!  I know that is something we are never completely in charge of but that is my delusional thinking, LOL.  Now I have done something that totally places it all in God’s hand and even took a step of acknowledgement in the matter.  There is a fear of rejection and of just plain fear.  Did I? Should I? Could I? When I? are the thoughts that typically bombard me and in all honestly I feel them wanted to drop bombs on me but Christ is there.  He has always been, I just have always been “In Control.”  My prayer I ask for you and me is that we would trust God regardless of how we feel and let him work in our lives to direct us and glorify him.  We should enjoy the fruits of the overflow and HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS! Claim that, Believe that because in the end, My Life is Not about Me,  it is about SERVING and SURRENDERING TO HIM!  Amen!!

One Love, One King, All Christ!

Jesus, I Am Yours and You Are Mine!

There has never been a time in my life where Jesus wasn’t mentioned.  Whether it was as a child by my mom or as an adult from people he placed in my path.  The constant message of his love was that I was HIS.  I can remember the moment I accepted him and then realized there was more to this than just saying the words, I wanted to know.  Mainly, I wanted to know that I truly was His.  The blessings of our life can come in so many ways and when you stop and look at life you realize that he is there for both the good and the bad.  It is how we lean on him that determines the outcome of our situations.  I love the saying “seeing is not believing, but Believing is seeing!”  WOW, those words sink to my heart because I am someone who always tried to handle it on my own.  I sit there and pray about it but already know the direction I am going to take.  Then out of the blue I get a message that says be patient when God is quiet, let him work and trust in his understanding of what you desire.  I love Jesus and want to be growing in deeper love with him every moment.  I encourage you, as I have, to sing praises to Jesus.  My voice is one only Jesus could love but I use it to its max singing,  “Jesus, I Am Yours and You Are Mine!!!”  over and over and over again.  The peace that transcends over my body and soul as I give him the glory is so satisfying and real.  Even to be weak in your Faith gives God a chance to be strong in your life.  He tells us Faith the size of a mustard seed can move Mountains… MOUNTAINS!!  Amen!!

One Love, One King, All Christ!
