A bit of weariness...

on this Wednesday. My mind has been rather unsettled this week. God gave me a strong conviction this past weekend to make a real change in my life. Time to clean house, so to speak, and now is the time. So with that said, I have been in one way grieving and have been in prayer. Not that I have to give things up or change things, but rather it's time to improve on my relationship with Christ & release the poisons that still seem to have a stronghold on me. No one said change was easy, but I know that I can overcome.

So I have put my 2 weeks notice in at the resteraunt that I have been working at part time for the past year. Working p/t was neccessary at the time, but I know that my time has ended there. I need to trust God for the provision of that little bit of extra money needed. I know that He will provide for all our needs.

So that's one area that I am working on. The next is my health. I have been really run down lately. I know that I have not been eating right & I know that I am not drinking enough water, or excercising like I need to. That is also about to change. I am excited about the changes I am getting ready to make in the next week & I am sure that I will feel better in no time.

Lastly I have been convicted to read more scripture. To really get to know God's heart & His will. I know that I have been slack in the area of reading and praying. I want nothing more than to be close to Jesus & know the peace that only He can give me. I just want to be used to glorify Him in all areas of my life. I know that it's much harder than I'd like it to be, but then again nothing good and right is ever easy.

So that is where I'm at right now in my life. I started this blog on Wednesday & I'm finishing it up on Thursday. I wanted to just share what God is doing in my life & I pray that it may help you too.


~Peace & Blessings~

When you ask...

Jesus to use you, be ready! I knew when I completely surrendered my life to Christ that it would be a challenge and not easy. (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin. I honestly thought that I had no comfort zone, but it seems that every time I get "comfortable", God changes the direction in which I am going or He intercedes personally by allowing me to encounter a life that is going through a struggle, and it "interferes" with "my life". So I have come to the understanding I will never be comfortable, and I am becoming OK with that. I have also come to realize that if I am in a state of being comfortable, then I am not growing spiritually. (Psalm 119:2) Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart Last night during Bible study as we were going over the passage in Ephesians 4,...

Discipline In Discipleship

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is easy. We learn at a young age that Jesus is knocking at our hearts and is asking to enter in. We sing songs of God's love. We so very quickly accept God's forgiveness when we sin. We can justify our actions through Jesus loving us as we are. Following Jesus as Master and Teacher is hard. Again, we learn at a young age that the world is a cold, cruel place. We view hatred on TV and social media. To forgive when we have been wronged is almost impossible. To put another person's needs before ours is practically unheard of. To understand someone else's actions takes too much effort. Jesus never said being a follower would be easy. As a matter of fact, he said that it would be a narrow road that few would be able to travel. "S o in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,   for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to...

Inside Outside

Why do we view sins as not so bad, bad, and really bad? I have been thinking a lot about this over the past week. Isn't sin, sin? Are we to judge as God judges? God's word says; "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23 My sins, and they are many, are not better or worse than yours or your neighbors - or anyone else's for that matter. So who are we to pass judgement on another? Why spew contentment and hate when we know what another person's sin is? Isn't God's forgiveness and love for them just as much as it is for us? There is no "them" and "us" in the eyes of God so we need to stop dividing people up into these two categories. " Dear friends, let us love one another,  for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.   This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son  into the wor...
