I Can't Get Over This!

Some things that happen in our life can shake us to our very core, make us question who we are, make us question the Lord, make us have doubts and fears. Those situations push us into the "I can't get over this" stage. I've been there, and I've still got that situation that plays over and over in my mind... thinking I can't get over this... but God. In due time, with the help of Christ and others who truly understand, you learn how to get around it and get through it. Jesus is the One who can change how we see the situation... it makes us seek after Jesus... it makes us desire the Lord more than life... it puts us in a new outlook for life. Those tough situations in life (those unfair situations in life) have truly taught me how to make God my everything. It has made me love and pray deeper for my family, friends, and those not saved. Those "I can't get over this" situations of life... I no longer let them define me, but I have set my feet in a direction to help others for the cause of Christ. I'm reminded of this scripture: “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." • (Colossians 2:6) 

When we trust and believe in Christ, focusing only on Him, we can be confident that He is always ready to help us in all situations; even if you think I can't get over this... He's there to help you get around it or through it and keep on going! 

In Christ,

Walk By Faith, God has a Plan!

If you are struggling with something just know I want to be obedient in sharing this word of encouragement with you. So often when we feel defeated ...we feel like we have no one to turn to. But really, that’s not the case. In all times, turning to God and leaning on your faith in Him can renew your hope that things will turn out alright. We should turn to God when we are grateful, when we are sad, and especially when we feel defeated and discouraged. 2nd Corinthians 5:7 says that “we live (walk) by faith, not by sight.” This is so true. Faith is not something we see, it is something we feel and something we believe in. It's blind faith.. having faith that God has a plan for you when nothing is going right is never easy, but knowing that there is a plan is enough to help you get through anything, especially if you are feeling defeated. This may sound simple, but the Lord says to remind His discouraged ones that He has a plan and lean on that promise!

Unshakeable Faith!

In the throne room of God is where God will meet me (us) with much peace, comfort, and reassurance of His goodness, power, mercy, and love. In the good times or the bad, I focus on Him. I have learned, through much adversity, to trust God completely. In the good seasons and in the bad seasons, God tells me this reminder, "keep your focus completely on Me. When it starts to detour, I'll help you get it back on Me where it needs to be, if you harken your ear to Me and listen. Continue to be still and know that I am God"! He's been so faithful to me. He was reminding me this week of the unshakable faith I've kept during some of the hardest times in my life, because you either trust God completely or your don't; faith and fear can't take up residency at the same time in your heart and mind. Either you're going to allow faith to drive out the fear or fear drive out your faith. And, you can't ride someone else's coat tails when it comes to faith, you must dig into the word of God and grab a hold of that faith for yourself. When I stay in the "throne room of God", it doesn't mean I'm oblivious to what's going on in the world, but it does keep me secure in knowing that despite corruption, chaos, and compromise going on within the world... God is still in control and I do not fear, knowing there is no other God before Him, He changes not, and He still speaks to His sons and daughters. In the throne room of God, let's pray for that unshakeable faith to keep carrying us through! ♡

In Christ,

It Ain't Over Yet!

This has quickly become one of my favorites in 2021, a song called "It ain't over yet", my anthem will you... but my God says wait, it ain't over yet!! ♡

I've experienced God's Hand at work as He has restored the broken pieces in my life and put me back together like I need to be, and where I need to be just this year. He has restored my joy and hope... after 3 years of uncertainty, God finished His behind the scenes work, and put me back in the church where my heart was still at... my heart never left, even though I had too. I've seen Him do the miraculous in the lives of others this year already, when it looked like death was on the horizon. One of my best friend's, mom, shouldn't have survived COVID-19 but she did. The weekend they were going to take her off of life support, is the weekend she woke up and started talking. After 3 months in the hospital + rehab, she made it back home to her family. Additionally, my mom was just a short breath away from a massive heart attack at the end of April, but God divinely stepped in and she had open heart surgery just in time and is doing great. It ain't over, until God says it's over! God is saying 2021 is a year of restoration and healing. Listen to the song, at the link below, and let it bless you.
