Rising Up From the Earth Below...Not A Solo Trip

 There is something new and exciting that is currently taking place in my life. Thought-provoking, unknown adventures await me in my walk with Christ. Sounds awesome and I am so ready to go where God is going to lead, there's only one problem; I have no clue what I'm doing! As new Christians, I believe we all feel this way at one point or another. Everything seems to be moving at break-neck speed, and for people like me, this pace does not allow time to completely focus on any one particular area of the journey so I always feel as if I am leaving something out or not completing the task at hand before moving forward.

"This just in; I have received guidance from above!"

I AM NOT TO DO THIS ON MY OWN.

THIS IS NOT A SOLO TRIP!   

 Thank you Dad, teach me how to release control. Read further for instruction, enjoyment, or a good laugh. You never know, this post could be beneficial in your walk too.

"wonder" God

Our God is truly a God of Wonders. It is an awesome feeling to come to the realization that our Father created all that we see, feel, and smell. Everything that is within us; our senses, our physical abilities and disabilities, He is responsible for all. That being said, know that God does not make mistakes. All of our perceived problems come from the natural world in which we currently reside. We have been made in the image of Christ, as the bible tells us in  Genesis 1 …25God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 26Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.…


Any problem that you might have today, just know this; God cares and will not allow you as His child to fall or bear the burden alone. Rest in the knowledge that if we turn to Him in everything, not just when we need something, He will provide. A.W. Tozer states in his book Pursuit of God ” Let us believe God is in all our simple deeds and learn to find Him there.”  When we wake in the morning, put our feet to the floor, know that this is something to be thankful for. During the commute to work or school, give God thanks, and Believe that He is right there with us. We cannot escape the love of our Father, because He is everywhere. His presence is a constant. Whenever you feel alone, you’re not. Begin to take that in, and receive God’s unending love, mercy, and grace.


Everyday smile, shine that light that Dad gave us. It is in all of us, but just like a flashlight we have to switch it on. Remember, we are heirs to a kingdom where there is no pain, your social status does not matter; we all stand on equal ground and are one in the body of Christ. God bless each and everyone of you.

Take the time each day to thank God for all He has done for you, and then lift someone else up.  Find inspiration by being an inspiration.

Blessings in Disguise...Through a Cat Eyes

Blessings come in many forms. The cat you see in this blog is one of many unexpected gifts from God that I am thankful for. There are those of you out there that are not fans of the furry little felines. I was in your camp, that is, until Patches came into my life. His entrance came just at the right time. I have always considered these creatures to be more of a pest instead of a pet. The impression I had of cats was this; they shed hair easily, they're nosy, those claws can do some damage, and well, a bit on the snobbish side. They only want the attention when it benefits them, and at no other time will they be bothered with the humans. Well, I was in for a lesson and a blessing. This was all thanks to God who knows exactly what we need, when we need it, and I believe He might even get a little enjoyment out of surprising us with the unexpected.

Search...Just Make Sure You Look In the Right Place

   
Do you ever feel overwhelmed? In today's society there is way too much information. In order to find something it is as easy as picking up your phone and using one of the many platforms available to search. The answers are quick to come and they are many. Since the progression of social media, I find myself constantly on my phone scanning through Facebook, tweeting on Twitter, stumbling on Stumbleupon, 1+ on Google, or blogging on Blogger. That was tiresome just typing all of that. Its no wonder that our concentration level is so minute, and it probably attributes to the term everyone is so quick to use when trying to accomplish many things at once; multitasking. All of this is great stuff. We have become so technologically advanced that it is easy to lose sight of what really matters; GOD! So, slow down for a minute, take a deep breath, and try to overlook the fact that you are reading this through one of the SOCMED sights I am referring to in this blog, oops. No, I am not being hypocritical, just using a medium for the Glory of Yahweh.
