The Story God Wrote For Me

When I was somewhere between 17-20ish years old, I was at a church and there was an anointed young man that was so full of God that I was in awe. Struggling internally myself, I would pray God if I could just be like "him" one day, I just want to be anointed and live for God 110% without fear of rejection and be able to stand firm. I want that kind of anointing. What a prayer. I didn't know what I was asking... You see I only saw the current anointing and I failed to realize there was a pressing of the oil. When he lost his sister, I didn't see his pain until I lost my brother and then I caught a glipse of what he might have gone through. We want a "give it to me now" anointing but we fail to realize there are circumstances and pain that cause that person to turn to God more fully when things get hard and tough. There are trials that almost break them. There are things taken away that break their heart. There are things and people walked away from. There i

A dog who wants attention and is demanding to be shown love can be overwhelming and annoying. Same goes for people. You don't have to fight to be loved, stop chasing the wrong people hoping for something and wait for God to direct your steps. Maybe you are being rejected because you place yourself in places you were never suppose to be.... Brilliant thoughts from a friend

  You can hold on to anger, of course it makes you feel alive, it was created for a temporary purpose not long term. Or you can see anger is a secondary emotion and deal with it. Hurt =past Frustration=current Fear= future Find the root and pull it up, don't get stuck in a rut just cause you fell in the dirt, get up

The field was flattened, roots pulled up, hot and hard soil was left, but my God came with tender hands He healed, shaped and now here comes the harvest. It won't yield bad fruit but new fruit from a healing vine that goes back to Him.

My Jesus defines me. My identity is IN Him. Created, formed and designed, He knows me. Why would I let the world put their labels on me? My Jesus is all I need.

I planted a lot of seeds, thanks to our landlady for providing me with everything I needed. I was gone last week and when I got back I noticed things I had overlooked before, like how much growth had occurred in my absence and how some weren't growing. It rained the week I was gone so nobody had to water or tend them in my absense. Tuesday, I pulled weeds, cut grass and I pulled out the no growth ones and used their soil to transport the "babies" to a bigger pot. We are called to throw seeds of the gospel, some grow and some don't. Sometimes we may be inclined to keep pouring water on something that isn't even growing just because we can't see in real time and we really do want to help. Sometimes in our absence they grow more by heavenly rain than our water hose. Sometimes we need to walk away and focus more on the ones wanting to grow more. Sometimes we might just be drowning them in doctrine and they don't even know what to do. And sometimes we may be wa

Ever felt like you are at a brick wall or you don't know what to do next? Sometimes you gotta get away, get some people to pray with you and talk it through with you. So thankful for this week. I feel so refreshed and I still have a few more days to go.
