The Lord directs the steps of the Godly ♡

The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. He delights in every detail of their life.
Psalms 37:23


Are you at a crossroads with trying to make a really tough decision? Have you continously sought the Lord about something to no prevail? Are you fed up with waiting to hear from God on what you should do next?

A few months back I was in South Carolina visiting a friend and her family. I spoke with her brother and sister in law about how I just felt like God wasn't hearing my prayers. I expressed how I was growing weary and needing to make a decision soon on rather to return home or give Texas another year. I also shared with them that I desired belonging, something that I had effortlessly back home.

(This year taught me vulnerability I must admit because I went from being very closed off about my weaknesses to sharing them unashamedly. I guess I just came to a place of surrender, seeking answers and direction from whomever could provide them. Crossroads do that.)

Her siblings encouraged me alot that weekend I was there. Challenged me to trust God and wait for Him but one thing that stood out the most was when her brother said the Lord directs the steps of the Godly. I've heard that verse so many times. Have written it down and memorized it but when I say I instantly felt relief the moment he said it, I did. (It's funny how the word of God hits different in different seasons.)

I struggle with trying to do everything on my own and I often take on other peoples issues and before I know it I'm carrying a burden to heavy for me to carry and more importantly one that wasn't meant for me to carry in the first place. 

The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. That means when we place our faith and trust in God, we are under His complete guidance and control. That means we don't always have to know whats next or fret over what to do next. That means we dont have to carry heavy burdens that weren't meant for us to carry. 

Jesus carries our burdens and is fully capable of doing so. Step by step He is there directing us when we release control and surrender our will for His. There is no need to worry because our lives are in His hands. We don't have to be anxious about anything because He's always with us. He delights in every detail of our lives.

In the beginning we can see how detailed God was when creating Earth. The way He aligned the stars in the sky, the planets and the sun. Our God is a detailed God. He knows every hair on our head and every fiber of our being. This God delights in every detail of our lives. This God loved us so much that He became man to save us from our sin. This God is a God that sits high and looks low. This God knows the beginning to the end. This God is able and capable. 

This God is directing your steps.

The decision you have to make, the prayer that you've prayed continously is not too big or too small for Him. We have a God who is able to orchestrate all things to work together for our good. Take your burdens and lay them at His feet and ask Him to direct your steps. He wants to, He's able to and He's ready to.

Never stop praying.
Never stop going to Him.

Good, grief.

This morning my mom called. She had called me late last night but I was asleep. This morning she called again and I instantly knew something was off. I woke up this morning expecting to have a great day just because I went to bed at a good time the night before and woke up and made a smoothie. I've always hated Mondays, a lot of the worse days of my life or most frustrating days seemed to be on Mondays. Today was no different. I called my mom back and she begin to tell me that my cousin Edward aka "Junior" died last night. Not only did he die but he died in the basement of my Aunts, his mom's house. The same place my other cousin Eric died 5 years ago. They were brothers, Eric was the youngest. I was heartbroken and instantly broke out in tears. Eric was one of my favorite cousins on my mom's side of the family, we shared a love for art. When he died just 8 days after I moved to Dallas, I was devastated. I moved to Dallas on July 7, 2017, and he died on July 15th....

Struggling with discontentment?

Adam and Eve were the first human beings to struggle with discontentment. God already provided all that they needed but He forbid them of just one thing. And that one thing "to be like God" soon became what their "hearts desired" after Satan deceived them. But they were already complete and whole. The devil made them feel like they needed something more, that what they had wasnt enough. So he enticed them to disobey God in the pursuit of wanting to be like God. They were discontent with what they already had, which was already enough. They were living in paradise, amongst God in the garden of Eden and they had one another to experience it with. Seriously, what more could they have asked for? But that's what the devil will do, he will convince you that there is always more to be had, but sometimes the "more" requires us to be disobedient to get and keep it. Discontentment can easily lead to sin, guard your heart diligently and seek the Lord for...

The Real Purpose Driven Life

"I want to know what's my purpose, why am I here?" "What am I being called to do?" Have you ever asked yourself this? We all have at one point or another. We are wired to want to live a purposeful life. We are wired to want to live a satisfying life. But as Believers we are called to live a set-apart life. Not to merely seek after our ambitions but to seek after Christ. Before Christ we wonder what we need to do to make our lives better, but in Christ we should be focused on what we could do to bring glory to God. We exist for God. To bring Him glory and honor and to fulfill His purpose. I dont know about you all, but this gives me rest and peace when anxiety creeps on me. I always thought that I had to do some magnificent thing to bring God glory but really it can simply be me sharing the Gospel with a coworker or donating to a charity or volunteering on a Saturday morning at a charity or spending time with those who are hurting or even just praying for the...
