My Desire is to Inspire | Christian Blog

It's been a longggggg time since I've blogged but I'm back! (: So much has transpired in my life since the last time I blogged and I don't know where to begin to tell you guys what's been happening. I'm currently in a season of restoration, freedom, and self-discovery (finding my true identity). I left home (Toledo, Ohio) July 6th to embark on a new and exciting journey in Dallas, Texas. I left behind my parents, my siblings, all of the friends and all of my extended family, everything that I knew and everything that was familiar and comfortable to me, was now in the distance. I remember feeling an overwhelming sense of peace as I traveled almost 2000 miles away from home. I remember it feeling so unreal that this a dream I've had for so long was now becoming a reality. As sad as it was for me to leave my family and friends behind I knew that God was about to do an amazing work in my life through my obedience to move and I was excited . I'll be ...

Honestly, 2014 was a rough year for me. I was so sad, overwhelmed and lonely most of the time, and felt like God was ignoring me and wasn’t hearing my prayers. It was a very frustrating and uncomfortable season. I was stretched, overwhelmed, physically and mentally exhausted. I was desperate for change, and desperate for God to do as I asked of Him then and there. I grew frustrated with waiting, I grew frustrated at my lack of patience, and distrust in God. I GREW FRUSTRATED with LIFE!  Yes the struggle was VERY real for me in 2014. I was very impatient with people, I lost hope in humanity, and I wanted to give up on everybody. I was so tired of trying to be this and that that it became physically draining. I was so tired of being there for everybody. I would say yes to everybody, which left me drained. I wanted to run away from everything. I lost all the desire to attend school, to attend church, and ESPECIALLY work! Every area of my life was being tested. I couldn't find c...

It's not about not wanting to follow a list of rules, it's more so the fact that very many of us make excuses to why we can't live like Jesus.. Don't drink, don't go to clubs, don't watch this or don't listen to that are not to stop us from having fun or to ruin our lives, but to help us remember that we should be striving DAILY to live a life pleasing to God, that glorifies God not our FLESH. Romans 12:1-2   I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Is what you're doing the will of God? Is it good in His eyes? Is it acceptable and perfect in His eyes? WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? How can you minister to an alcoholic when you are drinking with them...

I'm a good girl, BUT I'm not perfect. However growing up this is the what I've been called, and I've learned to accept that I am different from a lot of other girls well young women now. Not to sound like I'm better than anyone but I was definitely raised differently than most, and from a young girl I was taught to carry myself a certain way, act, think, and walk a certain way. My parents invested a lot of time in teaching me the ways in which I should go, the things I should and should't do, the friends I shouldn't or should have. They helped mold me into the woman I am today.  I don't have a long list of things I've done that will have people look at me like I'm crazy, but I do have A list just like everyone else!! Often times I feel like I'm not "out there" enough to have a testimony for encourage people, help them, but whoever said your testimony had to be this big dramatic tell it all, crazy filled story anyways? I believe...

Love Live Christ : My Testimony on How Jesus Saves : Christ has saved and freed me from my past and now I want to share (especially on my college years).  I pray your life is i mpacted in some ...

http://www.worshiphousemedia.com/song-tracks/36556/Jesus-At-The-Center A lmost a year ago, I went to church with a former friend and one of the ministers called me up and started to pray for me and prophesy over my life, one of the things that he told me is that I was being distracted. Immediately I was thinking to myself like this man doesn't even know me... At the time, I just started school, and could not understand what I was being distracted by. Well now over a year later I see it, I ended up in a situation that overtime (months) had become something that started to affect me spiritually, mentally and emotionally. And I started to worry about this, that and the other, this situation started to become the center of my focus, no longer was Christ the center he was alongside it. That wasn't my intention but even when we may have the best intentions at heart, and want the best for our situations, we can STILL be distracted by things. I got distracted, and didn't mean t...

                                     We are children of God, what are we worrying for?                  A big problem that people face today is the lack of Faith and spiritual truth. The truth makes us feel uncomfortable, so a lot of us don’t want to hear it. As Christians we should NEVER get comfortable. Because when we get comfortable, the devil sees that as an advantage to sneak his way into our lives and destroy us. We should always be on the look for the devil attacks, because we are his NUMBER 1 target, he’s not worried about the sinners, or lukewarm Christians, who are living the double life.  Jesus says in Matthew 12:30 that “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.” Therefore even if you do proclaim to “love” God, yet live an un-Godly lifestyle, you have chosen who you serve, and t...
