My Desire is to Inspire | Christian Blog

Do you need or want what your heart desires? God promises to give us what we need, when we need it. Sometimes a delay in our prayers is simply because we don't need it at the moment, we just want it. And I believe that Hes more concerned about our needs than our wants. It's a blessing when our wants line up with what He knows we need❤ He said He will provide, trust His timing. He knows best!

God uses tough situations in our lives to reveal His sovereignty and extend His grace to us. Often times it is the storms and valleys in our lives that forces us to fall on our knees and surrender to Him and His will. Even though hard times are very difficult, they reveal that God is still good and that he doesn't want any of us to perish. The testing of your faith produces patience and perseverance. He is using your trial to draw you closer to Him. He wants you. All of you. Even the broken pieces of your life. He is able to handle it. He wants your attention and will stop at nothing to get it. He is pursuing you in your trials, will you let Him in? Praying with you. ❤

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...
