truly, madly, deeply

This weekend, God used a tragedy in someone else's life, to touch my own life, to renew my spirit, to remind me what he's called me to be in this world.

I am called to love. To help others in their burdens, to lift up, to encourage, to pray, to challenge, to inspire, to share in His love! I had forgotten that. Sometimes it's easy to let yourself get lost in this world; to allow your dreams to die; to slough off the greatness that you are destined for.

I see a lost, hurting world. I know that I will never find true happiness until I accept who I am in Christ, until I turn my talents and gifts that he's given me, into a work for Him. It's easy to stay where you are, to not accept the call of Christ. To push it back one more day, one more day. But there are those around you...who may not have one more day; you may not have one more day.

In our world and in our culture, hopes and dreams can often become getting by and settling. Instead of fully relying on Christ to make us into what only he can, we cut him and his magnificent power off, and rely only on ourselves and what we can do ( which is nothing, but through Christ...all things are possible!)

Today, I want to renew my mission in this life, I want to yell out to the nations, Speak Lord, for your servant listens. I want to change this world for the cause of Christ, I want to stop wasting time, I want to start changing lives, I want to live a life that's fully devoted and committed to the things of Christ! No turning back!

I pray friends that God will speak to us, that He will awake that call in your life, that you will open your hearts to His still small voice that is calling out to you! Be His hands, Be his feet. People all around us are dying and crying out! They are begging you to listen to God and to share your story with them! Will you hear them? Will you see them? Will you look beyond yourself, beyond what you want and open your eyes and your heart to what God wants?

Oh the vastness of the dreams and the love that God has for us, and yet, dear ones, rarely do we tap into that. Rarely do we avail ourselves to His calling, to the power and love that He is offering to us. We are not of this world, but we often get stuck in this world and merely survive in this world! We are called to so much more!


If you don't know your calling, get alone with God, pray, ask, and seek Him! The bible promises that when we seek Him, we shall find Him! Look at what talents you have, look at what you are passionate about, look at what angers you in a holy way and what you can do to change it or make others suffer less! Start doing something!

I pray today, that we will clear our minds and our hearts, look beyond our wants and our dreams, and look to what God has for us. To see what we can do. Every journey begins with one step! May you face your fears, may you embrace the power of God that is awaiting you! I love you all, and I pray that God will move our hearts, purify our motives, enrich our faith and may we draw near to His throne and begin to live in the richness and the fullness of Him!

If you need anything, prayer or etc...please message me!
