Come Away


There is a song by Jesus Culture called "Come Away" and it is truly the song I believe is for this season in my life right now. Not only mine but yours too. It talks about how to come away with God how it is NEVER too late to reach that calling on your life. How He has a plan so unique and divine for your life it is going to be wild, it is going to be great, and full of Jesus. WE just have to trust Him. I think so often it is hard to trust because we let sin the world come in between us and the Lord. We get so caught up in the moment or the past we forget we have a purpose and a calling. When we fall into sin we say I can't fulfill that dream God gave me when in reality we CAN! It is never to late to run after Jesus to change to succeed in this life spiritually and physically. I was talking to a friend the other day and she said I wanna change but I can't because of my past. Friends! STOP letting the past dictate who you are today! Each day is a clean slate a fresh new start. It is never to late to change to run after God's calling upon your life. He says love him with ALL your heart and He will give you the desires of your heart. ALL means ALL the broken, the past, those hurts, those joyous moments and those sorrowful moments. It won't be easy but it will be good. It will bring change in your life change is most time ALWAYS good but it is difficult. It is difficult to go beyond what you are "comfortable" in weather it be sin or your insecurities or what ever it may be and give it all to God. Why will it be worth it is because it will bring character so simply change brings character. Now you can either run from your calling or run right to it. TO run with Jesus I know I rather be doing that than running with the world. Running with the world provides limited access to the spiritually realm. It provides a MOMENTARY false joy that won't sustain you for long, Yes it may seem to be everything you ever wanted in that moment that oh so worth it feeling but it won't last forever. Where if you keep your eyes focused on Jesus his plans, his purpose, his joy is ETERNAL. It is a constant battle that keeps us thinking about our "calling" Eternal vs. Momentary. I think so often we choose the momentary choice over the eternal choice because we know we will see results right away. But God works the opposite way, not only if we wait patiently for what we don't have not only will we see it eternally but He will bless us too. We have to be a people who know the goodness of God is in every situation! God remains the only thing constant and the only good in this world. He is the solution and the resolution to every storm every problem we face in this life. Not only does he help us solve the problem in the end He will resolve it. And I think so often we say I can't handle this right now or I just wanna give up but God never gives you anything in your life that YOU cannot handle. Yes it might seem hard at the moment but again that word moment, look beyond it and look to the love and the grace of the Savior. Why do you think His name is Savior. TO SAVE US IN A TIME OF NEED. When we are tempted or fallen into sin to say God help me right now because I messed up and you know what He will do He will come down and say, :son/daughter it is ok I forgive you!, You are worth my love and I still love you, you are so precious and amazing, I see your struggles I see your pain but come abide in my love and grace.

WE have to fully realize that GOD IS GOOD. He is the only thing good in this broken world. To start to abide in his truth and his love. It is about accepting the love from the father. When we learn to accept we can learn to give. If we don't accept it first how then can we minister to other. To learn we ARE forgiven, redeemed and loved. Let us be a people who know how to accept his love. And learn it is NEVER ever to late to run after Him, it is a choice remember to wake up every day with the mind set it is a new day and God will do wonders in my life today.

I hope this made semi sense lol I know it is a bunch of jumble mess haha.

Well God Bless :)

Potential in the Moment


So I know I never talk about "normal life" on my blogs but today was most certainly not normal. After school I got into a car accident today. It was so scary and I am just lucky God has grace on my life. It was interesting when I hit the car I felt a hand push me back I know that was the hand of God. Not only that but when I got out I heard Him saying it will all be alright and everything is going to work out for my good. And everything is so far. I am ok, I am alive and I am blessed. Because God is good, He does have a plan and purpose in my life. Maybe spiritually speaking we need sometimes a "fender bender" in our lives to wake us up. To see that we have to live each moment to the fullest to say I am going to do the right choice instead of what my flesh wants. I know this might sound twisted but bear with me what would have happened if I got critically injured or died today? Would I have met my calling on this earth? I am blessed beyond measures that my God protected me today. It shows that He does have a specific purpose in my life (Jeremiah 29:11). I think so often we don't realize what can happen in one day. We think it is just going to be a normal day then something happens. And I am not talking about an actual "fender bender" to wake you up spiritually but what if something in our heart crash? We have to learn to not only live a Christian "life" every Sunday but every day of the week. To stand for what WE believe in and to have that holy standard, not because of a have to, but rather a want to. Because the moment it becomes a have to: spend time with Jesus, Pray, Tithe, is when we lose sight of truly how God our God is and how sweet and satisfying his presence is. When we grasp onto this concept others will then see it. This generation doesn't need a bible thrown at them, they need to see living proof in the pudding. I now am blessed to say God has given me part of my testimony with what happened today. I can now say that yeah that happened and some might say it is life, but I say it is God. Because He already knew that was going to happen today and He is in control. And yet again He is showing me trust, because I wanted a car so bad. I finally got one a couple weeks ago ( a blessing from God ) and not even having it for 2 weeks it got totaled. But that is ok BECAUSE GOD IS IN CONTROL, I think He is showing me this relationship is based upon 2 main points. 1. Accepting His Love 2. TRUST. HEAR me out is is all about TRUST. Because with out trust we have no foundation and with no foundation we have no faith and no faith means no love. I am confident to say that we need to throw all the past "people" that have hurt us, left us ect. And look to God. We give him the label of whatever hurt/shame we are carrying on our backs. We have to learn to TRUST him because He knows what days are planned out for us what will happen 5 minutes from now or 5 years from now. He gives us these "fender benders" to show us how good his power can work, how he can make something the enemy intended for evil and make into his good. What can I say except we are the clay marred in his hands. He will work every crack, every hole, every bump in our lives perfect and smooth. We just have to trust, because if we don't trust we won't give God our full heart, because if we still have insecurities it will be so hard to let go. And when we do let go God will do amazing wonders. God is good that is all I have to say I guess at the end of this crazy day. He is the only ABSOLUTE GOOD thing on this earth. And live each moment to the fullest don't ever live with regrets because you never know when your moment is up.

God Bless
