What it means to follow God and His Word

Hey y’all this is something that has been on my heart lately!  We need to follow the Bible and what it says no matter how we feel! We need to follow God and His Word even when the culture or cultural standards change.  Because God’s Word is based on His Truth and His Truth never changes! We may not always understand why He is asking us to do something but we can trust He knows best!  We need to ask God like David did to search our heart and show us our sin.  One of my mentors used to tell me that I need to pray that God would give me a distaste for my sin.  We need to have a distaste is everything that is not of God! We need to hate our sin.  We need to love God and love others.  We need to see them as God sees them.  We need to be a servent.  We need to be humble.  We need there to be less of us and more of God.  We need to repent and turn back to our first love!  Y’all the only thing that matters in this life is Jesus! Without Him life would be completely hopeless and meaningless!  If it weren’t for Jesus it would be so easy to be drepressed and want to give up on life.  But He is our hope.  I very much believe that the Bible contains the answers to our problems.  He is the only hope we have in this life.  Turn to Him today.  Trust Him today.  Love Him today.  He’s worth it.  He’s always worth it!

    Wow! This really reminds me that I need to pray and read God's word and let Him be my guide. It reminds me of this song: Without Him and says "Without Him I could do nothing
    Without Him I'd surely fail...". "

Perfect peace

The wind. The rain. The clouds.  Sunsets.  Cool air. To some people those things might not bring a sense of peace and comfort but to me it’s amazing.  It’s so peaceful and beautiful.  I could stay outside all the time when it’s like that. Peaceful.  Calming.  But there’s a peace that’s even greater than that.  There is a peace that can only come from Christ.  There is a peace that passes all understanding. “The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect  peace, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all [ a ] comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:7 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."  John 14:27   "O Lord , You have searched me and known me . You know [ a ] when I sit down and [ b ] when I rise up...

It’s a new year

Man I’ve turned 35.  I’m another year older. I guess it’s only downhill from here I guess or uphill haha.  I’d like to say I’m another year wiser and that I’m more like Christ and I definitely think I’m more like Christ. I think God has given me more wisdom also.  I’m just not anywhere near where I want to be.  Today was just another day really.  I didn’t really do much to celebrate it.  I went to Starbucks with a sweet friend who gave me a present.  I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t really have a party or anything even though other friends had had parties.  I realized that I was just being selfish and self focused. Sometimes I feel like I’m invisible or that people don’t notice me as much but even that is being self focused.  I was wanting a party so I could be with people and celebrate but I was also just wanting attention. I was thinking about this one time one of my friends Kaycee had one of our friends Laura make me a cake for m...

My journey of Faith and how God has guided me

Image
                           “A man’s heart plans his way but the Lord directs His steps.”  Proverbs 16:9 I’ve been thinking about this verse a lot lately and how true it has been in my life.  When I went home for Christmas after I graduated with my MDiv in Missions in December my plan was to find a biblical counseling internship somewhere.  I had looked different places but nothing had worked out. I looked on the biblical counseling website which is the website for the Association of Certified Biblical Counseling.  I had looked at Washington and it didn’t work out and I looked in Oregon and one of the first names I saw was Mitch Lamotte.  On December 29 I emailed Mitch Lamotte from Southwest Hills Baptist Church about doing a biblical counseling internship at their church.  He told me about the biblical counseling pastor at the church, Kerry Francetice. ...
