Dang.. Just being on here makes me miss blogging so much. I don't really know where I'm going with this but those of you who know me know that once I start, I will get into something and I won't be able to stop!
I started a campaigners at my house and its been really great. The kids are awesome and I can tell that what they want more than anything is to get more into the Word and serve the Lord as much as they possibly can. It's so awesome to see such young people strive to such limits! (including myself, my momma's proud!)
I'm also excited for this upcoming weekend. I'm going to be serving the lord in many different ways- from packing gift bags for the needy to being on a dance team for the launch of the Christmas series! I'm really thankful to say this might be one of the best Christmases I've ever had.. And I'm not even thinking about my presents! I think that's really a gift from the Lord and how much He's blessed me these past few weeks.
Anyways I'd like to tell y'all what's been going on in my life because I know a lot of you are very busy like me and we barely get to update each other!
My relationship with the Lord has been pretty rocky.. I feel though that I can't really complain because there's people out there who don't even have a relationship with Him and that's what I want to be focusing on. But how can I get through that without a strong relationship with Jesus? I can't- maybe for a few days but with out him stuff like that is impossible. It reminds me of Work Crew. Working 11 hours a day doing the same thing over and over again.. I couldn't have done it without the Lord! And everyone there would agree. Its hard work! All is impossible without God. So that's why I think without Him how could I be serving Him? I was living pretty much without Him for about a week. Up until this past Monday. I mean I was hearing about him at church, and maybe at a few other things but for me, without a quiet time with Him including reading His word and praying, I am not in the right standing relationship with him. And every time this happens to me I feel so down.. Yet I'm not motivated to have quiet times. And I know this could sound cliche, but after I prayed about it for a while I finally got the motivation. Some of you may think.. That sounds too easy.. It can't be that easy! But guys, it is. Through prayer you can receive anything if you ask for it! You just have to have faith- and that right standing relationship with Jesus. Now that's an awesome gift because it's free! And that's what I love about this journey. Free to LIVE. And live to the FULL more importantly. The last thing that I want to share is that I recently picked up a new bible (but instead of NIV I got The Message) and it's unexplainably AWESOME! I encourage all of you to get one, and start off your reading with Romans. I've read bits and pieces from this book but nothing compares to reading it from beginning to end especially with this version of God's word! It's really brought me back into the spirit of the Lord and I'm so thankful! I know this hasn't been much of a lesson or anything of those sorts but hey- you might get something out of it. I hope you do :) happy Thanksgiving week and if you're a part of Potential church, happy Christmas launch weekend! Gonna be EPIC!
And I'll leave you with this:
"It's news that I'm most proud to proclaim, this extraordinary Message of God's powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts Him.. God's way of putting people right shows up in the acts of faith, confirming what Scripture has said all along: 'The person in right standing before God by trusting Him really lives.'"
-Romans 1:16-17
Y'all. Two simple steps.
•Right standing with Him
•Move into LIFE!
