Sharing My Heart and Starting Again at Blogging

Hey guys! Welcome back to the blog. Today I'm sharing my heart and starting over again at blogging. I have been undecided about what direction I wanted to take with this blog, however, I just want to write again and share my heart. So, I hope you'll stick around to read to the end of the post and that you find some encouragement or insight here. I also pray that it encourages you to assess where you are in your life and to start reflecting on whether where you are right now is leading you to who you want to be and what you want to do or the mark you want to leave in your own life.

When Family is Not Everything

Hello again. Today's post is titled "When Family is Not Everything." This post is a very hard post for me to write because I have wrestled with this for a long, long time in my personal life. Culturally speaking the phrase "family is everything" is pretty much widely adopted and accepted throughout every culture that I can think of. Ideally families provide a sense of identity, acceptance, feelings of security and belonging. Even so, ideal concepts are not always the reality, so I am sharing why I believe God led me away from my immediate family, my personal struggles with that, and why we should follow Jesus when he calls us to even if it means distancing yourselves from relatives. In Luke 18: 29-30, Jesus said,

Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.

Some GOOD News | The Gospel of Jesus Christ

This morning I awoke with good news on my heart, the best news one could ever receive was literally the first mediation of my heart. The good news I'm referring to is the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am just so humbled and filled with joy at the free gift that is available to anyone who has the humility and courage to receive it. I believe that this is such a good time to go back to the basics with all the confusion, hatred, and chaos evident all around the world. The good news is based on love, because God is love. The love we all long for that will fulfill our every need and fill us with a hope and peace we could never imagine. I've also created a video for this blog that you can watch here.

The God of Justice

Hello everyone. Today I've titled my post The God of Justice and I wanted to share how I have recently been seeking to understand God’s justice and some biblical verses/principles that I've been meditating on. I was planning to do a testimony regarding the family dysfunction and abuse that I endured and how I'm unpacking the trauma of the past and reconciling that with my faith in God and His word, however, I wanted to share this post first because it is so relevant right now.

Fully Understanding God's Love & Will for His Followers

Hi everyone. Today I am sharing a post on Fully Understanding God's Love and His Will for His Followers. I hope you all are seriously taking this time of social isolation to examine your hearts, your life, and your priorities. I am sharing this because I have struggled with huge disappointments in life and heartbreaks that were no fault of my own and others that were absolutely a result of my choices. Unfortunately, most people have a superficial and incorrect understanding of God's love. I'm not a pastor or a teacher, so I've collected a lot of verses, so you can discern for yourself. 

The heart of it is that we would not like someone to just say they love us in words alone and not take the time to understand us or find out the ways that we feel loved. God extended the gift of salvation because he wants a personal relationship with us and for us to be a part of His Kingdom.
