   Too many times we get stuck in our own ruts, thinking that this is pleasing to God.  When, honestly, nothing is worse than being stuck in a certain religious routine.  God does wants us to worship Him in all things we do or say.  There is a song I like to sing called, " You Never Mentioned Him to Me." In this song the writer, James Rowe,  warns us as Christians to always be a witness to our friends and family because if we don't, their blood will be on our hands come judgment day.     Judgment Day will be a day when all our works will be laid out  before God. We will be judged for what we do and obviously don't do while here on Earth. The only thing we can take to Heaven with us is someone else. If we don't listen to the spirit our blessings will surely be given to someone else and that will be no one else's fault but our own.  We might not all be preachers, or singers, or teachers, but we all can pray and always be ki...

Sometimes the Devil will try to tell you that Your gifts are not important. He will try to emphasize that other people are better or more popular than you.  In reality, analytics do not matter to God.  He does not need you but created you for His glory and if we do not exercise our gifts He will take them away from us completely.  It does not matter if someone likes or dislike your music or song, what matters is God's approval.  He created us and all other things for praising Him.  I know its been said before but if we do not obey Gods calling, the rocks will cry out and we in turn will miss a blessing that was meant to be ours.    Obeying God is something we, personally have to be able and willing to do on our own.  No one else is fitted to receive the blessing God created for you as an individual.  It is hard to keep in mind sometimes, but we were created to Worship God, not to gain achievements for ourselves.  If we press to always b...

The devil will try to influence our thoughts in many ways.  There's so many role models or higher up individuals that young girls and women long to follow. Their image is so beautiful and indeed easy to be discouraged by when you let your mind set idle.  It is not healthy for us however, to constantly drool over things that were not to be ours in the first place.    God knew His plans for us long before we were even born and that makes me feel special.  He knew every step of the way before we even knew the trail existed.  There is something special about knowing God knew what mistakes we would make but yet He chose to let us make them because He knew we were only human.  God takes pride in knowing that His children choose to follow Him in the darkest moments.  It is truly an amazing feeling to be cradled in the arms of an Almighty God, the God who created the Universe.  We can go to Him anytime our hearts desire because He made a way for us ...

 There is nothing more frustrating than watching everyone around you get what they want. Watching them gain real world success, or achieving some kind of academic success.  I guess it's true what they say, "every piece of the puzzle doesn't always fit together correctly."  So should one get some super glue and make it fit or buy another puzzle and take one piece and fit it in the old puzzle, or just start on a whole different puzzle entirely? Life does not make sense sometimes, but you can't just stop and go backwards even though it may seem like your going in circles.     People will definitely try to confuse and tell you that whatever it is isn't worth it. But if it means something to YOU, then it is most certainly worth every mile.  Every time I step up to the checkout with a coupon someone says something about getting a job, but I just smile and use them anyway. It doesn't matter what everyone else says just as long as its a pa...

 There is nothing more depressing than a person who is always negative. It seems so hard to contain a positive outlook on life. Writing is a way for me to relax and reflect on Gods many mercies and wonderful things that He has in store for my future. I try to stay away from Negative Nancy" as they say and surround myself with people who have the same interests as I do.   If at all possible, I would like to encourage others along the way as well. Everyone has their hurdles to jump, no matter how tall they might seem.  Until you have walked in someone else's shoes, do not judge them.    Someone else's battles may seem small to someone from a far distance when in reality the certain difficulty might be a lot strenuous than it seems. That person just may know how to smile through their tears better than just rolling in them all day long.  I know some people that do not look handicap at all because the handicap is not visible to the naked eye but they need...
