Prayerful

Lately here in the United States of America we have seen such violence outbreaks. One of the most common is police officers taking advantage of there authority. There has also been mass shootings across the states ;furthermore, innocent people dying. If your anything like me your probably wondering "God where are you when these things happen?" I immediately shake that off because God is watching He is very aware of everything that is happening. Just like He was aware of our nation defying him and his commandments. "A nation that defies Him, he plans judgment. And no one, not even his chosen messengers, will escape suffering but His presence will make them strong enough to face it". We have all seen how our nation has forgotten the Faith in Christ it was built upon. Our nation now allows sin as the norm. But do not conform to the patterns of this world as it so states in the scriptures. It is a time for prayer because sin will not go unpunished He is a God of justice. It is a time to repent and seek his face diligently. Pray without ceasing for His protection and mercy. Reading the book of Habakkuk I've learned and understood what it really means to have Faith in God and trust him through it all.  It is a beautiful portrayal and reminder that He is a God of Justice and will bring judgment. "Yet I will wait patiently for the day of the of calamity to come on the nation invading us. Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, He enables me to go on the heights". Habakkuk 3: 17-19
 Through everything rejoice and be confident in the Lord our savior and pray, be prepared spiritually and abide under the shadow of the almighty!

Unfathomable Love

"God fills us up with his holy spirit", because of his kindness and grace. "It is a glorious grace because it covers our sin and empowers us to overcome sin and works of the devil". These are the words that I once heard and really took them in my heart. God is so good that he bestows his loving grace and unfathomable love, so unconditional and so sincere. When a believer experiences the holy spirit its like an enormous amount of peace, happiness, and an over-whelming sense (feeling) of being loved. I cant really describe the over all feeling because their is simply no words that can really live up to the experience of that moment. Its one of those feelings one could only experience to fully understand; and only then they will know the purest of love. I give him praise for his loving kindness, and glorious grace. "Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever. {Psalm136:26}

A fork by any other name Have you ever asked yourself "Why does God allow bad things to happen? Being Christian does not mean you will have the perfect life. God never promises that ;however,  He does promise that whatever we go through He will always be there. "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:27 A fork by any other name is the title I choose because that was the precise experience that moved me in a way that every year following that experience during thanksgiving I think about it. Thanksgiving is quite the reflective season for me. Where I sit a and think a little longer, and appreciate things a little more than usual, and take the time to express it to God, my family, and friends. So when I am asked what am I thankful for. I say Forks! Yes, I know that might seem like a very unusual answer but allow to explain and narrate the stor

"Be quiet! Be still!"

"Be quiet, Be still!" Those where the words Jesus muttered after He was awakened in a hurried manner to find his disciples in distress over a storm. You see, He was on a boat. A storm was coming and everyone with the exception of Him was afraid. I was on that boat. In fact, I am on that boat. I feel like the weight of the World is crushing down upon me. Storms and waves keep crashing, they just take different forms. Waves of doubt, heavy rains of judgment and criticism, thunder of rejection and storms of them all put  together to make one intimidating hurricane. These waves of doubt look like a lot of looking left and right only to see everyone around me doing so well at whatever they are doing when I dont even seem to have a clue what im doing, what im called to, or even what will become of me. I have no answers to any of those things, all I know is that this is a place where I have been lead and doubt has crept into my mind and it has stolen my peace, my hope, my faith.
