Allow God to do a great work in you

How precious life is and it is often wasted. We don't recognize its worth till we stare at death's door, looking down the path of no return...How amazing would it be to live each day with wonder, immeasurable grace in evrything, sharing love with loved ones and those random strangrs whom you cross paths with at various moments in your day...How amazing would it be to truly, actively chose to be ALIVE!!! That at the end of the day, it's not about what I have or don't have,...but it's about the number of lives I touched for the Glory of God....Your best 'why I serve God' or 'why I have Faith' argument is simply being all God designed you to be. Don't need a blow horn to announce the Gospel of Christ... Simply by living and practicing what you believe you have the power to turn your environment and atmosphere around you...Glory to God!!!

Today I'm thankful for life and God's goodness in protecting my loved ones.

God is interested in you

Today's reflection: God is interested in me being productive...He is interested in me using all my talents and gifts to the fullest of my ability. Which makes complete sense since Jesus died to give me FULLNESSS of life!!! So why wouldnt God place me where I can grow in fullness? Why wouldnt He be as interested in me living out His purpose for my life? Serving God's purpose is the only effective way He can use me to the utmost yet while I live. But it has to be togethr with Him. I'm standing on His first promise to me (Hebrews 11:40). Glory to God.

Day 9

I'm still a work in progress with blogging. It's just much easier with my journal since when a revelation hits I'm not always close to a computer...
What I've learned so far about God is:
-If you take Him seriously' He will show himself strong in your life. His word according to Ps145 is that He is near to all those who call on Him in truth.
-Nothing is impossible for God!!! Nothing is impossible for God!!! Hallelujah!!!! Seriously...there's nothing in the entire earth or spiritual realm that God cannot do...
-God listens, He cares, He answers...Can I wait and be patient for His timing for everything?

My Prayers have slowly evolved into desires to know God, to have His wisdom and perspective always, to glorify Him in my life. I encourage you not to limits your view and relationahip with God at the gifts and blessings. All that is wonderful, but go for the Giver himself and you will not be disappointed. See if He will not restore to you he joys of salvation, annoint you with gladness, and dress you with a garment of praise (Isaiah 61:1-3)

Day 4

I missed Days 1-3 because of preparations for our church convention. Longs hours of physically and spiritually pushing through in dance. There were definitely points when I thought of taking a break after this convention...I essentially had no life, work 9-5, dance 7 till....yea...functioning on 5-6hrs of sleep, and somehow trying to fit in devotionals and time with God.

I'm reminded by one major Jesus question " What will it cost you to follow Jesus?"...It is easy to profess with the mouth, but when it comes to time to walk it out...well things dont seem as easy as previously thought. But praises to the ever-knowing and ever-present God, who sees each of us by name. He really does recognize our sacrifices for our work in His Kingdom in the midst of daily living...

For Days 1-3 I came to know God as my Strength and He provides Rest

For Day 4: God is my Encourager and He understands
