This is My Season

-

Well, 2019 is finally upon us and New Years Day is coming to a close, 

 and the beginning of the year when we all make resolutions for the

next 365 days. I have made a few resolutions for this upcoming year, 

 I have decided to make these goals simple; we seem to over complicate

 life way too much and this year I want it to be simple.

 So here are a few of my resolutions:

 ....I want to dive into the Word more and be open to make myself uncomfortable in different situations

 ....Stay mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually healthy

 ....Think less of me and more of others, I want to be willingly to give up my wants, to give my wants to the needs of others

 ....I want to talk and explore the important things in life with others around me

 In already experiencing some hardships in the last month 

 I know that this life has its seasons, some being beautiful,

 others not so much. So going into this new year I know

 that there will be times where it feels like the winter,

 hard, cold, and long-lasting; but I will get through it.

In beginning this New Year I have challenged myself to 

 read a little bit of Scripture every day and right a little

 something as well. So, for when the season of winter 

 comes, which I know it will, I will be covered with the 

 armor of the Lord. I have fallen in love with the song below, 

 I challenge all who read this listen to this song and REALLY 

 think about the words, because there will be a 

 point in our lives when we will hit a season of 

 doubt, worry, pain, and loss; and this song

 shows that His love and guidance will never fade. 

 I pray for this upcoming year that our lives will be 

 changed, hearts will be healed, and joy will be restored.

Like the frost on a rose
Winter comes for us all
Oh how nature acquaints us
With the nature of patience
Like a seed in the snow
I’ve been buried to grow
For Your promise is loyal
From seed to sequoia


Though the winter is long even richer
The harvest it brings
Though my waiting prolongs even greater
Your promise for me like a seed
I believe that my season will come


Lord I think of Your love
Like the low winter sun
As I gaze I am blinded
In the light of Your brightness
Like a fire to the snow
I’m renewed in Your warmth
Melt the ice of this wild soul
Till the barren is beautiful


I can see the promise
I can see the future
You’re the God of seasons
I’m just in the winter
If all I know of harvest
Is that it’s worth my patience
Then if You’re not done working
God I’m not done waiting
You can see my promise
Even in the winter
Cause You’re the God of greatness
Even in a manger
For all I know of seasons
Is that You take Your time
You could have saved us in a second
Instead You sent a child


And when I finally see my tree
Still I believe there’s a season to come


Like a seed You were sown
For the sake of us all
From Bethlehem’s soil
Grew Calvary’s sequoia

Someday Which is the Now

"It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life. We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. But ambition is good. Chasing things with integrity is good. Dreaming… If you had a friend you knew you’d never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it, do it, don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever. Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want. Everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle’s gonna come from. The next memory. The next smile. The next wish come true. But if you believe that it’s right around the corner. And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it. To the certainty of it. You might just get the thing yo...

Perfection....That's Overrated!!

-
    Everyone tries to obtain this sense of "perfection". Let me tell you...there is no such thing. In our minds we have a vision of what our lives should look like and then we try to perfect it. For me perfection is straight A's, a 4.3 GPA, a great relationship, and to have plenty of time on my hands. Unfortunately none of these things are true right now. We are persistent constantly trying to "tweak" things in life. Can we let go and just let God take the rains for once? I love how C.S. Lewis puts this into perspective. So let God take hold of your life and try to sit back and enjoy the ride you never know you may enjoy it!! Each time you fall He'll pick you up. He knows your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection ~ C. S. Lewis

S.A.F.E.

Let's be SAFE! That is what the media, our community, and the nation has been saying for almost a week now. We all realize that we MUST practice social distancing so we can protect ourselves and others from COVID-19.  We keep using this word safe which often times puts us in this small box that we have to hide everything in...we have to keep it all to ourselves and we do not share with others. When our world says, "let's stay S.A.F.E." they mean: S tay .  A way . F rom . E veryone . When we should be saying, "S.A.F.E.": S erve . A ctively    . F aithfully . E veryday . I want to focus on Psalm 46, which captures the love, protection, and stillness of God. This Psalm brings peace over my soul and makes me throw all my worries, doubts, and fears to Him. In this time of uncertainty, "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble."(Psalm 46:1-NLT) So we need to SERVE intentionally, whe...
