Seasons

Seasons change from Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall but, these are not the seasons that I am talking about. The seasons that I am talking about are the ones that we go through in life such seasons of happiness, sadness, blessings, and etcetera… Each of us go through these kind of seasons some point in our lives.

Everyone is experiencing one of these seasons right now but yet again the season of your pain and sadness is someone else’s season of blessings. Ecclesiastics 3, talks about the different seasons. There is a time for everything. Some of us may not know what season we are in because we are going through different situations that is sometimes up and sometimes down. In midst of it all we need to remember that we are going through that season of sadness, betrayal, hardship, and happiness for a reason.

In our seasons we need to reach out to God, not just in the season of sadness but in the season of blessings as well. To be honest with you I do not really know what season I am going through as of this moment. Sometimes I feel as if I am going through every season. Happiness, sadness, disappointment, joy, and regret.

Going through those kind of seasons is for our own good because in one of the seasons we will encounter Jesus. We will encounter him in a way we do not expect to encounter him. Some of us already have but be ready in and out of season. We are not alone in our seasons. We have a way maker.

2 Timothy 4:2, ” Preach the word; be prepared in and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage- with great patience and careful instruction.”

Why I Blog?

I started this blog in 2015. This is my passion not to judge people by the things I say but to encourage them. To be honest it is hard for me to think of what I should say. Everything that I put on this website comes from my heart. I believe that God wanted me to start this and so I did without hesitation, I know that it is not where I want to be as of right now but I have faith that it will get where I want it to be.

The purpose of this blog is to give hope to the hopeless, not only that as well as giving people something to look to and not be discourage when they cannot find the help or the inspiration they need. This is my passion and praise dance as well. When I started this blog I was not sure on how it will turn out to be, I was not sure what I should write about. Honestly, I can that I am glad that my blog is blessing people and I know that it will touch the lives of people that are going through a struggle in their lives.

I know this post is not like my other posts but I just wanted to do something different. I encourage whoever reads this  to tell others about this blog because there may be someone out there struggling and looking for words  of hope and wisdom. I strive to make an impact in the lives of people.

Have a blessed day everyone. Stay encouraged!!!

Faith Conquers All

The most important to have in life is faith. What is faith? There is two definitions of faith; complete trust or confidence in something or someone, and strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion.

  In Hebrews 11; 1-3, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what was unseen was not made out of what was visible.”

As I was listening to Dr. Tony Evans podcast, Heroes of Faith series, he goes in depth explaining what faith is. In the words of Dr. Tony Evans,

“Faith is simply acting like it is so, even when it is not so, in order it might be so because God said so.” 

Let’s go back to the beginning, Genesis. When God was creating the universe he did not take clay, or a piece of glob whatever you want to call it and create the universe from it. All he did was command it. Now you cannot tell me is not awesome. Speaking it into existence and then whoop there it is. Why rely on luck when there is faith.

Take a look at the weather person. A lot of us rely on that person to tell us if the weather outside will be sunny or horrible. Whenever the weather man says there is a thirty percent chance of rain we do not know if we should take an umbrella or not. That is what we do to God. We go bobbing for apples. If you can believe a man who is sometimes up sometimes down, what about God who is always right! Faith is the key to experience God. Anyone can have faith, in Hebrews 11 God uses ordinary people to tell about faith. He used a prostitute, a murderer, a liar, and etc…

Faith conquers all, ten years ago my sister dreamed of having her own salon. She worked hard for it and now she has it. There were times when her faith would go down but no matter what her faith conquered all. She experienced God. Even though she could not she her salon yet (ten years ago) but she knew that she will have own salon someday. Faith is confidence of things you do not see. Faith will not manifest itself until there is movement. Like my sister said, “Pray, plan, and push.”

Faith can reach the unreachable.

  “God wants you to trust his integrity so, you can say catch me in this this situation, catch me in this circumstance because I have learn to trust his integrity.”

– Dr. Tony Evans

Desire

We all have desires. There is not one person in this world who does not have a desire. Some of us has a desire to travel, make a difference, whatever may be the desire Gods desire for us to do his will. He does not want us to just think about ourselves while the rest of this nation is living in despair.

If your desire is to see God shift this nation then it starts with you and I. My desire is to have a deeper relationship with God. A deeper relationship where I not only just hear Gods voice but to see his power change this nation. Some of us has a desire to see all the things that God reveals to us but we need to decide to step up to the plate and believe.

God desire for us is to do what he wants. We did not get placed on this for no reason after all we are just passing through.

Psalms 37:4, “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” 

We need to put our faith in God. How else will we get the desires of our heart? Not by the leprechaun and his pot of gold because he do not exist. You see God does not fail at giving us our desires. So why are we failing at what God desires for us? God wants us to intervene not on the behalf of ourselves but the nation. Our desires of the heart should not just be always about what we need or what we want. Instead, it should be the desires that God has planned for us. His will. Not ours.

The desires of our hearts will not come to us that easily. Yes, it will take time for us to get our desires but first take pleasure in God then he will provide our every need. Well, not every need because he knows what is best. Sometimes we know what our desire is, other times we do not. We get afraid to take the first step of our desires but sometimes we just do not see that we have taken the first step. We get so busy trying to get the desires of our hearts that sometimes we do not recognize that God is ready to provide us the desires but he is just waiting for us to set up. So, will you set to the plate? What is your desire?
