So, it has definitely been awhile since I have been on here! I just wanted to leave a word of encouragement and remind you how amazing God is. I felt led to share this situation in hopes to encourage someone else who is going through a difficult situation or season right now. I know it isn’t always the easiest thing to go through, especially if its alone. But God is always right there with you and He is waiting on you to “ask.” Just ask Him what to do, which way to go, where does He want you? And He will show you if you are paying attention.

Here’s a little background to what I am going to talk about. So, I’ve dealt with different health issues pretty much my whole life. Nothing major compared to most people, but for me it gets really discouraging and difficult at times. The last year I have been seeing a new natural doctor and what he said was supposed to take a few months to get better has well taken almost a year. I have tried EVERYTHING! I tried multiple kinds of doctors and treatments over the course of years and years. Last week I was in complete despair over the whole situation. I was so desperate and have been so desperate for God to show up and just tell me! Help me! Anything. So, last week driving to my doctors appointment on my way to get another blood test I just began crying. I cried the whole night before and that morning driving I just couldn’t contain it. I was like “God why?! like why is all this happening I have tried everything I can think of.” The song I had playing was this new mashup song of Good Good Father and the same time I said that to God the lyrics playing out were “We’re all searching for answers only He provides.” BAM! I looked over to my left and the car in front of me had a license plate that said “ASK” I had been asking God to show me and tell me all morning. What do I need to do and He replied just ask. Then as I was leaving my doctors appointment I put that same song on and was driving to work and I saw 8:18 in the time twice! I was like okay God what are you trying to show me? Immediately Romans 8:18 popped in my head. As soon as I got to work I looked up Romans 8:18 and it was so spot on! It says “I am sure what we are suffering now cannot compare with the glory that will be shown to us.” – Romans 8:18

God is listening and He is waiting for us to ask. He wants us to seek Him and His will on things. He hears our cries and He knows what’s going on. Clearly He is speaking and He’ll show you if you are paying attention. We aren’t meant to do this on our own and try to figure everything out by ourselves. Like me for example. I’ve exhausted myself doing everything in my own power trying to heal myself. Rather than just sit and ask my dad Jesus what I should be doing. He is saying just ask because He has all the answers. He hears our cries and He knows when we’re hurting. Be encouraged because He has so much more in store. He holds it all and He is holding you. Seek what the Father has to say because He loves you so much ❤

Remember You are Fearfully Made

Fear. This multifaceted shape shifter. It’s this thing that we can’t see, yet it hinders us from all our dreams and desires. It’s different for everyone and takes on multiple forms. Fear was definitely NOT what I intended on writing about for my first post. But last night I was reading over something I felt like I wanted to speak about. Until I was flipping through an old journal and it hit me! This is the perfect thing to talk about! Fear.

I mentioned how I always felt led to start a blog but I ignored God out of fear. As I was flipping through this old journal last night I came across this message I wrote to myself over 2 years ago. I wrote “Start the blog – Step out in Faith!” At the time I had several people telling me to start a blog. Further affirming the Lords plans…yet I let fear take over. Now, almost 3 years later I’m finally doing it.

You see Fear is really F-alse, E-vidence, A-pearing, R-eal. The first time I heard that I was like “Dannnnggg! That’s some truth!” Because it is! Anytime you are trying to move forward in purpose and those lies start rolling in, that’s when the enemy is getting scared. The first place he will attack is your mind. Especially when you are stepping out in faith and purpose. Satan will try to cripple you with fear to keep you stuck in where you’re at.

I continued to read this message in my journal and I realized I am living in that bubble of fear. Anytime we allow the enemy or others to steal our passions, purpose, desires away from us we are allowing Satan to win. He does NOT want you to walk in the fullness of what God has for you. He sure as heck doesn’t want you stepping out in faith! I read the rest of my message reading my words back to myself “Am I going to be crippled by fear that what I have to share is insignificant? OR will I do it anyway? Will I step out and walk by faith?”

I am stepping out in faith to share. Encourage. Inspire. I want you to know that it is never to late to over come that fear! Do not let the lies of the enemy cripple you in where you’re at. We all have had people mistreat us or speak false truth over us. Don’t let those things define you! Ask yourself what does my heavenly Father say? What is it that I want to do? What am I feeling led to do? Do not let the accusations of the enemy keep you from where you want to be. Do not let that false evidence stop you! Step out and faith and watch as God carries you from glory to glory. Even if you fail God will be right there to catch you.

And remember… YOU are FEARFULLY MADE
