Fix my Eyes

Hey guys, I just want to share with you that I’ve been going through some trials in my life and if you read the previous blog you’d understand why. However I have chosen to change my focus and fix my eyes on Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who promised me life more abundantly. I have slowly but surely began to notice my anxiety diminishing, my fears, hurts and regrets no longer blocking me from reaching my destination It has been through trials and tribulation that God has used me and strengthened me as I am being molded into a new being, the person he has called me to be. I’m excited about my future and enjoying every minute of my present while no longer allowing the Devil to steal my joy by focusing on past short comings and mistakes. I believe that greater is the one living inside of me than he who is living in the world and because of that I live a life knowing that the joy of the Lord is my strength. I believe my purpose in life is to use my voice for his glory through singing praises, public speaking is also what I believe my calling is in life. I battled a speech impediment when I was very young and have spent so long hiding my voice, or trying to please the world rather than God. However I’m taking charge over my life no longer allowing the enemy to shut me up because the righteous are as bold as a lion and like Katty Perry’s song, your gonna hear me roar! God has truly been moving in my life and has filled me with so much joy! If your at a turning point in your life or at the cross roads, and feel as if your playing a game of tug a war with your flesh and sinful ways versus God’s plan for your life and walking uprightly, just know that you are not alone.

When God calls for you to do something  outside of your comfort zone, you should trust him and do it! Many times it’s at the end of your comfort zone when true living begins, and it’s at the toughest times when a breakthrough is right around the corner. There will be times during your transition when you may become frustrated and ask God, “why me? I’ve done your will but nothing has changed, how will I fulfill my dreams and purpose? It’s perfectly fine to ask God questions like that but just continue  to trust him and endure, it will be well worth it! I went to a concert the other day, the You Matter Tour of For King and Country. In one of their songs, “Fix my eyes” they mention how the road less traveled is hard to walk, and how it takes a soldier who knows his order  to walk the road he’s supposed to walk”.That song really speaks  to me and I’ve chosen to fix my eyes on God his will and not my own. Where will you fix your eyes?

Heaven is Forreal!

Copyright, Sony PicturesA new movie is coming out Produced by T.D Jakes entitled Heaven Is For Real  starring Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo, Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, Thomas Haden Church as Jay Wilkins, and Connor Corum as Colton Burpo. The movie is a depiction of the book Heaven Is for Real which sold over 6 million copies.  It is a story of a little boy (Colton Burpo) and his astonishing trip to heaven and back after a near death experience. So far the movie has received a lot of mixed reviews some love it other’s are more skeptical about the validity of the film as it relates to the Bible’s description of heaven. Others found it refreshing to see a Christian family being  portrayed realistically in a major motion picture as normal people facing normal problems and life circumstances instead of how they are often ridiculed and depicted stereotypically in films. I have not yet seen the film for myself however I am excited to see what the film has to offer. For those of you who have read the book, seen the movie or are interested in the story in general feel free to leave your feedback of what you thought! God Bless!
