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?

Live, Love, Laugh!

In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.

~Abraham Lincoln

This quote by Abraham Lincoln is small but speaks volumes! It is very true because when you think about it to live doesn’t necessarily mean you’re alive if you don’t take a moment to step away from the chaos and stop to smell the roses for a little while. Appreciate the beauty of nature, Indulge in something you enjoy, appreciate the small things you normally take for granted. When it all boils down, time is more valuable than money, time waits for no one so it is important to spend it wisely. Time goes by quickly so enjoy every moment of it the best you can.

If you find yourself dwelling on the hard situation you may be going through or experiencing always remember there is someone out there who is worst off than you and be grateful for what you do have which is what so many others out there wish they had. What you focus on expands so focus on the positive and it will increase your quality of life. Focus on some food for thought; What have you done for yourself lately? For others? For God? Ask yourself what choices have I made today that will impact my future and quality of life and if I consistently make these choices what will be the outcome? Most importantly LIVE, LOVE, and LAUGH!

Calling All the Messengers!

This is one of my new favorite songs! The combination of Lecrae’s smooth hip hop flow combined with the soft rock sound of For King and Country makes for an incredible collaboration! The lyrics really stood out to me as well as I am in a time of my life searching for my purpose in this world. This song reminds me to let go of the past that has been holding me down and to rise above it, and to let my light shine as a messenger of the ultimate good news! So listen up, maybe the lyrics will be an inspiration to you too, feel the vibe and most importantly TURN UP THE NOISE!!!!

Perseverance!

  Sometimes in life when you really want something bad you tend to try to MAKE IT HAPPEN instead of letting go and letting God take control over the situation. When you put your situation in your own hands and try to make something happen that is outside of God’s plan it only leaves you dissatisfied. Letting go and letting God does not mean stop trying to reach your dreams and goals all together, it just means trust God to open a door when the moment is right don’t force anything to happen, just keep calm and persevere! Hebrews 12:1-2 says, “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”
