Your Path....

I wonder why God has his people go through trials and tests. Could not our lives just be easy and simple with no stress or overwhelming circumstances.

I wonder why Joseph (from the Bible) had to travel to the pit, prison, and then to the palace. How come God did not just let him jump to the palace?

This picture is so peaceful and beautiful. The water, sand and shadow seems so perfect. But I think that if our lives were so perfect as this picture then we would never develop our testimony.

Everyone's testimony is different. People have faced self addiction, family addiction, abuse, sexual immorality, abortion, and/or not forgiving. I guess I think that we face tests in life so God will see what we are made of, and if we truly love Him.

Today, as many people observed Ash Wednesday/Lent, I wonder how many people our going to give up something because they have to or if people are going to change something in their life because they want to engage in a deeper relationship with their savior.

Today I had the opportunity to attend an Ash Wednesday service. During this service I came to a conclusion that my time or being busy could/is causing a barrier between me and God because sometimes I allow my time to be so consumed with other responsibilities or desires and I forget to spend time with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

So today as we continue on our journey to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I hope everyone will take time out to engage in a closer relationship with Jesus, and if for some reason you may not know him I hope you will find Him. He is waiting for you to accept him and believe in Him (Romans 10:8-10).

So be Blessed and if God willing I be back again. So For now I am out....J

What is next?

So today I wonder what is next for me. How do you know what is truly next for you?

I think about my future and wonder where God will take me. I am starting a new phase in my life, today is my first day of fasting. I am not sure if I will make it but I know that with God I can do all things. I have decide that it is time to search God in a deeper matter, so these next few months ever week on Wednesday I am going to fast and seek God and find out what direction God wants me to travel.

I know the general area I will be ministering in. I am going to be a social worker and I have a clear path of what my passions and desires are, but how do I put those into actions and not just dreams. I know one thing that God gave me a heart for people that many people would not minister to and He has allowed me to enter places that some Christians would never enter.

The major thing I am working on is how to minister to the World and make sure that I stay righteous for God. For instance, how do you go out with an unbeliever and not engage in the activities they are doing but still relate to them.

So as I enter into my next phase of life I will definitely keep you posted on the struggles I face and the doors God opens for me.

Remember you can do all things with God, and when God anoints and appoints you for something he will make it work. Search out God on your own and find out what he has for your life.

Be Blessed, I am out for now --J
