Showing posts with the label Faith the size of a mustard seed

Being doers and not just hearers.

  So, as I am sitting here at work, I had some down time and God placed on my heart James 1:22 which says “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” Now I have heard that scripture plenty of times in my life, but I never really dwelled on it.  Now before I go into my blog, if you have not read the book of James I suggest you read it. Now God has been dealing with me on a lot of things lately. But it was interesting that this particular blog I started writing last year.   But why did he bring me back to this blog?  I simply needed it at this moment.  As a Christian there needs to be an understanding about God's word. He wants us to study his words and know his words so we can apply his words to our lives so we can out  lives for him. How good is it that we read the manual on how to put something together, and we toss it aside and put it together like we want to?    It's not going to come out right. Same thing wi...

A Test of Faith

You know, the past week has been one of the most trying times for me and my family. We had to go through the most emotional weeks that we have ever had. To be honest, I thought I was going to go insane for a while. I wanted to pray, but I found myself in a state of not knowing what to pray, or even how to pray for the situation.   It was hard.

I had a very hard time expressing my feelings. I kept them inside because I honestly didn't know how to feel.  But then the Lord had to show me something. He had to show me who he was. I mean, sure I know who God is, and I know what he can do in certain situations.  I know what the bible says about having faith and I have done a lot of blogs and videos on having faith that I should not have a problem with anything.  But when God puts you in a position ...

Back in May of this year, me and my husband took a trip for our 14-year wedding anniversary. We went to Virginia Beach like we do every year for our anniversary.    I remember this trip, because it was at a time in my life where I did not know how I was going to make it. It was hard for me because I felt lost.   This was a chapter in my life where my faith was not strong. I had so much going on and I did not know if I was coming or going. I was just getting over Covid 19 and my relationship with my husband was not the best.    But I knew I was beginning a journey that I have never been on with God, and it was scary. He was telling me what he wanted me to do, and I questioned him every step of the way.    Sure, I was telling everybody through my inspirational videos to have faith and let God show them what to do, but my life was a mess, and I could not give myself whole heartly to God.   One of the things I question the most was why me? Why would y...
