Showing posts with the label get connected to God

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...

An Unwavering Faith

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...

Get Connected to God.

Get Connected to God.    As I sit here finishing up my bible study for the night, I cannot help but to reflect on myself.    A few years ago, I would not even pick up my Bible to study it. That is just something that I did not use to do. I called myself a Christian, but you could not tell by the life that I was living.    See, I went to church on a regular basis. I always have ever since I was a little girl. My parents took me, my brother and two sisters to church every Sunday. We did not miss a Sunday. My father was the pastor of the church, so he made sure we were always there when the doors were open. Yes I am a P.K (preachers kid)   So, I knew how to walk, talk, and act like a Christian.    I wanted everybody to look at me and say that they knew I was a Christian, just by the way I carried myself, but I was not doing what I needed to do to show God living in me.    It wasn’t until I went to college my freshmen year, that I wante...
