What we can handle...

"God will never give you more than you can handle" we say this so much as Christians. Why do we say this? Is it because we feel or think that what we are going through is hard or must be "a God thing" I believe we have those hard times because God is trying to get us to rely on him! So we could very well be going through something we CAN'T  handle. We need to rely on God more than just just think we got it all taken care of because he doesn't overload us. We often overload ourselves and need to give the load to God because we can't do it without him. Lets think of this next time we are in a hard time. Let's ask ourselves is this something I need to give to him, and the answer will always be YES! We need to give it all to him! So lets stop saying these Christian says to make ourselves feel better. Give to God and know it's being properly taken care of.

How do you impact the world?

Sometimes we get caught up in how we will be remembered, our impact on the world. If you read the picture I posted with this then you know that sometimes the world chooses how it will remember you. It picks the "impact" you have or had on the world. Now as Christians where should our impact be focused on?

When I was in high school my youth group was named "impact" it stood for, imagine more people at Christ's table. Now as a high schooler all I wanted to impact was my social life,but now as a wife/adult I see the world in a much different way. A way that does make me want to impact the world with a passion that only be described as God given!

Now how do we go about this? How do we impact a world that only sees skin deep? Do we just post perfectly angled pictures of our selfs on social media and hashtag it #truebeautycomesfromGod or do we actually get up and put down our phones and go be the light to our city? We can have 1,0000 people following us on whatever site but if we are not truly living for God then where does our impact, well impact? As a Christian woman in this world does our ministry only happen behind the perfect tint to our photos? How does that change someone's world? Are we sugar coating powerful words from God with lipstick , new jeans and the right hashtag? In the picture it says all the amazing things that woman did and the world only saw her as pretty. Now I see nothing wrong with people seeing someone as pretty, she is very pretty(photo below). But I do see a world that looked past good to see her face. In the world today we often do this and as Christians we can be the most guilty. We use world standards to get our message out. I have done it myself! Now my big question for you today is, how will your impact change the world? Oh and one more question, will you be ok with do God's work and never famous for it? Those are my questions. I think in this time we have to check ourselves and how we want to impact the world. God has put is for more than one reason,but each reason is about him. As it should be, so why do we make everything about is and our works for him.

My last thought is this, do your very best to love each person, do God's will, and with every step we take impact the world for HIM!

To be honest....

To be honest, I have times when I doubt God. I doubt that he hears me and has a plan for my life. I wonder why, why did you he give me have a passion for public speaking and I can't even get 10 subscribers on my YouTube. Why did you have Alex go into a police academy to be turned down by 3 police departments. Honestly this is a truly hard time in our lives. We love God, he is our Saviour, King and Father. I'm just wondering if our ears are plugged with our own will and dreams. Is this really a silent time or are we just not hearing.

What is your will Lord??? To be honest I wish I knew!

We pray soo mush as believers for the Lord and his will, but 9 times out of 10 we do what we want and cross our fingers it's what he had in mind anyway. Or we hear his plan/will and get scared out of our minds. To succeed in the plan he has is just too much for our hearts and minds to bear! Iam guilty of both! And not just in the past, but at this very moment in time. I know my call, I know what I need to do. But I'm scared, im sacred of the humans involved in my destiny. When I was 18 I went full force on my dream. The enemy came back at me full force and he used the people and other dreams I had in my life to take me down. I'm not gonna lie because of that time im a little gun shy.

I know I need to over come that and God keeps telling me what he wants me to do.

I was standing in worship one week at my old church, (God has lead me back to this church. So I've been going the past few weekends) and the Lords voice came crashing over me like a wave from a ocean storm. He told me that my dream he had out in my heart would come to pass, but I would need the people in the church. The same people that have made me gun shy to my dream. Im telling you all of this to get to this point, God is talking, he does have a plan for you, he is with you, a door is open. We just have to unplug our human ears, stop, pray, and be still.
Don't give up, just give it. Give it to God and don't look back at it. Trust that moment when he first gave you that fire in your heart for whatever you are wanting and praying for. It will come to pass. I never thought I'd be married. And if I got my way every time I "knew" he was "the one" I would not be married to a man who is better than anything I ever dreamed of! Hold on to his promises! To be honest they are amazing:)
