The ex files...

The fair is in town and for my small town it means the social event of the year. Where you will see everyone from your middle School art teacher to the ex you never thought you would see again. For me I see my ex boyfriends all the time I go to church with one and his cousin is another ex. So I'm pretty use to seeing them and saying the casual "Hello",but it can still be odd to see someone you once had feelings for. Even though I am married and very much in love. I found my self feeling very uncomfortable around and ex last year at the fair. It could have been that he was following my group of friends like a lost puppy trying to get my attention. (people always want what they can't have,cuz I'm not that cool lol) But I did end up having a quick conversation with the lost puppy ex and it was nice to have him ask about my husband and my life with him. And he now has a girlfriend a year later and I hope to meet her at the fair this year. So any people have hate or distaste for people from the past,but if we learn to forgive and see them the way Christ sees them then we learn to respect the good times we had with them and simply learn from the negative times. I know personally I am the person my husband needs me to be because of the past relationships I had. They had many lessons. And some if even carry with me on a day to day basis. "lost puppy" ex thought me so much about respect for my self. It came through many hard times with him,but I have that today and enjoy having a powerful love and respect for myself. But I say all of this with a warning, nostalgia isn't what it once was. Learn from the past don't live in it. I have too many people in my life that live in the past where it keeps them from the blessed life God has in mind for them. Ex relationships are exs for a reason. And 99.99% they need to stay that way. If you were unhappy with them in the past ,but think only about the good and dream of a day when you two will be one again  most of the time you are missing the lesson God wants for you and are replacing it with day dreams of lust. Learn and move on but you don't have to hate. Thank God for the good and bad and take the lessons with you in your next season in life. I thank God for my past,because I see now that only God can give me a future!

Be Blessed

What dreams may come

Over the past 10 years of my life I have wanted to do what Daniel could. I have wanted to interpret my dreams.

This may sound silly or a bit childish and I understand that but the other day while driving with my husband I told him of a reoccurring dream that I have been having since I was about 10. I've always found this dream to be odd. So when I told my husband I thought he would just laugh and tell me I was silly. But when I was telling him my dream I saw a look on his face that wasn't one of silly listening but I look of profoundness about to be expressed through words. And I am blessed to share this dream and the wisdom I got to go with it.

My reoccurring dream is one of me sitting in the backseat of a random vehicle going down a highway and realizing that no one is in the driver's seat I then quickly try and move towards the driver seat so that I can begin to steer the vehicle but I never seem to make it to the steering wheel I always find a reason to stay in the backseat. And when I explain this to my husband, he paused look straight at me and said "I think God is trying to tell you that you need to take control of your life." I replied with "how so?" And he explained that I have been very well taken care of my whole life and that it has in some ways allowed me never to truly try with my goals and dress because I always had a back down if looked like the road was going to be a dead end or hard.

And he is right! I will bail on a dream if it doesn't happen within a week or a month. But that kind of lifestyle is not the one I want to live anymore. My dad always told me. "Tasha, you need to work o. Your follow through. Because you suck at that." Again he is right. But the fact that both my dad and husband are right about these things I because I made my life that way and I Can make it anyway I want it to be. I have the choice to take my life by the wheel and control it or I can sit in the back seat and hope for the best. Buy I want the best and I want to be the best me I can me I can be. I remember hearing a story when I was younger. It was about a an that wanted to win the lottery and he prayed every day to win but he never did and finally he got so upset with God and yelled at him ,but came down and told him,"you never bought a lotto ticket!" I don't want to be like that in life any more. Asking buy never doing. It's time to work hard and see dreams come true!

The journey of friendships, saving the best for last.

Deena and Melinda are two of the most impact full and important friends I have in my life. And they were two individuals I never thought would ever become one of my friends. A great surprise from the Lord.

I met Deena when I started going to the 18 and older bible study her and her husband Doug hosted at their house. But it wasn't until she was the female chaperone on a retreat that I went on did we really form our friendship.  I was going through a nasty on again off again relationship that lead to me having a eating disorder. I thought if I was skinny it would fix everything that was wrong in that relationship. But as my body started to look worn and tired my emotional judgement went out the window. I was a all over the place emotionally and the stress along with the games both me and my ex were playing had me near a break down, but Deena stepped in with grace and love. She so lovely gave me advice and would with/for me. And most importantly she had my back when no one else did. She has had my back so many times over the years but she never fails to tell me the things I need to hear. And that leads me to Melinda. She is like deena in a lot of ways. Always there and with many wise and completely honest words. She also became my friend after a hard break up. One Sunday after church she came up to me and handed her number and told me to call her if I ever needed anyone to talk to. The support these two have given me over the years and still give me to this day shows me the kind of friend we all need in our lives and we all need to be. One that is honest, loving and has your back. Even when I'm wrong they love me. And I want to show the same love and grace to those around my life and in my life.

So thank you ladies I couldn't have asked for better people to have my back and call friend. I hope one day I can return the love and support!

The journey of friendships part 2...

I believe to have better relationships with others you need to first be your own best friend. To know ones self and love yourself is a hard journey for some, myself included. But now that I'm 27 I want to stop with the comparison to others and really take time to get to know me. I want to truly enjoy who iam as a person. I want to get to know the woman God made me to be and fall in love with her. And I think we all need to take time to the same with ones self. Take time away from the distractions in life and get to know you! You are the only person you can never get away from, so why love yourself and become the friendship you have always wanted. So below I have listed 5 things you can do to start a new relationship with you. As funny as this sounds I believe when you learn to be yourself and love it others around you will treat you better and have more fun with you because you will treat you better and have more fun in life.

So here are your 5 steps to being your best friend!

1, take time to be alone.
I love drives in the country and lucky for me I live in a small town that has plenty of back roads. When I take this time for myself I can clear my head and see what really matters at the time. And learn more about how I feel when it comes to life issues.

2, talk to yourself
Who is going to want to talk to you if you don't even want to hear what you have to say. And I don't mean walking around town full on speaking out loud,but keep your inner voice going all day. Say positive things to yourself when you are having a down moment. Put a quote on your bathroom mirror and say it aloud every day. Becoming comfortable with saying how you feel will pay off in moments that would normally bother you.

3,try new things
For me I can get caught up in the day to day stuff but if you set aside 10 to 15 to play a new game, try new make up. Or even set a new goal to work towards then you see yourself in a totally different light. Do something you are comfortable doing, something that will push all comfort zones aside. For me that means tranning for a body comp. I'm taking year to do. But I want to do something I know will be hard for me to learn more about how strong God really made me. It's going to be a hard road but I'm excited to see what I will learn along the way.

4, eat by yourself
Going to a restaurant alone is one of the biggest no's to a woman. But it will get you in the practice of enjoying being alone. Food is always enjoyable so why not start with something yummy!

5 start a journal
Keeping a journal will start the habit of really seeing your thoughts and emotions for what they are. Often we let these two things rule our lives,but if we have a time of reflection every day we will learn to stop and use this new skill in every day moments. Which will help in better decision making. And better more true to yourself decisions will lead to a happier you!

I hope you enjoyed these tips and have a blessed day!

National best friend day 2015...

I woke up this morning and saw that it was National best friend day. What a great thing to celebrate in my opinion. Friends and best friends are some of life's greatest blessings. And how awesome is it that it's during our journey of friendships! God is full of wonderful surprises in his plan. Because to be honest exploring my friendships is not something I wanted to do but it was something God wanted me to do. And I tried to talk him out of it, especially when he told what friendships I was to write on. But he knows best. And this week I get to write two blogs, And I love writing! So this week is already blessed. But let's take a look at best friends since today we celebrate them.

In my life iam abundantly blessed with 3 best friends. My husband Alex, my sister Jessica and my Becca. They all bring beautiful and unique things to my life. And Best friends should bring beauty to your life. To have these wonderful people in my life and to have very different relationships with them shows me alot about the different types of friendships one can have. So let's take a moment to look at all 3.

Let's start with my husband. A man like no other. Smart, strong and true to his beliefs. God has told me that he will be like jacob. And he loves me the way jacob loved Rachel. He is also smart like jacob and knows how to get what he wants and needs. And he is also very wise. He will come out of no where with words that would make Billy gram take notes. He brings all of these wonderful gifts to our marriage and friendship.  He is strong when I'm not sure how to be, he loves me with a fire that could never dim. And has a relationship with the Lord that makes you wonder how yours could become that true. Each day this an teaches me something new. As a friendship should, they should add to your life never take from it.

My sister Jessica is a woman like no other strong in will and purpose. She is driven and nothing can stop her once her eyes on the goal. I love that about her! As kids she did everything crazy and loud. But she was always happy and had many friends and people around her. Her energy brings something to the table of life most people long for. She has tough me to be myself and always try new things.

And now my Becca, a woman who angers me and makes me love her more all in the same moment. Becca has a heart of gold and has such a spirit of evangelism. She wants to be friends with everyone and save them from the hard things in life. Plus when this woman sings to the Lord it melts away any wall you have built up and she brings you to a place where you and God can be together. I love our talks, they don't happen as much as they use to, but when they do happen I am at such peace.

Each one of my best friends brings something positive to my life.They all bring love and acceptance. Buy the best thing about them is that I see God in all of them. He uses each one to show me his love. And I hope I do the same for them. Be blessed and make sure you tell your best friend why they are so special to you today!

The journey of friendships intro blog..

Sometimes God has friends put in your life to bring you closer to him and sometimes he separates you from a friend so he can fill the space in your life where that the friendship was occupying. We also need to still stay open to a separated friend having a comeback in our lives. God may use a comeback to change the game! But always remain in prayer during any of the above mentioned friendships.  Because with out God in the lead and middle of any relationship the relationship will fail or take a turn it was never meant to take.

Tomorrow I will be sharing a very hard am painful friend separation. A little back story of the friendship so tomorrow's blog with have more impact and explanation of why this was so hard for.

My friend and I have known each other since our Jr year in high school were we sat next to each other in English class. O adore this woman to this day and we have had many bumps in our journey of friendship. We had another falling out due to a boy who thought he could have two girlfriends at once and then it turned out they were friends. God had me drive from our little home town to a big city near by to repair the friendship and then time came in a separated us and when he placed her on my heart again many years later we became best friends and I felt God saying this friend was from him and we would do and have a mighty ministry together. Days before our first big event the separation we are now in took place. So tomorrow we will go over what happened and what God has and is showing me through this time.

The journey of friendships

I want to be the kind of friend iam called to be. I have had many friends on my life and I think God has used them to teach many lessons about life and my self and this next month I want to take you on the journey of discovery. We will discover what God has for me to learn from some key friendships I have had and still have in life.

"Friendship is unnecessary like philosophy, like art...it has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." -CS Lewis

Romans 12:10
Ruth 1:16-17
Job 2:11

Like a lily...

"Like a lily among the thorns is my darling among the young women." Song of songs 2:2

This has been one of my favorite verses since I was a young girl. I clung on to it many times when I didn't fit in because of my faith. I have always wanted to be God's girl. A good daughter to him and loial in serving him. I have held true to my beliefs and at times it had caused me to sacrifice alot. But I wouldn't change anything.

Yesterday my husband and I were sitting outside at his parents ranch enjoying the day/weather. When he started to play fetch with the dogs. And when he raised his arm to toss the ball his tattoo showed. I have seen this tattoo many times in the almost 3 years of marriage, but yesterday it caught my eye in a new way. Because on the inside of his arm where he has the bottom of his tattoo there is a bright blue lily. This lily is beautiful and truly stands out in many ways it's color tho is what caught my eye and caused me to wonder about the lily. So I asked my husband what a lily represents. "Humility and devotion " is what he told me. A few things that make up true beauty and make a woman stand out among others. True beauty comes from the things that make you stand out, not blend in. Hold tight to the things God has given you that make you stand out. For they make you...you and you is beautiful. Be a lily among thorns!

He has the whole world in his hands...

I work with disabled adults in my community and my current client I take once week to sung to Sr citizens at a rest home. And we sang "He had the whole world in his hands" and I sang this song many times as a child growing up in church, but God spoke to me through this simple song. And what a nice reminder as well that our faith or the way he speaks to us can be calm and simple and still have a big impact!

But what the Lord showed me during the the verse "had you and me in his hands" is that he does hold us each day, we are in his thoughts and he has our life close. He has you and you positive moments as well as your sad, mad, disappointed ect... moments in his hands and like the carpenter he was on earth he works with his hands and he is doing a work in your life and he is sanding down the sharp corners and reinforcing your weak points to show off his strong points and that he makes all lives beautiful. A table might not always look beautiful when it's being made but it's with the carpenter's skills and caring for his craft he turns plain old wood into something beautiful to be enjoyed by all who see it. Just as God does with us. He holds you in his hand because he is taking your old life and self and making you something beautiful!

Colossians 4:2-6

Colossians 4:2-6
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ , for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.  Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." 

So much can be taken from these verses, when reading it this this morning I thought of the people in my life that know and don't know the Lord. The walk or lack of a walk with Christ and it has awakened so much in spirit that I can't form my emotions into words yet. Has a verse or vision from God ever done that to you. So much has been revealed that words can't be made to explain all that has happened to you in those moments? Iam excited to see what God is about to do in the lives around me and that I get to see and be apart of it.

God has already won that for you...

Battles come in life and if you are saved they come more frequently. The enemy is always trying to get our attention off God and on to the battle. And I know why, the battle seems too hard and full of too much pain. He tells us lies when we are sitting in the trenches begging for some peace to come. He never wants us to realize that the battle and war have already been won. Because if we realize that then he can bully us anymore. And that's what the devil is...a bully. A mad litter boy who didn't get what he wanted ao he is going kick, punch, and try to take down every person in his path to prove some kind of twisted point. He fails to see that with every lie and attack he only proves that God's love and mercy are real. So when you are sitting in the trenches or knee deep in mud on your battle field know that God has already gone a head of you and defeated what you are fighting. Keep your mind on him and his love for you. Because with him the battle can be a joyful one!

Single and obsessed...

When I was single I was obsessed with getting married. I knew God had called me to be a wife and with that I clung to the dream of marriage. But I took his promise and I turned into something a little scary and ugly. Getting married was all I thought about and prayed for. I was constantly on a emotional roller-coaster because of the obsession. One day I would be happy in knowing that one day God would fufill his promise and the next I would be depressed because the promise seemed too far away. I was never stable. Always up and down. Never trusting God even though I said otherwise. I also had a bad habit of making up God's mind up for him. A few times I thought God told me I was supposed to marry a man I was dating or wanted to date. "God showed me he was my husband in prayer" I said a few times. But I failed to really see what God was saying. And what he wanted me to learn from each relationship. Each relationship was meant as a building block to the woman I needing to be to be the woman and wife my now husband needed. I never married any of the entire God told me I going to marry. I feel like so many women in the church do this. We become overcome with the desire to be married that we forget that the men we want may have been called to another woman and the God we serve wants us to see the beauty of the season we are in right then. When we focus on what season we want to be in we don't learn the leasing of the season we are in and that keeps us from the season we are dreaming of. But know that what our worldly mind thinks and wants is nowhere near what God has for you! And you may every well marry a man you feel God has told you will marry,but if you are constantly thinking about it you don't have room in your mind for God.

When met my husband I had no clue he was my promise. And I thank God every day he is,but know that God will reveal his answer to his promise when he is ready and it's time. I spent many years looking one way for the answer and my mom often said to me "you would never know if your husband was right in front of you because you keep looking at the wrong things and your vision is blurry" and she was right when my husband and I compared our life time lines one evening I saw how many times we crossed paths. We were in the same room any times but I was too busy thinking another man was my promise so I missed seeing my real promise and live of my life. Please take this as a friend saying the same thing her mother told her. Trust God's vision for your life clear your eyes take off the blinders and stop looking g and just be. God has so much for you to be but obsessed with a man or something is not one of them. You will miss many beautiful sunsets if you are always looking around for a better view.

God and the Devils choice....

God made the devil,and the devil made a choice. His  choice lead to him falling away from God and out of heaven.
We all have a choice just as the devil did. Every day we wake up with a day full of choices to make. What to eat, what to wear, what to think, where to go and what you believe.

Why would God make the devil fully knowing what he would become? Was my question when I first thought about this blog,but then God doesn't force us to obey and worship him because that wouldn't be love. He just like the rest of us wants the ones he lives to chose to love him back not be forced to love him. That's not real love that's a slave and we are not his slaves. We are his children. Iam not a mother yet but I already love my unborn child and I'm not even pregnant yet. But with that being said I don't ever want to force my child to love me or make choices I want them to make. I want them to figure life out and love me by their own choice, Same goes for God. You may have someone in your life that is far from God and may have even denied God. But in that choice God still loves them.

To me the devil is another example of God's love. He made him because he loved him. Even though he knew what choice he would make and what he would become. Just like so many of us, he loves us enspit of us.

As I look at my thighs.

As I look at my thighs I see God's finger prints and wonder why he made them large and lumpy. But then I take a closer look and see as well as hear his love with every single thumb and finger print.
And it becomes clear to me that my thighs maybe large and lumpy by the world's view but in His eyes he sees a very different from of beauty. One that was made in heaven and refined by life here on earth. I have spent too many moments hating my tights instead of loving the God who made them. In life how many times do we hate or dislike what is going on in or around our lives instead of thanking the God who gave his life so you can have a more abundant one. Thoughts of my thighs and how imperfect they are have been on my mind more than I would like to admit. And those thoughts took the place of any moments with God. How far could you or I have gotten in our walks if we stopped thinking of things of this world like our looks and put that focus on the Lord and his plans.

I have come to realize...

I have come to realize that God has a better plan for me and my relationships.

I have come to realize that he put the people around me in my life for a reason.

I have come to realize that he knew I would be in drama at many points in life.

I have come to realize he is bigger than my world.

I have come to realize that he has called me to be a world changer.

I have come to realize that the hurt will lead to his Glory.

I have come to realize that seasons leaf to a life full of flavor.

I have some to realize that being a believer is a every day choice not a one time emotional event.

I have come to realize that the devil really does come to steal kill and distroy.

I have come to realize that my emotions can be best weapon or my worst enemy.

I have come to realize that God is for me, he loves me, and he is with me.

I have come to realize that I still have a lot to realize!

Depression....

Isaiah 61:1-3
" The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.  He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,  to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for the those who grieve in Zion-
To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of dispair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."

Many times in life you will find a verse or a few verses that dicribe your life or heart. The above verses not only dicribe my heart and my call,but now represent a point and helpful reminder from God. A few days ago I realized I was in a battle with depression and fear. Something that I battled many times as a young girl. But devil has no new tricks, he tends to use the same things over and over on us. But this passage was apart of my moring study on monday and I read it with tears in my eyes and my heart was awakened and ready to fight a true fight again. I let life become hard instead of seeing that I was only being pruned by the master gardener. Sometimes when we are getting pruned we become more vulnerable to attacks,but if we see those attacks as an opportunity to grow and become stronger then they don't look so scary. We have victory in all of our trails and battles because we serve God and his is our victory! I forgot this. And lost my footing in the mud of the battle field. I slipped and ended up face first in depression. I felt unloved, unwanted,  and unuseful.
But God quickly showed me otherwise when I read Isaiah. I am call to preach. Iam called to comfort. Iam called to be his daughter! I know this will be a year of favor in my life. I'm getting more involved in ministry at church and even lead a group on monday nights. So I will be more attacked the more I'm blessed. We all will be. But never let the attack block the view of the blessing!!! God knew the attack was coming and gave you all the tools to have the victory!
Grab your sword (your bible) and fight back! Your have the victory over anything with God by your side.

Saying goodbye to 26!!!

Today is my 27th birthday. The 1st day in a new year of life or a new adventure as I like to look at it. 26 started with soap opera like moments to the one where I should really right it down and see if General Hospital wants a new storyline. One of our best friends  (I say our as in my husband and I ) and myself got hurt by someone we trusted and I loved very much. I think the pain from those moments have turned into scars,but as a child I to an odd point loved scars they always meant you lived with no training wheels on. Just went for it. And now those scars mean something positive to me. They mean God will provide healing in everything and seasons are there to teach you not hurt you. And that season thought me so much about myself but the ones around me.

My 26th year also had amazing highs! My husband became the law enforcement officer he had dreamed he could be. I was blessed to pin his 1st badge on him in front of friends and family. That moment was like putting his wedding ring on him at our wedding. It simbolized a new chapter God had waited for us to enter. I could be more proud and honored to be married to a man with a calling on his life!  26 also showed me that love at first sight is a real thing. My completely amazing and beautiful niece ariya lynn was born and wrecked my heart with the amount of love it holds now. My sister Becca did so well in labor and thought me so much about love and being a mommy!

All the ups and downs of 26 showed me more about God's love for not only me but for those around me.  In my times of doubt where I thought he left me behind he would ever so gently remind me of his love and call on my life with his words and the words of the people he blessed my life with. I see those around me in a new light and perspective. I thinks it's more like God's perspective now. One of love and more mercy. My new motto for 27 is "To love my God to the fullest, be the wife iam called to be and make today it's best version"

Be blessed and know that whatever life season you are in the memory of it will make you stronger and closer to your call one day! Enjoy the bumps because HE is with you in them! Goodbye 26 and I'm glad to meet you 27 let's go have an adventure!

The labels I gave myself and the freedom I found

In life we claim that the world puts too many labels on us as women and to a point that is true but we never look at the labels we put on ourselves.

As a woman, wife, daughter,sister,friend, employee and believer it can be easy to become what ever hat you have on in any given moment. We become what ever label that moment calls for. I have done this too many times to count and it has made me more consumed by the label than who iam as a person and what makes me.. me! Because in being consumed by whatever label I have on the hat I'm wearing I have begun to put out all kinds of labels. And I let those labels define my day mood and life. Which held me back in life in so many ways. I became more focused on keeping my labels and finding new ones to cover up the hurt of not having certain labels. That I lost myself and couldn't see all the things that make me up and make me happy. I wanted to be perfect but wearing all those labels made me tired and stressed out. But not too long ago I confronted myself and had a long inner battle over many things and at the end of this inner battle was God. Sitting and waiting for his daughter to figure it out. So quite living and calm. As he is always is with me. When I realized my battle lead to another level of victory over strong holds and walls keeping me from my call I was thankful for the battle. Because now I know him and myself better and my life is no longer about the labels but it's about, loving my God,loving my husband and living each day to its best version. Ripping off labels we or others put on us will set us free to be the daughter God knows us to be.

Are you on fire or put out...

Too often our flames have been put out by life, hate and hurt. I know at times my flame has gone from a ragging beach bon fire that could burn down a whole city to a single flame that would barley light a dollar store candle. And up until today I didn't see my hand in this.

We pick what are fire or flame looks like. It's not the circumstances around us that dictate what are faith looks like. Things in life will be amazing and at times horrible. But in every aspect we have a choice. We have our free will and always will. Our free will is here in our hearts and minds to chose every day what life we will lead. Will you lead the life of a soul on fire, little light or the choice of no light  at all.
Know it's your picking. Because God gave you a call, Things to do in your life that are mighty and powerful and will positively impact the Kingdom of God!
You can't be a force to be reckoned with if you can barely light that dollar store candle. I know that sounds harsh,but its true because the enemy will blow you out in a heart beat if you are not living the heart beat of God and your call. know this to be true because I am slowly building my flame into a fire again.

I have let my fire turn into a tiny flame because of hurt and fear. my heart has  broken because of friendships and the hurt of those lost relationships has turned me into a fearful woman. Scared to be myself. And in doing this I have become terrified of my call. A call in women's ministry can be a scary thing when you are afraid of relationships. Because that's  what ministry is...relationships. and the relationship I have feared the most recently has been mine with the Lord. I love God soo much he is my everything. The reason I smile every day, the reason I have my husband and truly blessed life. He is my best friend. But in the past few years other best friends have come into my life like a tornado. Ripping apart my life and love for people. Which I have chose to let  shrink my fire to a flame. But recently I have felt and heard God so much and he has just been asking to spend time with me. He has missed his time with me. And I have missed my time with him. So much that I am holding back the tears right now so I can finish this blog. And reach my point  without over sharing and boring you!

So in staying on track I will explain what it looks like to rebuild the fire from a tiny flame. It comes down into two steps.

Step one: Spend time with him!!! Pray, read his word and listen to him. So much fire comes from hearing his voice! His voice is like a box of matches for our dry field like lifes. He will ignite our life. If we let him.

Step two: Don't give up! No matter what never give up on your Faith!!!

Speak out for healing...

In Matthew 9:20 this verse tells the story of a woman with an issue of blood and in that time was conciderwd unclean and was some what of an outcast,but this woman acts out in faith. God also asks her to speak out in faith. God made her and knows everything  that has and will happen in time. He knew who touched his garment he knew the faith she had in doing so but he wanted her to proclaim it and share her act of faith not just hide it away only to be known by her and God. God knows the battle we face every day as Christians and one of the most powerful weapons in this battle is our voice. Speaking out what God has done in our lives shuts up the devil and his lies. Speak out what he does shout his love from every roof top or side walk. Because  when we share what he has done in your life it Stirs up the spirit and empowers the people around.

Our lives are never lacking in praises. He is Constantly blessing us and growing us. Share and see how your life changes and the lives around you change.
