Just Some Thoughts...

Yesterday was a good day for me. But a huge part of my flesh was defeated, and that didn't feel good at all. It made me want to cry all day long. I had to obey God and correct a few people who were sinning and speaking falsehood in His name. I had to wait and not speak until He told me what to...
Lately, God has been hard on me, telling me to stop hiding my faith, and learn how to talk about Him, including the wonders I have seen Him do, and see Him do every day. To witness and to share His Glory. To inspire and to increase the faith of others.
But because the Church today is not what...
I had such a wonderful day today, praise God! I have the day off from work, and I started this morning deciding that I was gonna go for a drive with my mother and sister, and go see a church. It's the oldest wooden church in the region where I live.
I was a bit stressed though, because I'm...
This is a serious entry. Because I'm starting to take my faith really seriously.
God has been doing a lot for me for days now. Encouraging me and strengthening me (and convicting me and chastening me for some sins that just has to go). He has been sorting out the confusion in my mind, and...
I want to take my faith much more seriously. I have been wavering up until this point. Living in fear, and I was also convicted today of being too easily swayed by other people's opinions. But I've asked God to take care of it, deepen my faith in every way and make it much more steadfast. And I...
I had a wonderful day today. God blessed us with great weather. Sunny all day with just a few tiny clouds in the sky. Me and my sister took the bus and went to a few places in the area around where I live.
It was beautiful, and the Lord blessed every second of the day. He let me know just how...
I'm struggling to overcome a lot of doubts, and the Lord is leading me towards Him all the time, and He is winning this for me. During last year, a lot of people attacked me for my faith. For the gifts God has given me, for the changes He has done in me, for the knowledge He has taught me, for...
I have been struggling very much today. Feelings of condemnation and accusations, voices from what people have spoken that still haunt me. What if, what if, what if? What if they are right? I'm feeling like God is far away, not loving me, even though I can feel Him being right there with me...
My head is spinning today. So many thoughts, and God has been working on healing me. I am realizing how exhausted I am, and everything that has happened to me is starting to sink in. I'm no longer in a state of constant shock.
But I was reminded of 1 Peter 5:10 earlier today. :)
"And the God...
Jesus, my Lord, You are everything to me,
Please use me to set the captives free,
To preach the Gospel to the poor,
To let them know You are our Savior.
I want to live my life for You,
Serving You in everything I do,
Lord, be the hero in my story,
Let my life be to Your Glory!
I have...
I may be coming off as extremely random in my posts. It's just I'm going through so much. I love being able to share it with everyone though, and being encouraged by fellow brothers and sisters. It feels really great after everything I've been through. And it is helping me to sort out the mess...
God, what are you doing? Freaking me out even more!!!
Okay, so God has been helping me overcome my nervousness and fears a lot lately. Here's the thing, He showed me so much of His power and His greatness last year, it really made me flee. I couldn't understand it.
I came from having...
I'm writing this while having an intense struggle between the flesh and the Spirit. And between me and God. It's a wrestling match, and I know that God will win, because we both want Him to win, but I don't know how to forfeit.
I've been learning so much, so fast. And I want to share it all. I...
I hate my life. I really do. I hate everything that I have ever done, except the things that God has done through me.
And those things I cannot even grasp that they even happened. And they did. It's all been real.
I have so many things I want to let out. They need to come out of my brain. It...
Sometimes I think God is just in my life to make it plain weird. I'm only half kidding. I know that those of you who truly know Him know exactly what I mean. :)
Yesterday, I suddenly had a vision of Jesus sowing seeds on a field. One by one, and then they grew up, one by one. Then they turned...
When I talked to God the first time, and I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, I decided I was gonna follow God for the rest of my life, no matter what. It took me a few months to understand what that meant, because I had absolutely no previous understanding of the Bible. I had followed nearly...
I had the most awesome moment with the Lord today. Me and my mother and sister (who are living with me at the moment) were driving in the country side, just enjoying a wonderful day that the Lord had given me. We have a lot of snow right now.
I was reminded of a lot of times where God has...
I'm feeling a lot better today. Jesus is encouraging me and reminding me of everything that He has done for me and for the people in my life, and telling me not to give up hope though everything seems like a huge mess right now. It's just a storm, and He is not only leading me out of it, but...
I am dealing with so much right now. I can't believe how much pain I have. The Lord is healing me, but it is so unbearable at times that I can barely keep it together.
Everything came like a flood last year. The Lord warned me about it, but I couldn't understand it at the time. During the end...
I had a major breakthrough today. I have been through so much during the three years since I was adopted into God's family. More than anything I could have ever imagined. And my focus has always been on Christ. I want to live for Him, I want to preach the Gospel, win souls for Him, and know more...
