Breathe....Just Breathe.....

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

Lately I have been anxious; and there is no reason to be really. God has been blessing me: first with my job, with school (junior year is done!), and with a deeper understanding of where my ministry is. Yet, I'm still anxious. It's the No. 1 complaint any quarterlife will make: I'm single! In reality, if you look at it: I'm 26, beginning my career and finishing up school next year, the last thing on my mind should be adding more to my plate by thinking about being in a relationship. But from a Christian point of view: I'm 26!!!!! Lol. My main thing is that I miss companionship. I miss having someone to talk to everyday, go out with, have insider jokes with, etc. Every time I think about it, I look at it from the that point of view and I am ALWAYS reminded that God works on His time and He's always on time. So, what does this Bible verse tell me? Take a deep breath and talk to God, BE THANKFUL and let Him know what's on your mind/what you desire. Then He will give you a peace that even you can't understand. I know He's working it out, and that it will be more amazing than what I can think.....I just have to remember to take a deep breath and be anxious for nothing. Be blessed.

When Nothing Satisifies You.....

The song has been playing in my head all day. I guess its because I realize I'm at a crossroad: I am wondering where do I go from here? or even better where is God leading me? The feeling of being led blindly in the next chapter of my life is a sore understatement. But the good thing is that I'm not alone; I am not leading myself but being led by God. Also, many, many people have been in my place so I know the saying "been there, done that" will be told to me over and over. So the question now is not what is the next step but how can I encourage myself and others in the same situation as me. It's simple: I'll say that you can't go wrong when you go God's way. It's not easy, and it never goes as planned (that's for another blog entry) but it can't go wrong or be bad if God is in the midst of it. Today is the beginning of my Daniels Fast and I decided their will be a lot of things I will be laying before the Lord and bringing before Him in prayer. Also I didn't forget my promise to Stay Single for the Rest of the Year!  I'm excited for what the fast will reveal and do in my life. I'll keep you guys updated. Be blessed.
