Whoa bro...tough words!

 So, here I am at camp with the youth from our church. Went to service in the chapel last night totally ready to get my Jesus on. And then it happen. The speaker drops a truth bomb that really made me think and kind of shook me. His  words were, “If  you are a worrier, then you’re acting as an atheist.”
 Well bro, ouch. Why does it hurt so bad? Probably because I was currently sitting there  with a daunting worry of my own. My thoughts and my concerns were consumed by this one task that I am truly afraid of.
 If anybody knows me, you know that I’m a control freak. I like to plan out a day and know what’s coming next so that I can prepare myself for whatever is to come. That’s pretty much the opposite of faith. God called us to truly trust Him and sit back and relax knowing that He has our back. It’s super hard for me to do. My insecurities jump out and my fear of looking like a fool or looking like a less than I am it’s flashing bright as an alert to me.
But today I  choose to believe in him. I choose to believe he loves me enough not to embarrass me or make me look stupid. I choose to believe that he will not give me a task that he cannot take care of. I choose to believe he’s got me and he wants the best for me .
 Philippians 4:6-7 says Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation with prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your requests to God and the peace that passes all understanding will guard your heart and your mind through Christ Jesus. 
 So God, you know my heart, you know my concerns, and you know my fears. But I know that you’re the God of love and the God of peace in the God of all. You got this.  I choose not to be an atheist.

My Secrets

OK, I'm gonna get straight to it. I was wondering why it doesn't really matter if people find out secrets about me these days. See, these secrets use to keep me in bondage. They use to paralyze me. I isolated myself and chose not to make a lot of close relationships in fear of what others may think of me. Thank God I don't live that way anymore. But when did the change happen? Where did my boldness and confidence come from? This is what I have come to the conclusion of: the people that I know and have confidence to have my back and support me outweighs those whom I fear may judge and hate. And this is a good place to be. It hasn't always been this way. But God has brought Mike and I to a safe place. A place where people don't judge. A place where God is truly first and people actually strive for more of Him. A family. A place where I know people would stand up and defend us if anyone tried to attack. A place where we can talk about those secrets that once help us ca
