Invade Me.

I had an epiphany today. It is something super obvious when I state it back, but had a very resounding effect when it all came clear to me. So think with me.
This whole episode started because of a statement in the women's bible study today. Beth Moore stated, "We often feel the (family) chains never fall off of us because they're in us." Now personally, I feel you can interchange the word family with other chains you feel are holding you captive. Maybe you are dealing with drugs, alcohol, food, anger or insecurities. These are all things that are killing our insides (physically and spiritually). So first, I think we need to put the chains in its rightful place...outside of the body. We need to remember that only one thing should be occupying our insides. That is Jesus Christ. Once we get everything back in its rightful place, confusion is cleared up and we are able to get our focus back what is real.
When we let Christ occupy our insides, it is Christ who lives within us (Gal 2:20). Then we can move on to a truth that is gives me much hope! 2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now, the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!!!
God is telling me two things today...
~First of all, I want to occupy your entire insides. Please let Me. Secondly, when you let Me invade you, those chains will have no option but to disappear. They will not just fall off of you, but theywill break off of you. I will end generations of captivity and complacentcy. Then you will know I am God.~

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. ...

Friends Forever..erly?!

   I just wanted to give a shout out to my friends today. I have some great friends. Some of my friends I haven't seen in way too long, but I love that our conversations pick up like we have never been apart. Some of my friends I have the joy of seeing more occasionally, and I love that we can share our laughter, our encouragement and our dance parties together. Either way, I have some great friends.    At the moment, I have a lot of friends who are hurting. You should know I share your emotions with you. Even though I know I can not possibly feel what you are feeling, my heart hurts for you. And do know this... I won't stop praying till I see a change in your life. You have now entered my circle of prayer and I continue to not only pray this season to pass, but I will thank God for you and the times that you put me in your prayer circle.   The fact is, we have all had our good times, but we have also seen or get ready cause you will see, a low. If...
