A Season in the Valley: Addressing those Times of Struggle in your Faith

-
 The Hidden Place ~ Take me to the place where the little cabin sits within a grassy meadow with mountains all around facing the sea. The crystal white sand beginning where the meadow ends stretches forth into the cool water that beckons me from afar. I feel at peace here; unplugged and with no one around but just me and God. I feel free here from my heavy burdens. I needed this. This is our meeting place, hidden from the rest of the world.

This is a place that I envisioned when I was meditating one night. Sometimes we just need that time and space where we can just separate ourselves from the rest of the world to hear the voice of God more clearly.  

Like I mentioned in my previous blog, Sometimes I fall, we go through different seasons in our lives, and sometimes they are low seasons. Seasons where we find ourselves in the valley feeling; dry, weary, or altogether just distant from God. In this series of blogs that I will be sharing, I will be taking you guys through my valley moments. I am finding myself in a season where I feel like my faith is being tested and I'm sure there are other believers and even non-believers who are experiencing this right now. I know that through my experiences I am helping others and one thing that I have been repeating to myself is that healing and deliverance is a process. So, just keep holding on and pushing forward even if it is just a crawl because our breakthrough is nearer than we think, and giving up is when we truly are defeated but I choose to live and I choose victory! We can make it through this season together! 

Just remember that it won't always be like this, seasons change💞 Have a blessed Sunday and keep a lookout for the next blog of this series!

    Knowing the heart and character of God and remembering he's God in every season has given me renewed hope even in the valleys.

    It's great to conciously introduce our situation to our God for a change. Seasons definitely change, I'm glad our God doesn't. Thanks for the encouragement!

      Very true, he said he will never forsake or leave us, so he is always with us! I'm definitely glad our God doesn't change too and you are so welcome :) God bless you!

Don't Stand For Hate, Stand For Change

Galatians 5:13-15 " For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  But if ye bite and devour one another, take head that ye be not consumed by one another." I started my blog with this scripture because it really puts in perspective the current events of racial tension and police brutality against the black community, which has not started and will probably not end with the injustice and inhumane death of George Floyd and every black man or woman that has been wrongly killed.  Freedom is but an illusion in this world. Freedom is abused in this society. Where was the freedom when a man's last breath was taken from him? When is it right to take someone's life into your own hands? Isn't God the beginner and finisher of our fait? No, there is no such thing as freedom in this wor

How to be truly happy in a season of singleness (Part 1)

-

The first question to ask is: Are  you happy with yourself? How often do you guys come across a movie, novel, social media, or even real-life where a person is intentionally single and is truly happy? Not often right... it all mostly portrays relationship goals. I'm sure you've all heard about intentional dating where you are not dating just to date but have a goal at the end of it, which is marriage. Well... it's the same with being intentionally single except the end goal is to be the best version of yourself and to learn to love yourself, which is even more important to do before entering any relationship. Your season of singleness is so essential for your personal growth, attracting the RIGHT partner and entering a HEALTHY relationship and I wish that someone would of told me this before I even started dating! For this reason, I feel like it is my duty to share some insight on how to be happy in that IMPORTANT time of being single.  When making steps towards bein

From a time of being broken down to built up

-

Sometimes you have to be broken down in order to be built back up to the person that God has called you to be. "Break me to mend me again" is something I did not pray and ask the Lord for but it was what I really needed. For years, I struggled with my faith but it was not as extreme as this past year. The "good" difference with last year leading up to this year is that throughout my struggles I was able to encounter God more than I ever did before. It reminded me of this one scripture that says, "the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (psalm 34:18). God showed me that he was not afraid of seeing me in my mess and that in fact he did not want me to pretend to be perfect with him. It's also impossible to hide anything with God (lol), as he knows our every thought and what is in our hearts. God saw that my heart was burdened and he started to take away those burdens daily, as I felt it one by one being lifted off
