Miracles on my mind.

Why did Jesus perform miracles? It seemed to be a major instrument in His ministry. That gives me chills. I would define miracles as something no man could ever do. Like no man could ever feed thousands of people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish; and have leftovers. No man could ever turn water into wine. No man could take a blind man and make him see. Jesus did countless other miracles. I just have to ask "Why Jesus, what did you want us to take from the working of miracles?" Miracles are amazing and exciting but there is something else, I know it is. What does the performing of miracles do for our faith. I have miracles on my mind and I want to pray for some miracles for people this week. I wanna do this not because I need some excitement in my life but I wanna know and see how miracles bring glory to God. I wanna know How God desires to use miracles in the lives of believers today. I want to learn something new about God in this area, about Who He is and what He wants our mindset to be in this area. Deep in my heart I think many of us lead a boxed in life when it comes to this area. Myself included. I just think we box God in alot. I believe some of us have done it for so long we don't ever realize we are doing it. I can't speak for everybody but I have a heart that desires great things in my life, I want action, adventure, and big risks to take in living a life for Jesus. I wanna put myself out there and say "God whatever you wanna do, God use me, God use me".

Does there have to be a problem or something wrong with you for God to perform a miracle in your life. I don't think so. God loves to show us who He is, His power, strength, and glory. There is a quote from one of my favorite books that says "Nature is not primarily functional. It is primarily beautiful. In the world we live in, we evaluate and analyze way too much. Use men as a example. Men love to be strong on our behalf. Most good men, love to provide beautiful, nice things for their wife and loved ones. It's not because we've been so great to deserve these things. They do it because it's a part of their nature. They do it because of the fulfillment it gives to them. They get that from God. God wants to show Himself strong on our behalf just because it's a part of His nature. He performs miracles to show us how great He is. Miracles have everything to do with Who God is and nothing to do with anything we have done.

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone. It's not my place. I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see. Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest. I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. A thou

When we are troubled................

Have you have let the challenges you face, become a distraction for you? I have! Matter-a-fact, I'm going through it now. I hate it when I do that, because when you begin to let your heart become troubled about something, it's not long before fear begins to creeps in as well. Then I feel like it gets hard to focus on the other things you need to focus on, and it's hard to enjoy the blessings that you have. There is such a ripple effect when you let challenges trouble you. It leads to distraction, then, fear, then it starts to rob you of your peace, your joy and if you let it, it can completely consume you. God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence. There are 2 things in the bible that God tells us to guard: Our hearts and our mouths. We have to watch what we let come into our hearts and we have to watch what we allow to proceed from our mouths. Even though we don't ignore challenges, it's important we don't let them take up residence in our

The best fight ever...............

Marriage.................................It's not easy. It is a colorful creation full of ups and downs, highs and lows. And some desperate times. It cannot be done without God. It is His invention and only He can navigate you through it. But marriage is worth fighting for. You don't always have the energy to fight anymore and that's ok. It's ok to not be ok. It's ok to not be ok with your marriage. It's ok to not be ok with your life. Just know that not being ok, with your marriage, doesn't mean that it's over. Not being ok, with your life, doesn't mean that its over. In the last couple weeks I have struggled with temptations of epic magnitude. God has seen me in my struggle. Struggling with my emotions. Struggling with my desires. Struggling to stay faithful. He saw me. He didn't look at me and say "I can't believe you are thinking this". He didn't look at me ans say "I can't believe you are
