Song of Hope

Nobody gets me

Everyone will say you will always have a choice. At a certain point that’s true. On the other hand though its not your choice. You ever feel like in the middle of the storm you are trying to make a decision but everyone’s voice is around you ? If your like me they will tell you something like that’s why your to much of a people pleaser, or you should just ignore those voice’s. How am I suppose to do that though when those same voices take’s away my future my dreams and just my choices in reality. I would like to take back my own voice and make my own decisions. These voice’s have a major impact on me and maybe that makes me weak. One thing I do know is that I am smart enough to recognize how this effects me. I just want to drown myself in the music I’m tired. I will make a choice and someone will say something to take that choice away. Maybe I am not okay and I do worry about other people’s voices. They say be free and live out your dreams and than you tell them your dreams and they say how is that possible ? As soon as you try to dive deep into it and you hit one bump oh no that’s not possible. Like isn’t life suppose to be messy and challenging isn’t that why the dream is so filling once you achieve it. Than they ask why wont you tell me what’s on your mind ? Why would I so you can pick it apart ? Tell me how its stupid because you don’t understand ? I say forget that if you have a dream or even a little goal don’t tell people it if you know they wont understand. I personally wouldn’t tell you to believe in yourself because we all let our self’s down. In the grand scheme of thing’s I would say put your dreams and hope’s in God. You may not be a Christian and that’s okay because there is still room for you to grow as well and Jesus is right here with open arms. No matter how much you have sin God say’s in the bible that not only me not only you but all of us is chosen by God. He is the only one who is really there through anything you are doing or going through. So today or whatever day you want I encourage you to just allow Jesus to move in your life. You don’t have to feel pressure to read the bible everyday or turn it into whatever us Christians turn it into. Lets take are Christianity to how it was like when we was little kids Jesus loves you and it’s that simple just accept it and the rest will fall into place. Last thing Don’t turn to those voices turn to prayer and to God. Yall have a bless day.

Day 7

Point to ponder: it’s all for him

Verse to remember: for everything comes from God alone everything lives by his power and everything is for his glory Romans 11:36

Question to consider: we’re in my daily routine can I become more aware of God‘s glory?

I think the mornings is a good time for me to be aware of Gods glory because the morning time is always when I feel fresh and have a start over. There are 5 ways of bringing God glory that I have been researching.

1) We bring God glory by worshiping him.

2) We bring God glory by loving others.

3) We bring God glory by becoming like Christ.

4) We bring God glory by serving others with our gifts

5) We bring glory to God by telling others about him

These are all very important points to keep in mind because this helps us to fulfill our purpose which is giving glory to God. He is the creator so he wants us to find our purpose in life so he can shine through us. A big part of these steps sounds very very not selfish so I think the way I can give glory to God is really try to be as loving as I can to everyone. Then I can be a shining example for Christ.

Thinking about my purpose

Day 6

Point to ponder : this world is not my home

Verse to remember: so we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen for what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal second Corinthians 4:18

Question to consider: how should the fact that life on earth is just a temporary assignment change the way I am living right now

Knowing this makes my whole point of view change!!! It makes me remember how nothing on this earth really matters and that’s true !! When your a Christian there is not need to worry about anything because if your going to heaven after you die then nothing can defeat you. Death is the worse thing that can happen to someone in this world so if death can’t stop you because your a Christian and your going to heaven then what can. It’s all a huge lie from the world !!!! It blows my mind away !!! Somehow I still find myself worrying about dumb things though often but I can totally understand how remembering that we have eternity in heaven allows me to be okay on this earth. So why do we care so much when we know this truth ???

Day 5

Point to ponder: Life is a test and a trust

Verse to remember: “Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won’t be faithful in large ones” Luke 16:10

Question to consider: What has happened to me recently that I now realize was a test from God? What are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me?

Something big that happened in my life that I now realize was a test would have to be when I walked away from the man I loved. I loved him to death but there was a lot of things that just was not good in are relationship. He was a very jealous type and he wasn’t really serious about God. He wasn’t like a hater with God but he wasn’t to big on God. He was basically a Luke warm Christian. I did not like that part about him and I should have read the signs before going into the relationship. I realize it was a test now though because when I was with him I was living in sin daily. He was not really dedicating his life to God causing me to drift away from God myself. So this was a test of my faith because while I was in the relationship I was feeling distant from God but I still didn’t want to leave my love. I realize now though that because I left him God is sending more blessing in my life then ever. Not because he was a awful person or anything like that but because Instead of choosing my worldly flesh wants I chose to leave him and pick God. It was a hard decision to make but Knowing Gods love and his face helped me to truly go through with the plan because HE IS GREATER THEN ANYTHING ON THIS EARTH. Some of the matters God has entrusted in me would be to spread the gospel and live for his glory this is very important for us Christians because being a Christian is not about us but all about HIM. He is the creator and the all mighty God so he deserves the praise and the worship !!!!

Peaceful day with God

Today was a simple peaceful day with God I am so grateful for him and how amazing he is so here are some pictures from today to share his love hope you guys enjoy have a blessed day !!!!

Day 4

Thinking about my purpose !!!

Point to ponder: there is more to life than just here and now

Verse to remember: this world is fading away, along with everything it craves, but if you do the will, God, you will live forever 1john 2:17

Question to consider: since I was made to last forever, what is the one thing I should stop doing and the one thing I should start doing today?

We went ahead and did day 4 because we have missed a day so I wanted to catch up but this question almost goes back into what I was talking about in the last post. I should stop being on Snapchat !!! It does nothing but make me question my worth and makes me feel bad. Something I should start doing would be reading the Bible everyday rather it’s a little bit or a whole lot. Just finding a way to incorporate him into my daily life somehow. I am a very busy person with my sport and school but I should never let that over take my relationship with the lord. So ask yourself what is taking time alway from you and your lord ?

Day 3

Guys I have already missed a day !!!!! It’s okay though bc God has Gracie and we are back at it today!!!!

Point to ponder: living on purpose is the path to peace

Verse to remember: “you, lord give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you” Isaiah 26:3

Question to consider: what would my family and friend say is the driving force of my life? What do I want it to be?

Hmmm let’s see I strongly feel my friends and family would say my driving force of life would be me and my sport because that’s about all I do. I do love my sport though but I don’t want it to be the only thing consuming my life. What I want people to think is that God is my driving force. Myself personally wants to get closer to God and let him be my driving force as you can see above I have already missed a day. I think all Christians though struggle to be consistent so this is a shinning example on how we can’t be perfect and we never will be. That’s why we need JESUS !!! So I’m sorry for letting you guys down but we are here today !!! I really have been thinking about letting God be the driving force in my life and some of the things that are holding me back would have to be social media. Snapchat and TikTok are so addicting to me !!! I have to be honest with y’all. I still have not fully deleted them off of my phone but I have completely muted the notifications and it is actually driving me insane the fact that it bothers me. So I ask my self does this have more power over me then Jesus??? Idk but I’m working on focusing more on just God and Jesus. Snapchat has never been good for me anyway all it does is make me feel lonely or not pretty enough. I know everyone has went through the feeling of why am I on delivered and then they finally answer you and it’s literally the ceiling or something. Like I am honestly so done with letting that app control how I feel. The world makes you feel like without it you can’t operate in life but that’s a lie people can text you with a phone number on Facebook or lots of other things. Deleting Snapchat just shows who the real people are because if they truly care about you they will find another way to contact you. But most of all trying to find ways where I can really dedicate myself to the lord and I don’t always succeed but I know he sees my effort and I will keep trying for him. If I keep trying God will give me the strength I know it because that’s how strong my God is!!!!

Day 2

Question to consider: I know that God uniquely created me what areas of my personality background and physical parents am I struggling to accept.

I would say one thing I struggle with as far as my background is that I haven’t always had all the money in the world. There’s been a lot of times in my life where I haven’t been able to do something or almost fit in because of money. With my parents though I would have to say something I really struggle with is my dad he has schizophrenia and it is such a hard task to get to know my dad when he struggles with schizophrenia I’m slowly learning though how to except how this is who he is, and this is how God made my Dad to be. It’s one of the biggest things in my life that has been hard to accept but I have to learn how to love him where he’s at. Same with myself I think I struggle just about like other people you know I feel like sometimes I don’t look pretty enough or I don’t fit in but God is teaching me that I don’t need to bc my purpose and the love is found in him. If you guys want to share anything feel free to leave a comment I would love to hear and maybe even try to give some advice if not I completely understand as well !!!

Day 1 Thinking about my purpose

Verse to remember “everything got started in him and finds its purpose In him” Colossians 1:16

Question: in spite of all the advertising around me how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself

Message to hear: http://www.purposedriven.com/day1

Book- The purpose driven life Author- Rick Warren

Something that stood out to me in this chapter was when the author quoted “life is about letting God use you for his purposes, not your using him for your own purposes”. This really stood out to me because it put my head in a different head space. I think a lot of times I focus too much on myself healing, when being a Christian isn’t all about yourself. It’s about 1st knowing who God is and sacrificing yourself. It’s the total opposite of self love. God created us 1st so of course he knows us before we even know ourselves and that includes him knowing our purpose in life. God is the creator so without him it only makes sense for there to be no purpose in life. So I can remind myself to live for God and not myself by simply remembering that he is the creator he was there in the beginning when I live for God instead of myself I find more joy and peace. Every time I have been focused on myself instead of God it has always left me with questions and me deciding my own purpose. Which puts a lot of stress and anxiety on my back. So it’s better for me to live for God instead of myself because he is my guide. He takes the anxiety and stress away if I allow him to.
