Faith On Record

Walking out my faith here on my blog is not the easiest feat. In fact l’ve had to let down some serious walls and barriers that could potentially hold me back. In doing so it has opened me up to judgement and criticism. It makes people uncomfortable. However, I have also had so much love and support and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Let me tell you, I have faced my greatest opposition from people in my closest circles. As hard as it is, it doesn’t come at a surprise to me! I knew when I started this blog that this would be my reality. Jesus states in John 15:18 “ If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of this world, therefore it hates you. Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you”. 

 

Truth

As difficult and daunting as it can be at times, it’s also so exciting! It is what makes me thrive! It is what gives me the power to live in freedom without hindrance or restraint. I will never give up or give in. God has given us freedom and victory over those things in our lives that so easily try to entangle and bound us up in heaviness. One of my go to scriptures on freedom is found in 2 Corinthians 3:17 –

“ Now The Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom “.

Knowing that God sent his son Jesus Christ to purchase our freedom with his blood and forgive our sins is what motivates me to be free to do what God has designed me to do. We are no longer slaves to the past, present, future, anyone, or anything. We are free!!! So as Luke 10:3 says,  “ Now GO, and remember I am sending you out as lambs among wolves “. 

But also remember – 

1 John 4:4 “ Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world “. 

I have been through so much with my health. It’s part of what inspires me to do what I do… I won’t hold back what God has done in and through me, and neither should you!! I want to encourage you to live free… step out boldly and confidently. 

Go the distance ✨❤️

So are lets dig into those Gluten Free Neapolitan Mini Bundt Cakes!!!

Gluten Free Neapolitan Mini Bundt Cakes

Growing up I had a couple favorite ice creams. Neapolitan was on that list. These Neapolitan Mini Bundt Cakes are a blast from my past! I had so much fun developing the recipe. It took me 4 weeks, yes 4 weeks!! But, they are perfected and delicious and would make such a fun birthday treat or any occasion for that matter. Not to mention I made them with a new gluten free flour I tested out by Namaste Foods. I was so impressed with the flavor and how fine the texture is. I also love that the flour is free of the top 8 allergens. So for those of you that are really limited, I have your back 🙂 … I know your going to love it! I have given you two options for your topping, a chocolate ganache or a strawberry icing. Hey why not do both?! Sprinkle  some love on top and you will be enjoying a trip back down memory lane.

Psalm 46:10

Be still and know that I am God

 

So often in my life I have let my feelings dictate my thoughts and actions. I have found that to be a very dicey place from which to consult my emotions. Proverbs 28: 6 tells us that “ He who trusts in his own heart is a fool “ Our hearts are inclined to sin. So when we are trusting in our feelings we are being misled; therefore , fueling anger, anxiety, worry, pride, distrust, vengefulness, rebellion, doubt, and on and on! This leaves me reflecting on Galatians 5: 22-23 ~ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. When we become emotionally inundated by our circumstances and the world around us, we lose sight of God’s awesome power! With that said, we can’t live by what we feel. We need to live by the word of God! When we are thinking God’s thoughts we are thinking the most solid powerful thoughts there are !! So let’s not be led by our unwise, ungodly feelings. Let’s be led by the wise counsel of the Holy Spirit!

✨ Feelings vs. Truth … Which one gets the vote?! ✨

Black and White Sugar Cookies

For I know the plans I have you declares the Lord , plans to prosper you not to harm you plans to give you a hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

With the New Year fast approaching and resolutions being developed and refined, I sit here meditating and fostering my own intentions and goals. As I do I  quickly realize I have only one that really makes a difference in every aspect of my life, and that is to chase God like never before!! I want every step I take to begin and end with him. When we walk in step with God, completely surrendered and guided by him, nothing can shake us. We are solid and secure with our feet planted… standing on a firm foundation! Not only that, but when we chase God and not what we want … an abundance of blessings and favor will be poured out into our lives that there will not be enough room to store it!! So here’s to the New Year … Old things have passed away, Behold the new has come!! ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

Chase God, and discover rest and favor inconceivable!!!  🌟🙏🏻

1 Peter 5:10

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Nothing that happens in our life is wasted. God works all things together for good. He uses those setbacks, frustrations, and difficulties to glorify His name and display His work in our lives.  I never really understood what good God could bring forth from all the health struggles I endured over the years. Looking back the evidence is so clear. He was refining, perfecting, and preparing me to go all the way with him. This purifying process was equipping me for greater things to come… skimming off all impurities and building in me mighty muscles of faith! We’ve been called according to his purpose and we have a destiny to fulfill. No matter what life throws our way, we can take confidence and assurance in the fact that God has a master plan and he will use it for the good… It’s without question! God is all powerful, will you trust him enough to hand the reigns over to him?

 

🌟 We are the Clay and he is our Potter, molding and perfecting us  🌟

Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins Topped with Candied Pistachios

 

Luke 11: 28

Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.

Obedience to God means doing whatever it is God calls you to do without indecision, reluctance or hesitation. I feel like a lot of times I struggle. I struggle with replacing Gods plan with my plan. Reasoning it to the point that I actually believe my plan is Gods plan ( disobedience ) … Or I know exactly what God has called me to do but it’s scary, uncertain, risky … there’s a lot of what if’s?! So I substitute and contend Gods plan for me with something that seems a little bit more comfortable,  a little bit more secure ( partial obedience ~ blending my plans with his … then I can’t perceive the difference) . I am now defeated because I have deceived my own heart and disobeyed. I have choked out the truth because of a lack of obedience and or partial disobedience… both of which displease God. So what must I do?!
Submit and Comply to his authority. Don’t procrastinate!! Listen to what his word says, pray and meditate on it . Wholeheartedly commit to obey without reservation. James 1:25 is flawless … ” But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it – not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it – They will be BLESSED in what they do. ”
It’s never too late! Stop resisting and start delighting in his ways. Your peace, joy and blessings are in jeopardy

Start Behaving… Disobedience carries a High Price Tag :0

Double Chocolate Brownie Flax Bites

 

Psalm 63

Oh God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth. They will be given over to the sword  and become food for Jackals.

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God’s name will praise him, while the mouth of liars will be silenced.

Flourless Pumpkin Chocolate Peanut Butter Flax Muffins

 

James 1:12

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

I love what Joyce Meyer has to say about times of opposition in our life❤️

~ God is more interested in changing us than he is in changing our circumstances. He does not delight in watching us suffer or have a difficult time, but he does delight in our spiritual growth. If we are honest with ourselves we must admit that most of our spiritual maturity develops during the hard times in our lives, not during the easy times. Opposition stretches us. It stretches our faith, teaches us not to trust in ourselves to solve our problems, and gives us compassion for other people who go through difficulties. The apostle James said that our trials will eventually bring out patience and that once patience is fully developed in us, we will lack nothing. (james 1:4)

~ Joyce Meyer

I don’t know about you but for me going through the circumstances life has thrown my way has really taught me how to endure, not only to Just endure but to endure with joy and a good attitude! I think that is only due to the fact that I now know that everything that I go through … God allows , and he ultimately will work it out for my good as I continue to trust in him. His ways are perfect. I want to live a life worthy of him, so I will continue to seek him first.

Keep praying… Keep Seeking
