Faith On Record

Galatians 1:10

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

When I started this blog a few years ago, I played it safe! I knew I was called by God to speak the truth that sets men free, but I was crippled by the fear of not being accepted and supported by the outside world. I lacked the courage and strength to stay true to my convictions that set me apart from the “ common “ Food Blogger. I was in serious danger of losing my God-given destiny. It wasn’t something I overcame quickly. Over time I had to learn to train and inculcate my thoughts to who God says I am. Every time insecurity whispered doubt and fear into my ear, I would fight back with the Word of God! It all started with this one verse … Matthew 5:14 “ YOU are the Light ✨ of the world. A city on a Hill CANNOT be hidden “ .

I read this verse and meditated on it all the time. I had it written on my chalkboard in my kitchen ( still do ) so I could see it every day. The more I proclaimed this truth the more I started to believe it for myself!! Fast forward to now. I no longer seek the approval of others when it comes to my faith and life. I seek God‘s approval and cling to his promises. I will never apologize or shrink back from who I am. I’m confident in who God made me to be and by his POWER I walk in Boldness and proclaim his Marvelous Deeds!! If God is for us, who can be against us?!  ~ Romans 8:31💫 Live by Faith – Don’t Run and Hide 💫

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?! ✨

Romans 8:28

God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Why doesn’t God answer our prayer for healing? The Bible tells us that God answers our prayers, and yet it seems as if we don’t always get that answer. In John 9 Jesus encounters a man who is born blind, The people assumed it was because of sin. They asked him ” Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? ” Jesus responded ” Neither ” !!! Jesus then went on to say ” THIS HAPPENED so that the works of God might be displayed in his life “.

Sometimes those prayers of complete healing never come… So we need to pray prevailing prayers. Not just prayers to get us by, but prayers to get us through. Prayers that strengthen and sustain us. We need to learn to praise God when the  answer is no and praise him when the answer is yes. He is working mightily behind the scenes growing and cultivating our character to embody the image of Christ. God is taking hold of you, he’s called you. His plans for your life are far greater than anything you can imagine. Just like the blind man…He’s using this to not only change you, but to Glorify his name. So no matter what we’re facing we can be encouraged that he’s working all things together for the good ☝? ( Romans 8:28 ).

Let go of your understanding ?…Trust him to refine and bolster your faith even by fire?. Gods Glory and Power have NO LIMITS!

Awake! Awake! Clothe yourself with Strength ??✨✨??

But he knows where I’m going and when he tests me I will come out as pure gold.

Job 23:10

Keeping my life in balance, trying to do everything and feeling overly committed can be so frustrating. It takes continual effort on my part to make sure my time is well spent and used wisely. Sometimes I feel like I’m living life fast and furious with no brakes. I get lost and consumed in the vortex of busyness and lose sight of what’s really important. The demands of life can be so immense. That’s why for me it’s so important to make God the center of everything I do. Making him the center of everything that I do is critical to establishing and developing a well rounded successful life.  I have to pay close attention, taking inventory of my priorities and legitimate needs.  Learning to be proactive and cutting down on things like social media that divert and diminish my effectiveness. Allocating more time for God, family, friends, rest, and hobbies. I can’t begin to tell you what this has done for my spirit and mind, its been a refreshing on my soul. Don’t settle for less and drift through life. Seek out and maintain balance. Really take time away to enjoy being still. Always keep the big picture in mind. Invest time for his purposes. Let him transform your perspective, He is the source and key to a stable and solid life!

Live in hot pursuit of balance and reach your (God given) full potential ????

John 13: 34

Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

When we bless others we will be blessed. Blessing and loving others brings us peace and joy! We live in a society that steers people towards selfishness. The more self centered we are the less capacity we have to love. It’s not an easy road loving the unloveable, but I have found that as I walk in love (as God commands me)… the feelings of love accompany. We have to abandon all pride, greed and selfishness and decide to obey his word. It’s not always natural or easy but the sense of accomplishment that follows is liberating. It’s a life long effort of visible actions with great reward! Don’t just scrape the surface. Lets ask God to teach us to love Sacrificially.

❤️ Set the bar, and Live to Love ❤️

Psalm 139

Oh Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise, you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down, you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in -behind and before, you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there, if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, you’re right hand will hold me fast. I say, Surely The darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you, the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts,  O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! They speak of you with evil intent, your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against you? I have nothing but hatred for them, I count them my enemies. Search me,  O God. And know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

What does it mean as a Christian to give thanks to God? I thought about that this week as I knew I would be writing this blog post. I felt stuck when I put my pen to the paper. I mean I love the Lord with all my heart and I’m so thankful for my family, for my friends, for my life, and for HIM most importantly. So I dug deeper and did a little searching in my studies.

Starting with a few scriptures  Psalm 107:1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! For his mercies endure forever. Ephesians 5:20 says this… always giving thanks to God the father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Giving thanks is so easy in the good times but what about the hard times? I feel like it’s so easy to focus on my pains and trials that I can easily lose sight of who he is and what he’s already done for me, and what he will continue to do for me. That’s why an attitude of gratitude is so so important. INatalie's Pineapple Candied Yamst draws me closer to him with a renewed sense of strength and power. Gratitude and Thanksgiving helps me to shift my focus on to God and away from my circumstances. Gratitude helps me to trust him when things look uncertain. Gratitude supersedes anxiety with peace.  Even if I’m not feeling it in the moment , choosing to express Gratitude with my words will eventually become a reality in my heart. Not only that but gratitude rejuvenates me spiritually, physically, and emotionally. So let’s practice having a Grateful /Thankful heart not just on Thanksgiving but everyday. Put your pen to that paper and start counting your blessings!! This is Gods will for us ??❤️

Psalm 103 : 1-5

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all of your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the Eagles.

:8-12

The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

~Yes praise the Lord O my soul~ ❤️❤️❤️??????

These cookies put a little twist in my hips??So Aaaaamazing!

Have you ever pulled a recipe off a blog , follow the directions exactly and have it be a total bust?! This was me last night! I was so excited I found these delicious looking cashew cookies online, spent well over an hour making them and they turned out flat! I could’ve cried! I literally had one hour before I had to be at a potluck for my Bible study. I had to rush to the store and buy stuff to make rice crispy treats instead. So frustrating! So Today I decided I wouldn’t let it get the best of me. I was going to take that idea and make it my own! Not only did I make it my own but I blew it out of the park! Chewy and sweet with a light salty crunch , party in your mouth?!! I say so??? The proof is in the pudding,  give it a try! ?
