Faith in a Storm!

Today I walked outside and saw a Rose in our backyard all by its lonesome on our bush. While staring at this rose it began to drizzle, not a lot just a little. God gave me an epiphany And I realized..My little Rose is outside just a growing in the cold. She's just keeps growing, she doesn't know if she'll live to see tomorrow. She doesn't know if the Sun will come and shine in order to complete her photosynthesis. But she has been provided for thus far, she just grows tall and realizes that she will continue to be provided for. 
So I named her Faith. Because even in the unlikeliest time, in the wind and rain she still stands...even if she seems alone she knows that God is with her. She looks frail but she's quite strong! That's the kind of Faith God rewards. Acceptance with Joy.
God is always taking care of us, and we still doubt. If God takes care of my little rose of course he'll take care of us. I believe that's why he allowed that little Rose to live at such an unlikely time, to show me that of course he'll take care of me, I'm his rose. And so are you..
This is my life...according to me. As a Christian girl
Do come again,
xoxo

Jehovah Nacham

I experienced my first anxiety attack at 16 years old...but at that time it wasn't something talked about like it is now. I had actually never in my life heard of someone struggling with anxiety. I didn't know it was a struggle come to think of it, I didn't know what it was. I just knew I was very afraid, and I couldn't explain why. I was shaking, red, and hyperventilating for no reason at all. I finally told my mom and we settled on calling it a nervous stomach because that was the prominent feeling. Nervousness in the pit of your stomach, a better word? Dread. Unexplained dread at that. Smh. Its a sickness and I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. This weeks blogpost is dedicated to anyone who is somewhere dealing with any type of anxiety its a terrible thing and sometimes you feel so alone in dealing with it. You are not alone. And I mean that in more ways than you know. Thats where this title comes from: Jehovah Nacham; The Lord your Comforter is  always th

Lemon Cookies In China

Last week I shared with you guys how I was in the midst of the biggest battle of my life, and the story that God led me too that comforted me. Helped me to realize that our biggest struggles come with the biggest promotions. This past week God’s Grace has shone through each day and given me strength.  2 Corinthians 12:9 says “… My Grace is sufficient for you; for my strength is made perfect in weakness… ” He gives us Grace, or the ability to handle every situation we encounter. When we go through things and then look back and say wow how’d I make it through that, well his grace was sufficient like he promised it would be. God graces each of us for our individual journeys which is why it’s pointless to compare ourselves to each other.   As I speak about God’s Grace in this post I’m referring to His unending kindness and compassion .  He saw me getting weary in my battle and he sent along what me and my mom call Lemon Cookies in China. It’s our little saying but it explains God

Do you smell smoke? Nope

Hey Y'all, miss me? I decided to take a hiatus for the month of February for personal reasons but I'm excited to be back. I was doing my reading the other night in the book of Daniel. Daniel 3 is the story of Shadrach Meshach and Abednego, its a short story but I do recommend adding it to your bible reading. Basically what happens is the King built a gigantic gold statue and told everyone when they hear the horn to worship it. Everyone did but the 3 I mentioned above who were Jews and served the 1 true living God. The King and his advisers grew angry and threatened to throw them into the Fiery Furnace. To this they responded "if we are thrown into the furnace the God we serve will save us. But even if he does not, we want you to know O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you set up."  Bold right? They said that to the king, in front of all his soldiers and knowing he had a furnace waiting.  Well as expected the king got even more an
