Beautifully Restored

Have you ever felt like God has been directing your life down to the very thoughts and feelings that you have?

One thing that I have learned over the years is there is A REASON FOR EVERYTHING!!!

God doesn’t lay a desire on your heart to tear it down. I encourage you to think about those desires as a blessing! God is working in your life and wants to give you all the desires of your heart and more!

May we lay our life down into Gods hands, for HE is so powerful and will satisfy all your needs.

When we trust God fully in our lives, we have nothing to worry about. I know that may seem easier said than done but it is the God’s honest truth.

What God has intended for your life is beyond your level of comprehension.

Our job is to only trust and have faith that God will will complete His purpose in our lives for His glory!

When we are on the path of goodness in our life, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up – Galatians 6:9

Fight for what is good and hate what is bad. Love without borders and trust with no limits.

God’s love is perfect and everlasting. We can do all things through Him and He will never leave nor forsake us.

God considers you His child! Why would He intend any bad on your life.

He never ever would. He wants what is best for your life and for His kingdom.

Trust where He leads your heart and your desires. There’s reason behind it. He has something big in store for your life.

When a new desire comes to your heart, be excited! It’s truly a beautiful blessing to have God direct your steps.

Hello sweet friends! This morning I woke up and felt so grateful for all that God has done in me, and what He continues to do in me.

As I get older I see more and more how blessed I am and how good I really do have it.

Sometimes in this life it takes everything to look at the positive side instead of the negative and the bad that is going on in your life at the time.

You guys, I understand and I will always be that person to try and point your blessings out instead of your burdens.

Everybody has burdens that come creeping into their lives, but its all about how you handle these burdens.

Do you get all frustrated and feel like there is a target on your back? Or do you look at it as God is working on me and I will get through this with His help.

I think a lot of people fall is in that process. The way you look at a problem.

To God there is no problem that could ever take away His path for you. He is THAT GOOD!

You guys, when we start to look at things with God in mind, that’s a brand new beginning in your life!!! A beautiful beautiful beginning.

When you KNOW in your heart, soul, and mind that God has got you, EVERYTHING CHANGES.

I know how easy it is for the world to get you down and make you feel less than who God says you are! That is evil and that is Satan all day long.

Say yes to a brand new beginning and when a burden hits you, look at it in a completely different way! Pray about it and give it fully to the Lord because when you let Him own your life you will have a new sense of purpose.

What is true happiness to you? What does it look like in your eyes? Is it what you own? Is it your family or friends, or even both?

Sometimes it is funny for me to look back on my life and think of all the pointless things I used to hold higher than God. The dumbest of things.

I would find that my next best phone was something I held higher. Even just the little things. I had very bad OCD as a kid and that has always held me back in a sense until now.

I have learned so much through my dog Luna and I truly do think that God put her in my life to help me with my OCD because that took away so much joy that was right in front of me.

I have gotten over so much of my OCD issues here in the past 3 months. Its so incredible and I give all that glory to God and I give Him all the credit. I prayed and prayed to ask God to help me with this because it held me back for so long. I would sit in my room and fixate on one small little scratch on my phone. Guys it was bad.

As time has gone on though, I have learned that nothing in the world can satisfy my heart the way Jesus can. There is a reason for this, though.

God wants us to run to Him to find relationship with Him.

If we found true happiness in worldly things, we wouldn’t need God.

But that is so far from the truth. Our hearts were meant to need God. We were created by God for that reason. Our hearts long for God even in the times when we don’t see it.

It’s those random times when we feel discomfort and all of the sudden start to feel a void. Like something is missing.

That’s God trying to tug on your heart. He is whispering, “run to me” “come be with me and let me satisfy all of your needs.”

Its always a work in progress for me to stop and remember where my true joy comes from but honestly, it just gets easier everyday that I put Him first in my life and pray for Him to take over my life.

I no longer live for myself. I am living for Jesus and Jesus alone.

He died on that cross for me. Must be that He took me very seriously. So now it is time I take Him seriously and live only for Him and spread the amazing news of the gospel to others.

I want other people to find the joy I have found. It is a beautiful thing and something that is completely out of this world. Trust me on this one.

You know, here recently I am realizing how easy it is to fall on your knees and feel like you can’t go anymore. You feel lost in direction and you can start to question your purpose in this big world.

Well sometimes, it takes a step back from your plans for your life and go back to God and align yourself with who He say’s you are and continue to pray that His will to be done in your life.

You lay down your worries, concerns, and even insecurities. Thank Him for all you do have and restart. Restart and remember why you started the work that God has given you.

Sometimes we struggle with finding our purpose, but yet we have to remember that we woke up another day which means we DO have a purpose in this life and we have the choice to live it out with the help of our Lord.

It’s easy to want to just sit back and live in your comfort zone because that’s what I did up until now.

I realize that I am here for more of a purpose than to live “comfortably” in my little shell doing what I desire.

I am here to live for what God desires. I am learning though, that takes continuous guidance and prayer. We as humans can not do it without the help of Jesus. It’s impossible, but with God IT IS POSSIBLE!

Sometimes this may look overwhelming to us. Especially when we feel overwhelmed with insecurities and doubt. Some of the worst feelings in this life in my opinion. It stops us from running the race that God has set before us.

Hebrews 12:1 says “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”

Sweet friends, this life will never come easy. Ever. But we have a living hope that dwells within our souls, and that is the hope of Jesus Christ. He will hold our hands down every path we may wonder down. He will never give up on us even during our pain, doubt, and insecurities.

If anyone understands pain, its Jesus. He walked down the path of pain. But look where He got. He saved the world from their sins. What an amazing race He ran.

Let Him help you run the race that God has set before you!!!

Friends! I really want to write about something that I truly feel can help everyone in their day to day life schedule. With everything! Relationships, Work, and even hobbies!

Sometimes it’s totally unavoidable to get out from under the uncomfortable situations that happen in life, and not just the situations that happen in life but people who are negatively impacting you and your soul.

What do we do when we feel under pressure in situations and when we feel attacked by people in general?

Do we automatically get discouraged and want to curl up in a ball? Do we start to think poorly of ourselves?

I feel like everyone may have a different coping mechanism when it comes to uncomfortable situations in life. Whatever it may be I feel like I can help the uncomfortable into something that we can take and grow from.

Step one: DO NOT LET SITUATIONS OR OTHERS SHAKE THE SOLID GROUND YOU STAND ON.

You my friend are a child of the highest God! You are worth everything to Him and He will leave the 99 to come chasing after YOU!

Do you know that? Do you truly rejoice in that knowing?

If not, its time you start realizing your worth NEVER comes from this Earth. Nothing here and no one person here will ever determine who you are or who you are meant to become. That is ALL God!

Our spirit becomes flimsy when we let others define our happiness and contentment. We MUST stand on the solid rock of God.

No human can give us the same kind of joy and happiness that our God can.

The next time you face a uncomfortable situation remember the firm foundation that you stand on. Remember that Jesus walks side by side with you. Keep your eyes on the God who made the Heavens and Earth.

He’s got your back and will fight every battle that comes your way!!!!

Believe it. Rejoice in it. Have faith in it.

How many times have you thought about doing something that feels totally right for you, but don’t do it because other people say it’s too risky or probably not the best idea?

(Matthew 19:26) ²⁶ But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Well, for me I do this all the time! I always care so much about what other people think when sometimes I need to listen to what my Holy Spirit is trying to tell me.

Stepping out and doing something you have never done before can be very nerve wracking for sure! That is because it is out of your comfort zone and you’re stepping into the unknown. But sometimes that unknown is trusting what God can do through you.

We all know someone who has taken that leap of faith and has gotten a ton of success by doing so, but yet we tell ourselves we couldn’t get to that level of success.

SPOILER ALERT: YES YOU CAN

Now stop and think, what have you always wanted to do but didn’t because you were fearful of the result? OR you weren’t totally financially stable to do it?

Well, have you tried to take steps to get closer to what you have in mind? Have you prayed for approval and confirmation?

I encourage all who is reading this to believe in yourself because your God does. IF the thing you have wanted to do is led by God then I would say go for it!

I am in a place right now where I know I need to walk out in deep waters and trust that the Lord will provide and help me with what I have been wanting to do.

I truly feel that if your intentions are good and your heart is lined up with God that all things are possible and you will be led to places you never thought you could go.

I believe that we can be rewarded for trusting in the plans God has for us and taking the leap that you have always wanted to take.

(Hebrews 11:6) ⁶ And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Seek Him and His plans for your life. You have so much potential and purpose, sweet friend.

I understand that the leap is the hardest thing to do, but when you take it and you are all in, pray every step of the way. Make sure God is always who you are seeking as you continue your journey with whatever you are doing. Make God be your copilot to lead and direct every step you take.

(Job 42:2) “I know that you can do all things,
    and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

Do you ever wish you were free to be completely yourself? Do you wish people would accept you exactly as you are with no judgment, No matter what mistake you have made or what obstacle you have gotten yourself into?

Well, God does. God cares about your body, your soul and mind, He cares about you in life and after death. He will never leave no matter what you have done.

I know I fail God daily but yet He still loves me the same. His unfailing love and grace saves me every single day.

I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior a long long time ago and it still never fails to amaze me that the God who created the universe loves me just the way I am flaws and all. It is truly humbling.

God’s acceptance of you will never change. He does not forget about you.

When our lives are owned by Jesus, we can find freedom in that through our minds and hearts. Our worry and anxiety can vanish when we put our trust in our God.

Do you question whether it’s possible for you to be truly free in Jesus Christ?

I know for my life it has always been a work in progress to let God take over all my worries and concerns.

Many people think that all the responsibility is on you when you get yourself into a mess. Whether that be financial, physical, or even mental.

Well, I refuse to believe that.

I believe that God gives us enough grace to help us out of our moments of weakness, sadness, desperation, and stupidity.

I believe that God will always come to help even when we put ourselves into a mess.

I believe that Jesus meets us just where we are with loving and helping hands.

God knows our hearts and loves us no matter what. There is never a place you could go that is too far from God.

He will find you in the midst of the mess.

I know for me I struggle with the thoughts and feelings of “God won’t help me now, I have gone too far this time.”

But here’s the thing, If God’s grace was an ocean, we would all be sinking.

Our challenges are opportunities for us to let God come into our lives and give Him the power to turn a situation that feels impossible to us, into a living work of God’s greatness.

God will produce miracles if we only let Him do His work in our lives. Surrender who we are and what we have done and let Him take it over.

We just have to put all our trust into Him because when we do that, we are giving God credit that He is way bigger than the problems that we will ever face.

No matter what lies ahead, GOD IS FAITHFUL. He will never leave nor forsake you.

(1 Corinthians 10:13) 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

(Psalm 116:5) 5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
