Entry 3

Some encouraging words I want to share with you all. It is amazing how God works when you keep your faith in Action through him. I have been going through the motions with school. Financially, emotionally, and so on...God really steps in when you least expect it. But it is all about if we are willing to do his work and what he desires. I am learning through it all I must continue to give God all the glory and praise even if my situation is not the best. The devil/enemy will try to detour you...Lead you in a path of depression, shame, and loneliness if you allow him to do so. Yet you must keep your mind at peace in the things of Christ. I just thank God for all he has done in my life. I am a walking testament and I am not ashamed to say that I am an unapologetic follower of Christ.

Today I was blessed with a scholarship to help me pay for my last year of college. That is God. It is funny how God open doors for you when you least expect it. Even when you sit back and reflect upon your actions he is still showing his grace, mercy, and love. His love is amazing. He is the great I am. God in the flesh now seated upon the throne. He is my Jehovah Jireh my provider. There is nobody like Jesus. My sweet King. I just give him all glory and praise! I literally thought I was going to have to take a year off. But not so...When God knows the desires of one heart he fulfills them through numerous trails and tribulations only to make you stronger. We go through the wilderness to come out humble. Amen Amen Amen. Today I am ready for change. I am almost 21 years old and I will continue to serve my God for Life. He is amazing. How great is our God? :)

**Be Encouraged

Peters walk on water proves that Jesus will often call you to move forward when theres NO WAY that what UR surrounded by can support you But Gods word plus YOUR FAITH gives u a platform to stand on, when you shouldn't be standing.  Youre faith has grown,
YOURE NOT IN THE SAME BOAT U USED TO BE

Focus Scripture: Mt. 14:28-29 (NIV) “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said.  Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
 
 
Question: What do you do, when you all you’re trying to do is move forward and progress in your life, as God would desire, and you’re not getting the support you think you need to do so? 
 
Think: There are times in your life where you will look at what surrounds you, and like Peter, realize that God has called you out at a time when you don’t have the support you need. SO WHAT NOW!
I know this sounds rough, but too often we allow ourselves to progress into a pity party and even depression, because people are not there the way we think they should be, or the situation is shaky, I fully understand…it happens, but your faith can still get you out of the same boat you’ve always been in…
 
Pay Attention: Jesus never asked permission of the other people in the boat, before he told Peter to come.  He also fully understood that the water he asked him to step out on, was not designed to hold him up.  What you’re surrounded by may not be able to support you.  But All  you need is God’s Word and your faith IN HIS Word!  And that's all the support you're going to get...but it's also, all the support you'll need!
 
Be of good courage!
