Need a Better Game Plan??


Not having a plan scares me!! Everything has to be laid out or I just go crazy. I have friends who seem to be content not doing anything with their lives. I remember taking a semester off from school prior to starting college. It drove me nuts! I hadn’t picked a school, didn’t know squat about college, and it seems whenever you need help, all the know it all’s in your life get amnesia. I was scared. I felt like a failure; however, I didn’t know God was working things out. I applied to a college that just couldn’t get my records together, despite me sending multiple copies. I remember talking to a friend who attended Troy and she said she didn’t have any trouble getting in and loved it, so I applied. I got all my stuff ready in the second week of November! This was never a part of the plan but I failed to realize my plans weren’t always the best. Now that I look back on it, I see the fruit of it. Jeremiah 29:11 says “I know what I am planning for you. I have good plans for you, not plans to harm you. I will give you hope and a good future. (New Century Version). God has a plan for each of us. He wants the best for each one of us. All we have to do is trust him. When I started my spiritual journey, I admit I questioned God. How can someone control everything but I can’t see him. I still wish God would just come down and hang out with me all the time (I have a vivid imagination). I realize that first of all would be incredibly selfish and most importantly, God is so great and amazing because he can do so much more than us at the same time, so it wouldn't be possible for him to be in such a sinful world . Whatever your plans are, take them to Jesus. See what he thinks because sometimes we have some crazy ideas........like the time I thought I was a stunt devil and rode my tricycle out the backdoor of my house........... Anyway, our conscience is the Holy Spirit. Its part of the trinity which means it is one with God and Jesus! Listen to them and obey. They want the best for you. Stop trying to rationalize with the Devil. He only wants to steal your joy, destroy your life, and ultimately, kill you off!! He knows nothing good!! Whose plan do you want to use?? Good or bad?? I’m sticking with the good!

My Silent Season is a Blessing

So I just graduated about 2 months ago from college with a Bachelors in Applied Computer Science. I picked this major because I thought I was good with technology(that’s another story for another day) and people in IT make great money. You know, everyone is so excited when you graduate but one you get that pretty, expensive piece of paper no one cares. They ask the occasional question “are you working you working yet?” but they don’t really care what you’re doing. You are out in the world miserable, just like them. I thought getting a degree would give me a headstart. I thought I would have a job soon after. It’s been said God laughs at our plans, but honestly I think God has a laughing fit when I’m like “God where are you? It isn’t supposed to go like this…….”. So I made applying to jobs my mission. I even toyed with the idea of moving………broke recent grad who depends on her parents for everything…….yea I moving all right. I even said “well God if I don’t get a job, I...

Sin Part 1

I was reading the bible one day and I ran across this scripture 2 Corinthians 13:5 “Do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?”. It literally blew my mind and made me think “if Jesus lives inside of me, I don’t want him exposed to sin. Jesus is like a parent. We don’t want our parents knowing the sins we commit, but we have no problem taking God along for the ride. When we listen to music that we would be embarrassed for our parents to listen to, we need to be think about Jesus. He is too holy to be caught in the sin we drag him along in. Jesus is our father but when it comes to sin, I think of him as my child. I don’t want my child watching porn so I need to be protecting him from it. Usually when we sin, its for our benefit. We were created to worship God, not ourselves. We do what is right to please God. When he is pleased, he blesses us. P.S this will be continued
