The Last Quarter is the Best Quarter

It’s the last quarter of the year!! So much change happens in the last season of the year. The leaves turn colors, they fall, and then if we are lucky we get snow to cover the bare branches. If God can allow so much change to happen with trees in three months, imagine what He can do for you in three months!

So many people are ready to throw this year away, and for good reason (it’s been rough). But God always works things out for good just when you think it’s too late. He proves to be amazing in times like these. If you are still believing God for something this year, hold on because He is more than able to show up and show out!! 2020 is still the year for miracles, breakthrough, and promises fulfilled. Declare it and manifest it in the name of Jesus.

Be Who He Created You to Be

The two major questions everyone ask themselves in their life is “Who am I?” and “What is my purpose?” We spend our whole lives searching for these answers, thinking we will find them through the people we love, the things we do, and the successes we try to achieve.

But have you ever stopped to ask the Father these questions? He is the Creator of all, so why wouldn’t He be the most verified to answer the burning questions in our life? He didn’t just create each of us willy-nilly—He has purpose in everything He does and He has a plan for you, the one He created on this earth.

Ask yourself these questions: “Who does God say I am?” “What has He entrusted me to do?”

God desires for us to be who He created us to be and to do what He created us to do. If you are like me and struggle with these questions, take time to talk to God about them. It may be an uncomfortable conversation at first, but the more vulnerable and transparent you get with Him, the more He gives you.

There’s so much more He put in you that the world and Heaven is waiting to see.

The Difference Makers

I have always known God. He has always been present in my life. I got saved and baptized when I was thirteen. But, I didn’t come to truly have Jesus and the Holy Spirit in my life until I was twenty-seven. They are the difference maker. You will hear about God (or gods) in any religion, but to know Jesus and the Holy Spirit is life. Without them, you don’t have a true relationship with God, and that’s what we need—not religion with Him, but relationship with Him.

Someone I knew past away suddenly this week, and after praying for his family I realized I didn’t truly know if he had accepted Jesus in his life. Every conversation I had with him I all of a sudden regretted because I never spent more time getting to know him better or even sharing something with him about Jesus.

I’m very laid back, and people tend to confuse that with shyness or me being very quiet, but I truly have a lot to say. It just all stays in my mind until I feel it’s appropriate to say out loud or I write it down in my journal. But, one thing I want to be clearly heard about is that I am a believer in Jesus Christ and I desire all my family and loved ones to invite Jesus into their lives so that we all can go to Heaven and enjoy everlasting life with the One True God. Having Jesus in your life is the best life you will ever have—on this side and in eternity.

My testimony is this: -Jesus waited for me. -When I came back to Him in the middle of my brokenness and my sin, He accepted me. -Jesus loves me like no one else ever could, even myself. -I am enough for Him even if I’m not enough for anyone else. -Jesus is always happy to hear from me, be with me, and speak to me. -Jesus had a purpose for me before He even created me. -Jesus wants what’s best for me, and He knows what’s best because He created me. -I am His and He is mine.

I got saved through my church, but I received Jesus by a simple prayer:

Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I repent of my sins and ask for Your forgiveness, Lord. I know that You died for me and rose from the grave. I know you are the Son of God. I desire to live my life for You. I invite You (back) into my life as my Lord and Savior.

I pray that this prayer touches your heart and you confess it with all your soul. It will be the best decision you will ever make.

I love you all!!!!!
