Yes, I am alive! :)

First of,  I want to start by saying I am alive! Most importantly I am alive in the Lord! I pray you won't confuse the lack of posts with lack of things to post about! In fact, God has been doing crazy amazing things! I mean it when I say this...He has blown/ is blowing me away! Hear me out...

Part of my daily struggle comes from my deep liking( I didn't want to say love) of having structure, order and routine in place for everything! I know to most that sounds crazy...but to me that is the icing on my cake! Like the best kind of Icing too! :) I started this blog by following a schedule, I had a system in place...I post Prayer of the Week on Mondays, Challenge of the Week on Tuesdays, Sermons on Wednesdays, Video of the Week on Thursdays and sermon illustrations on Fridays! I started it and still is with great intentions! It is from a heart of wanting to show you my daily walk with Him that you may find your story in Him as I found mine.

But you see, even in this, religiousness could attack! Did attack!! At first it started out with me saying I missed a Monday post, then it became out of obligation that I had to post on Tuesday and the days to follow! God forbid I miss more days! In the midst of all this I moved to an entirely different city, province. I moved to a place where I started working crazy shifts and had weird day offs! That freaked me out because I couldn't keep up with the pattern I had in place! Yes, you can say if I really wanted to I would make time for it! But that, my brothers and sisters, is besides the point! I started my blog as a way to share the blessings I have received but it turned into a burden!

That is exactly what religion does! It sets bunch of rules and when you fail to keep one then you are discouraged! Soon after you will find yourself lost and bound in physically and spiritually draining cycle of trying to earn grace! You lose your freedom! Your heart grows cold! It becomes a chore than an avenue to share His love! It becomes that thing on your list you need to cross out!

Though my blog is a simple illustration, there are so many that are still stuck in the 'earning grace' mentality! I pray the Lord frees you! In Jesus name, may your spiritual eyes be opened! May you see that all the good works are a result of His unending grace, not a means to earn it! I pray for freedom over you in Jesus name! I pray that this will give you peace! I pray that you will truly surrender to Him! I pray that you will have a deep understanding of what it means to be saved by Grace and NOT by Works!!!

Hahahah! It is fair to assume that my blog will no longer be as structured as it used to be!! For those who love structure..well as long as it does not turn into a religious chore..go for it..start blogging! ;) Share your posts with me! :)

I pray that the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of the Father, and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit will be with you all. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

 Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Refuse to Pretend

Be a Contender not a Pretender!  1) The time Jacob labored to get Rachel was nothing to him because of how much he loved her. Similarly when you love God all the sacrifices you make are nothing..if you truly love Him that is! "So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." Genesis 29:20 Rachel is his first Love..She is representation of Jesus and His Love where as Leah is the  substitute ..not the real one. Rachel is the one where as Leah is the second option..not the best! Leah is Religion where as Rachel is Relationship with Christ Leah is Survival where as Rachel is Revival 2) Do not be Pretenders but Contenders "Dear friends,  although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,  I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend  for the faith  that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people."Jude 1:3 Do not be like people who come t...

When the Music Stops...

Hey Friends, I am trying to honour my commitment to make at least one blog post a month, so here goes July. That being said, please know that I am not posting for the sake of posting. I am trying to cultivate an active listening skill when it comes to each topic I share i.e. I will not post until I am convinced I heard from my heavenly daddy. I hope this is one speaks to you. :)   When the Music Stops... This marks the first time I talk about my hubby-to-be on this blog. This man is a Gem! He is a true worshipper, a man after God's heart. He also happens to be an anointed worship leader :) I am not saying that because I love him, I promise. The reason I bring him up though is because one of the very many conversations we have had about music is a good illustration to the point I will make later in this post. He mentioned that  it is common practice amongst some parents to hide their kids' musical instruments closer to exam seasons in the hopes of helping them focus...
