Transformation Thursday!

There once was a little girl who loved playing in the mud and getting messy. She had two brothers so she always did what they did. If they dug a hole, she did. If her brothers played with bugs, she did. Her brothers never minded her being “one of the boys,” in-fact they thought it was great!  Years passed and that little girl started growing up, and started playing with dolls, cooking, and having tea parties. “What’s up with sis,” the brothers would ask each other. “She’s no fun anymore.”
Something was up, that little girl was growing and becoming a young woman. You see, God created women to be nurturers.
You may be thinking that you will never get out of the little girl/boy stage and become "all grown up".
Today, I would like to share about when we fully become the person God created us to be.
Take for example a butterfly. When the beautiful butterfly hatched did it look the same as it does now? No, it was a small larva, and after a while it transformed into that beautiful butterfly.
Just like a butterfly, we all have a time when we grow and prepare to become the person God created us to be!
During our time as a “larva” we need to stay focused on the plan God has for us and continue to grow, so that one day we will no longer be that “larva” but we will become a beautiful butterfly.
There will be a time of waiting where we will not be a “larva or a butterfly. During that time God will slowly be changing us. Just like the cocoon stage of a butterfly’s life, we have that transformation stage.
Don’t be discouraged if you haven’t transformed yet. “Don’t worry, God’s timing for you is different.” In your own time you will become the person God the creator of the universe created YOU to be.

Are you feeling alone?!

Have you ever felt alone? Like there was no one there for you? No one to hear you, to lift you up to say it's going to be okay! No one! Have you ever felt like you're sinking and that there's no one to pull you out, to rescue you. In Hebrew 13:5b the Lord said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."  If you think you are alone, I am here to say that you are NOT! If you have a relationship with Christ Jesus our Lord you are NOT alone. The Lord, He will never leave you. He is with you through the storm.  In the book of Matthew the disciples climbed into a boat to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. When evening came a storm came up and as the disciples looked out onto the storm, they were terrified when they saw Jesus walking on the water. They thought He was a ghost . Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid."  Peter answered Him, " Lord if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." Jesus answered, "Come....

"With You I am completely Full"

I wrote these short passages a couple weeks ago and I thought that I would share them with you all! "I may be weak, small, frail, insignificant. But with You, oh Lord, I am strong, mighty, big, important, loved, content. Without You, I am nothing, but with you I am completely full. Fill up my cup and let it overflow!" "Lord all I am I surrender. Give me faith to trust what You say! Give me faith to follow what You want me to do every step of the way. Lord take everything in my life it is Yours. Guide me as I walk the walk of faith. Hear my prayers, o Lord... In Your faithfulness answer me. You are faithful. O God, You hear my cries and You answer me in Your appointed time."
