Don't Just Exist, But Live

For our 2nd Anniversary blog, I wanted to share an empowering word with you all...
There is a difference between existing and living. It's like the difference of being alive or in a coma...

Happy Anniversary to The Chronicles of Strange Girl Blog, over 3,000 views and counting. Love you all to life!!

Average is Officially Over...

Normal seems boring to me. In fact, being unique and strange has its benefits. According to the Word of God, we serve an excellent God so there is no room for average...

The Test of Real Value

Do you know how valuable you are? Anything that is valuable must be tested... Matthew 10:25-31; Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 139

Have a blessed a safe holiday season. Love you all to life...

Humility...A Virtue for Life

Ok, yes I have talked about humility before that it is not for wimps.
However, it always good to be reminded sometimes, right?
So check out my video blog below and I hope it helps as it did for me.

"Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom." - James 3:13 (NIV)

Blessings and I love you all to life...

I Didn't Sign Up For This

As I was relaxing at home one night, I was watching the movie "Ali" with Will Smith and Jamie Foxx. There is one scene in the movie where Smith's character is at the military recruiting site and is called by his birth name to be drafted into the US Army. He does not step forward when he hears his name called as a protest against the war at the time. 

I thought about how we as Christians have times in our lives that are quite tough. When God is elevating you to a higher level, it seems to get much harder from day to day. Sickness, finances awry, no peace at home, people scandalizing your name, etc. It is as if the bottom fell out of the sky and landed on you.  Don't you feel like saying to God: "I didn't sign up for this." Let's be real. A lot of us feel that way.

Here is the truth...when we submit to the Lord in our hearts and minds to His will, we do sign up for whatever He desires for our lives. Even though we may not see it coming, He loves us enough to allow the trials in our lives.  He trusts the spirit of God inside of us to endure the trials for more of His glory and character to be revealed in the Earth. Why don't you ask Job about it? It was God that signed him up for Satan to be allowed to touch his life, but not his soul (Job 1:8-12). Job endured a lot of suffering in loss of family, finances, and friends. But one thing Job held on to was his complete trust in God.  "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him..." Job 13:15. And later in the story, Job received double portion on his life and much more than he had before. 

I am learning that God has an unique mathematical system. He adds more to your life is by subtracting first. He multiplies to your life by dividing what you already have. Job's life teaches us a valuable lesson. Sometimes we have to lose what we have in order to have room for what we really need.

Just remember... if God has signed you up for a test, it is only a set up for greater blessing to manifest in your life.

Bipolar Christians...

Let me say this upfront. I am not referencing people who may have bipolar mental disorder. I am using the term bipolar as to reference instability in Christian's faith in God. I was inspired by a message that my spiritual son, Elder Brian Robinson preached at our prayer revival called "Am I a Counterfeit Christian?" One of the things he said was "There too many bipolar saints in the church. Loving people one minute, then cursing them out later. They lack the spirit of Christ." So it got me to thinking about overall, do we have a lot of bipolar saints in the body of Christ that lack the steadfast faith they need to live?  Check out this video blog to find out...

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." - I Corinthians 15:58
