Struggling with Patience

Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Everyday I make it a point to focus on having the fruit of the Spirit. Tarsi's of being a Christian disciple. Not always easy to maintain but a requirement nonetheless.

Love.

Joy.

Peace.

Why are these the easiest? At least for me.

Kindness.

Goodness.

Faithfulness.

Gentleness.

Yes, these take a bit more work, in this cruel world, but I manage.

Patience.

Self-Control.

Here in lies the problem.

Once I loose my patience, then goes my self control.  They both fly off the handle together.

Hard to hold on and to keep on a leash. Ugh.

I am waiting and then I am begging. I am chilling and then I whiling-out. 

What scriptures do you recall when u are losing patience?

What prayer do you say to help your self-control?

Thanks for Reading, my loves!

Favorite Scripture [Quote]

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 

Romans 8:18 

When you have gone through certain things in your life, you have no choice but to call on the Master and admit that only He can help you through.  About 4 years ago, the longest trial, moment, speed bump, situation in my life just blind sided me.
I was knocked down to the deepest pit and I couldn't get out.  Only Christ could help me, mend me, and make me whole again.
I had to remember, this was happening for a reason.  This was what i needed to get closer to Him and to do his Kingdom work. It was needed and it helped me realize He was Lord and He deserved my everything. Even when things were good, I should have been focusing on Him.
And no matter how bad things got, I had faith that a better joy was coming...And I am proof that it is.
Trust Him.

I Rest In Him #30Layers30Days

I am busy all the time.
Always on the go.
Meetings. Rehearsals. Class.
But feeling unfulfilled? I don't have that problem

Salvation has fixed that for me.
Christ-centered life. All eyes on my master.
With Him, I can't be unfulfilled. The Holy Spirit flushed me out an fills me up.

Such an awesome peace that can only come from Him.

Would you like to know such peace?

My Mind Contradicts #30Layers30Days

Born to church, I have always thought I think the best way possible.
Like my mind and thoughts can't be corrupted.
But after a good 29 years of living....that is so far from the truth.

The daily contradictions of the mind.
I think LOVE is an factor important in anyone's life. Having it, giving it.
To friends, family, spouses.
But the romance of it all....
The time that is invested....
The simple idea of sharing the small special part with someone other than God...

I just can't take it.
Love is needed and I will get it from Him who is on high.
For now at least....till I face the fear of actually loving a human soul.

God is love.

Christian Living Following Christ

Christian Living as a Young Adult

I am a christian.
I live a christian lifestyle.
I am not perfect. But I am a God-fearing woman who lives to praise Him.

Being a christian is more than a one day decision, it is a lifestyle. Some people don't realize or just don't know that their sole purpose here on earth is to praise the Lord.
A thought that some don't grasp or want to live up to.

Living this way is not easy. It is all about sacrifice.
I am 28 years old and it took me 26 years of life to realize this.
In hopes to help another sooner come to grasp with this, I want to talk about my lifestyle. The ups and downs, struggles and blessings.  I want to share in hopes to encourage another.

Lets start with some background. Everyone wants to know the stats.
I am 28. Been saved since my youth [not sure of the age].
I have been in church all my life. Born into christian living but never forced in to living it.
My parents have always let us [their children] be very independent and make their own choices.
I chose salvation.

As I said before, it wasn't until a few years ago that I realized the great sacrifice of it. Some people think that word [sacrifice] is dangerous or dirty. Immediately thinking "What do I have to give up?".
I admit I thought that as well. But once I realized what how unworthy but blessed I was, giving up my time, gifts, and life seemed like nothing at all.

When you find yourself in so low of a space and feel like you have nothing; ready to give in and crawl in a corner. Then you just let go and give it all the God...
You think your giving up and not recovering but he takes your hurt, pain, mess and throws it away. He give you something brand new and allows you to start fresh.
It is an amazing feeling and quite super natural.

So if your interested in hearing more about christian living and this lifestyle, stay tuned.
And feel free to chime in, comment below.

As always, thanks for reading.

A Spiritual Challenge: Get In The Bible

I am a Christian.
I proclaim the name of Jesus Christ.
I have just recently realized (and am trying to step into) the fact that my whole existence in this life and world is to glorify God.

That's it. Seems simple enough.
But we all Christians know, that is not true everyday.
It is a lifestyle though and I am happy and blessed to be living it.

This past weekend I attended a Women's Conference through my church, Shining Star Baptist Church (aka The Star). And it really jump started my heart, mind and spirit.
I have been praying about walking in my path and how I can change my current habits/lifestyle to do so. Well at the conference, this was addressed. How I can walk with Christ and How I can live in my destiny.

One way, and the first I will be implementing, is reading Gods word and storing it in my heart.
Really studying it and keeping it with me day to day.
Now I have a terrible memory and live a distracted life. So how can I keep the word in my mind and continue to go back to it daily?

First, I am going to make a Memory Verse Board for my room. Nothing like a good craft to keep you happy. I am going to hang it right by my door so I will see it exiting and entering my room, everyday. And every week I will pick a new verse to commit to memory.
Second, I am going to put myself on a daily schedule and keep up with it though alarms. I use my phone for everything else, right. We all do. Now I am going to make it even more productive and have it work for me.
Her name is Phoebe and I have just hired her as my assistant. She now keeps my schedule and handles all my calls, emails, text, etc, lol.
We as humans are creatures of habit! I am going to use my own basic functions to become a more productive person.

Even though this is not a typical challenge because it is not one set goal with a deadline to make it by, it is still a challenge. Its hard to break old habits (i.e.. Old habits die hard). Plus I am putting myself to the test. Becoming the woman of Christ I should be.

Interested in challenging yourself? Leave me a comment below and tell me how. We can correspond and keep each other uplifted!

As always, thanks for reading!
