just thoughts.

after taking forever to figure out the damn e-mail…. i'm finally in (shut up kel)..

so lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and the retreat was extremely good for my soul, my heart, just my being. it was so good to be in the Word with u all, worshiping, sharing, praying... it was so good. i live for weekends like that, when we come together, lay our worries at the door and let God do His thing. and He definitely did.

This might, and is a simple concept but it has rocked my world and I have already shared it with some of ya’ll, and the more I talk about, the more I am affirmed in my thinking. So it thought I would share it with ya’ll..
- I am a child of Christ
- He chose me to be His daughter, to be part of His family
- I have a personal, deep, growing relationship with the Almighty, the Creator, my Savior

My salvation does not depend on spiritual gifts, we are all created to be different, God fearing women with different purposes, strengths and passions. I need not to be afraid of the Spirit and to not limit God, for He can do all things. I want (and am trying daily) to welcome the Spirit in all forms. I want my life to be a living testament of God’s goodness and love, in whatever form that may be in. I pray for myself that I will be receptive towards the Spirit and to not instinctively put the “happenings” in a negative light. THIs might be elementary for some, but it’s still something that I am seeking Jesus after.

I am honored to be part of a God-fearing, loving, growing community as this. We are all blessed individually and then come together to build a ministry through unity (as kels mentioned). We are a body therefore created with different gifts, and to use these gifts within the community is what God has called and ordained. God is good, I am so glad we serve the Almighty.

Lovin u. always.
