Walk by faith.

I noticed a blind lady on the roadside. At first I didn't realize she was blind, but when I did I couldn't help but observe her. She was walking alone, and didn't have anything except her stick and her senses to guide her. As I observed her I got to thinking about my faithwalk, and realized that she was a powerful sermon about every believer's faithwalk. I was amazed by the fearless, firm and confident way the lady was walking despite her lack of sight, and thought about the fearless firm confidence every believer has to develop as they walk with Christ. I thank God for that sermon for it was truly inspiring to me.

We walk by faith and not by sight



Walking with God is such a leap of faith... You can't hold on to the side, or inch your way down, you have to take that ONE small step and fall into the water, where you will drown in grace, and bathe in His sweet sweet mercy and love.

There was, and is, so much I wanted to hold on to, so much I didn't want to lose. Walking by faith is terrifying, and it's not safe, it's not ideal,nor is it rational. The tug of our cultures influence in my life has been so hard to break free from, but as I'm breaking through these chains, running for the crown to lay at my King's feet I feel so ALIVE. I am so eager to see where the Lord takes me, trusting that He will provide. My leap was from trembling feet that love so much to stay where they are, but God has been so good to me! Praise God for the people He has brought into my life to help guide me on the path my Father has created for me. Praise God for opening hearts, and minds, so that we can fellowship with one another. Thank God for the ones who are now lost but their lives soo be intercepted by the Holy Spirit in such Power. Walking with our Lord is terrifying, it is not safe, it is not ideal, nor is it rational, walking with our God is not always easy, but it is so delightful our God is so good, and so mighty. I am so blessed to know my God. I am seeking to know Him more.

It is crucial for us to recognize that we cannot move, love, live, laugh, and in particularly heal without the denial of ourselves and henceforth the glorification of our Father.
We are to become transparent transients of this Earth only to reveal the greatness of God.
Christianity is not a weapon. It is not a tool to sway political opinion.
People possess the ability to comfort, but only God can possess the ability to heal.
I believe I am alive because the Lord is not through with me yet.
God called us to be birds, not the trees they live in.
God's love is indiscriminate
Imagination is not faith.
