Recently I've been trying to master obedience. As you might have guessed I've been having a really hard time obeying God. And I've noticed the reason I've had such a hard time is because I'm not trusting God. And obeying God would be giving Him all the control. And for me obeying God is taking a giant leap of faith. So a couple of days I took a giant leap of faith and did this crazy thing God told me to do. And you know what? I felt...free. I felt like I was invincible. I guess I felt this way because if I'm doing what God wants to do, I simply CAN'T FAIL. And from them on I wanted to obey God more and more. I guess because I felt like I could mess the program if I took the lead. Which is probably what would have happened.
Since I'm started to actively obey God, I feel SO much closer to Him. I feel like He understands me and I'm understanding more and more about His character.I really feel like this is milestone in my walk with God and I'm excited to see where God will take me. I feel so honored that God is using me to change lives and bring forth His kingdom!
In Christ,

Prayer Works
Today was a great day. A couple of weeks ago a friend told me he wanted to be a musician. So of course I encouraged him to follow his passion and forget about being practical. God put us all on this earth for a reason and we all have a special purpose so I felt compelled to hep him achieve his goals in any way that I could. Today he told me he played at a cafe in our city last weekend and now some record producer at a very high profile record company wants to work with him. I was amazed! I had been praying for him but this was more than anyone could ask for! And it happened so quickly! And all I did was encourage him and ask him questions about his vision. I felt really blessed to be apart of his journey (even though he still has along was to go) and be the one to encourage him.
On another note, I wanted to encourage people to NEVER stop prayer. Prayer really does move mountains even if you don't see anything happening. I've been Christian for almost 2 years and during that time I've been getting lots of slack in my family for being too overbearing. They think I'm a fanatic and extremist. We'll it is true. I mean when you understand the power of Gods love IT MAKES YOU WANT TO SCREAM!!! lol. Anyway, some members in my family have recently started going to church. :) And get this....The same person who asked me why I'm always listening to those "televangelists" and couldn't understand why God was the center of my life found themselves watching a biblical message on tv today. But the amazing thing is they remembered the book of the bible that was quoted and actually understood how relevant it was to their life! This was amazing to me because I can see God working right before my eyes! And I'm encouraged to continue to be a good example of Christ and show humility because I know it wasn't me who initiated this change, but God. So encorage other and never stop praying!
