I'm a girl who loves the Lord, who dreams big, and who often feels like a small fish in a HUGE pond. There are days I'm on top of the world and other days I'm in the valley. Most people think that being a Christian excuses you from struggles; however, that's contrary to scripture. John 16:33 says, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
My faith and complete trust in God is often challenged. I'm currently employed full-time at a fortune 500 company; however, I'm so unhappy. See, I have dreams of owning a business. Matthew 21:21 says, Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. God simply asks us to believe. It can be hard to believe in a world of social media. Every corner I turn it seems everyone is doing so much better me. Can you relate? I have to admit, I often compare myself others. I'm sure you can guess where this leaves me - jealous, broken, sad, disappointed, overwhelmed, etc. I'm sure you've heard the quote, "Comparison is the thief of joy." Don't let comparison steal your joy. John 10:10 says, The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. God desires for each of us to live richly; not defeated.
The purpose of this blog is document my personal journey of becoming everything God created me to be. I will be completely transparent and share my ups and downs. I will dive head first into the word of God and really began to know it for myself. I will document every doubt... every fear. I will also share scriptures to overcome those doubts and fears. For I know, the WORD is my weapon. Just as a soldier wouldn't go to battle without a weapon, neither should we.
I pray that through this blog, I come to know God more and more. Lord, increase my faith! I pray God manifest Himself in our lives like never before! God, show up and show out!
In Faith,
A girl w/a dream
