Spiritutal Gifts

hey yall..........so i have been meeting with my neighbors kids and they all are in high school and all three are boys and are very different, they want to know more about Christ and what he can do and who he is but the oldest asked me a question "How can i find my purpose of who i am suppose to be within Christ?" i was mind blown when a 17 year old asked me that. i all knew at the time that it is a process and that God can and will show you over time what your purpose is ... i told the young man that God created us in his image and that we all have a special gift given from God such as encouragement or speaking or listening or giving joy or hope to those who need it and he has asked me to help him find his spiritual gift from God but the thing is i don't know how ......i told him that God showed me when i was worshiping what i was suppose to do and what i was made to give to people but i dont know ant scripture to show him does anyone know of any good ones?

To leave or not to leave . that is the question.

Is it wrong to leave all my problems and start over new somewhere else?


well i just read in Jonah that he ran from what God asked him to do but i am not sure if what i am doing is a request from God because i am in a relationship that is redirecting my life in a negative way and i continue am looking for the light but i do not see it , God does come thru every time when i need him. Would God punish us if we are to run from our problems instead of relying in him to help us? I want to leave but i already would feel guilty and feel as if i have done something terribly wrong why is that? Is God making feel this way so i don't leave or is there a hidden purpose for me staying that i don't know yet. i have read in 1 Corinthians 7:32 that a man unmarried can be free from concerns and worry from this life and only worry about how to please the Lord. Can this be applied to a relationship? i think so. ..........if my relationship is very difficult am i allowed to not want it anymore? some people would say don't run from your problems and don't be  a coward and etc and i am not running for say i just don't want to be in the situation i am currently in right now it is affecting my faith my personal believes and my future. I know God has a plan for me but why should i be stuck in a choice I made. I want to better myself and not be stuck in the choices i made so if i choose to go after Christ and give up the relationship i am in to want a better relationship with Christ then why do i feel so burden and guilty to stay?

The next step?

so a few months ago a great friend of mine asked me if i would join him in a quest to Colorado to be apart of a mentoring program to high school rs that are already part of a church. instantly i want to go but then as i was entering my conversation with god about if i am allowed to go or not i felt that i was not allowed to go and i accepted that but then in a crazy turn a events i find out that my few closest friends are deciding to go to Colorado and i am now in struggle to go or not because i still want to go but i am afraid that god will not let me go and i also happen to be in a relationship and the women does not want me to go because she is fearful that i will never come back for her and all the details that go along with that.

i want to just leave everything i have to go but i feel a wave of guilt if i were to go and do this but is it wrong to leave everything behind to go and try to start a ministry half way across the country not knowing what will to be come of me and my relationship with god. i understand that nothing in this world matters except Jesus and proclaiming his name everywhere i go and living a life for Christ. i want to go and be able to spread his almighty word but i have so many connections here ................may i ask of you all that read this to pray for me that God may find a way for me to go. if i am not able to go that he uses me to find a minsitry to work for him and to go and work for him.


God i love you so much because you have given me a life that i could only dream about .......i love to praise your holy name for you have saved me from ultimately destroying myself and those around me but i beg of you to allow me to go to Colorado and that you may relinquish my fears within my relationship with Brianna and that you take control and be the light unto my path and send me on my way towards victory in your name.... amen

BURNING BUSH

Well i was just worshiping God for his amazing grace and glory and afterward a man named Austin came up too me and said that he noticed me while worshiping and  he said he could see a light surrounding me and a fire coming from me.....he said that god told him i represented the burning bush and that my inner strength that i find threw worship is so great and powerful and that leaders will come thru me to worship with christ and that i will be used by christ to show leaders how to worship.........HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!!!!
when Austin told me this i was just stunned with awe that i started to tear because i could just feel like it was Jesus himself telling me this and i was like how can God use me to lead the leaders into worship...how awesome of a gift and responsibility given by God to carry out his plan ...when God wants to use me too do his will it has the greatest feeling for me because i can feel Gods unfailing love grace and mercy and power all at once................. Matthew 19:26

 i just love how God can use anyone for his ultimate purpose and that he shows me with this meeting that he has a purpose and a special plan for me to do for him and i am excited to be used by Christ! i believe that when God made us in the womb that he already knew that he had a special plan for each and every single one of us and we may see strife more than others but God is with us at every moment in our life's we may not know it or feel him or seem him but with our faith we know that he is there and that he is there to catch us at any moment that we may need to lean on him....

what has been seen.

Ok so this is the beginning of my first blog and sorry if it comes of just me throwing my thoughts out their but the purpose of this is to remind fellow followers of what we are called to do and to be fearless ….i do not claim to be perfect and I don’t remember these half the time but it doesn’t hurt to try……good luck and feedback is welcomed ……...

God can actively change how you see the things around you …they may be for the better or the worse but being a Christian isn’t easy but it is the best choice you can ever make in your life but you must know this if you are willing and want to have the best relationship of your life you must let god and Jesus change the course of your life and be open to the things unseen and let them change your life in more ways than you can ever imagine…..…… we have an infinite amount of joy hidden in our hearts because of Jesus…how cool is that? Let us take pride in being saved by Jesus and that we can pray and worship him freely without doubt of who he is ……..we know god to be love but we forget most of all is that God is power he created the heaves and the earth he knows your every thought and knows what is to come in your future and he can help with any situation that may arise if we can trust his will and power we can survive anything that come our way that the world throws at us.  

Ok now that you are all hyped on Jesus juice let’s get down to the real problem

So as a follower of Christ we are supposed to follow his word and TRY to be the best we can be within Christ but here is the thing people miss out in the most…ACTUALLY GOING OUT AND SPREADING HIS WORD!!!!!  We are supposed to be a family of believers and if we don’t go out and meet random people and spread the love of Christ and share the good news of what Christ can do for them and what he has done for us then how is this world supposed to get any better?

If we can be fearless when we walk with Jesus and go to the places that no one wants to go and spread the light of Christ we can destroy the darkness in this world ……I mean it says in scripture we are the salt of the earth…GO BE SALTY!!!!!  Add flavor to this world and be the light….Jesus told his disciples clear to go and baptize the nations in the name of the father son and Holy Spirit why shouldn’t we go and do the same? We are Disciples of Christ anyways right, so this should apply to us as well.
