This Journey

It has been more than a year that I rededicated my life for God and started going to this amazing church. I have learned so much and more importantly have grown in my spiritual walk with the Lord. Now I am in level 2 of my classes to become a leader (there are 3 levels). I am soo excited to finish! Next Thursday, I will be doing my first lesson in my cell group (it is like a bible study group for all women) I am excited and I can't wait to give the word to all the women and for God to use me in a mighty way. My lesson will be covering decisions and how we need to make faith-filled decisions in every aspect of our lives. I am soo excited!! Thank You Jesus!

I just needed a sign...

Last night I prayed really hard about a certain situation that I am currently in. It's tough let me tell you, 7 months without a job. I started to doubt because I wasn't seeing any progress in that situation but I know that He revealed to me at the end of last year that I would get a job. I asked Him for a sign. God being so good, did not give me a dream (I really wanted for Him to speak to me in a dream), but rather He spoke to me while I was doing my devotional this morning. He is amazing! It is like He was saying, "Look at the promises I have fulfilled, none of them come back void". The verse is a very simple verse that has sooo much meaning. From Mark 16:19, "...He was taken up into heaven and He sat at the right hand of God." This may not mean anything other than what it is describing but I saw it in a whole different way. You see because during Jesus' short lifetime, He told his followers and disciples that He would die for the world and resurrect on the third day and sit at the right hand of the father. Of course, no one even understood what He was talking about but it was like as if He was making a promise to everyone and Of course He always fulfill His promises. WOW! It really spoke to me and not to mention I have read this same verse many many times! So now I see that God was trying to tell me to continue to be patient and wait upon Him. God has perfect timing and does everything according to His perfect will. So yes Lord, I will wait. Your promises are soo true and never come back void.

To everyone: Sorry this was soo long but I just had to share this.

God Bless You, Nicole

When I am down, You lift me up....

Psalms 3:3 says, "But you are a shield around me, O Lord; You bestow glory on me and lift up my head." When I am down you lift me up Lord! He always sustains me and keeps me focused on Him. You don't need me Lord, but I sure do need you! I thank you Lord for all you do in my life! I am extremely thankful for my family and my life. Sometimes I do not know why I go through these things but it is always for your honor and glory. The ugly situations in our lives, you turn them around and create miracles. Everything happens for a reason! that is something I have def. learned this year! I serve a Mighty God! Amen!

Joshua 1:9-"...Be stong and courageous. Do Not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for

Couldn't Sleep

For some reason I could not sleep, I woke up to read my Bible and then my little bro and sister woke up because they couldn't sleep either. Weird!! So we all read our bible for over an hour and then finally went to sleep. I am new to this new blogging thing and I decided I would put a daily verse everytime I post a new blog. So today's is Isaiah ch.10.

Christmas 2008

Today was a pretty good day! My mom made so much food and Jimmy came over (that is my boyfriend. This Christmas was the most difficult one because I felt a little incomplete. The reason is because my grandpa died on Jan. 1st,2008. It is almost a year and I felt like something was missing. I miss him so much! I am glad that the rest of my family was here with me. I thank God for all He has done in my life and I can't wait until 2009!
