GOD IS SO GOOD!!

I did not know what I was missing until I realized all that I had found. I grew up always believing in "something," but what was that? I had no idea. I didn't grow up in a church or around Bible believing, God fearing Christians. I grew up around your regular, run of the mill, lukewarm types. So I "knew" who God was and I figured that's just what people believed in, so I might as well believe it too, right? Wrong. 

Being a Christian is so much more than just believing that He is someone or something that's greater than us. While that is true, He is so much more. He is a God that loves you more than you can ever imagine. Think about this, He sent His one and only son to DIE for you. Literally, in the flesh, pinned to a cross, FOR YOU. Now if that isn't love, what is? 

July 2015 someone that I knew passed away. We weren't close, but I grew up in a small town and I knew of him, he knew of me, we talked in passing in high school, maybe had a few classes together. That sort of thing. So I am still unsure to this day why his death was what made me really call out for Jesus. This was especially hard for me since I had lost one of my best friends two years prior, in 2013. 

For whatever reason, that I don't need to know the answer to, Jesus used this person's death to reach me. I broke down about what happens to you after you die, where you go, and if you ever get to see the people that you love again. I'm sure that most people think of these things from time to time. 

At the time, I was also dating my now husband. He was born and raised in a church and in a family of firm believers and intentional followers of the Lord. Like I said, I always thought that I believed in God, so it's not like I thought he was crazy. I just didn't fully understand what it meant to be saved by God's grace. 

So the night that I learned of the passing of my friend, I reached out to my husband and asked him to show me who Jesus was. He explained to me that it was a personal relationship between me and Christ. That I had to ask God to come into my life, come into my heart, and live through me. This is where I find out that GOD IS SO GOOD! 

Fast forward to now. God is in my life. God is in my heart. I live and I love like Jesus did. I know that I am a sinner and profess it every day. I know that only Jesus can save me and I profess that He is Lord, every day! I want to live intentionally as a follower of Him and share the good news with YOU that not only will He save you, but He will change you!

Marriage Roles - Specifically the Wife

Everyone has their part to play in many different scenarios. In this we are speaking about the roles we play in marriage as husband and wife. More specifically I am going to speak about the roles of the wife; and even more specifically I am going to obviously be speaking about the Godly roles of a wife. If you have been reading my blog posts thus far or even if you are visiting my site for the first time now, it is apparent that I am a Christian and that this blog speaks on issues from a biblical stand point.  So that's what you get when you read what I have to say, truth from the Bible and the Bible alone. So here it is, being a Godly wife. In order to know what it means to be a Godly wife, we must first understand what the word Godly means. We can get this from 1 Timothy 2:2 in which Paul uses the word in conjunction with peaceful, quiet, and dignified. To be Godly is to be Christlike, also meaning to strive to imitate Christ, who is perfect. Although we all know as sinners

Attention disciples of Christ!

Okay, I know that I said the next post would be a follow up to "What does it mean to have a Christ centered marriage?" but this post has been weighing on my heart. So the next one will be about marriage roles! So here it goes... As Christians in today's world it is very important that we are being BOLD and speaking the TRUTH into the hearts of believers and non believers alike.  You can still be intentional while being gentle to those who need to hear the gospel.  Those who claim to know the gospel but aren't fully understanding it or they're twisting it, we are called by God to correct them.  As a Christian, you are a disciple of Christ! If you recall, ALL of His disciples in the Bible were persecuted for following Him.  It isn't rude or wrong of you to correct the discrepancies that you find in the teachings or beliefs of those who claim to be Christ followers, it's the RIGHT thing to do. It's what Jesus would do! You just a

Salvation & Works: How They Go Together

I have a Facebook group that I run as part of this same outreach, L.A.C.E. In some of the components to this ministry, the L stands for "living," like this blog. But in other cases, like the Facebook group, it stands for Ladies. Anyways, in the group we are becoming more active with the members by having a weekly schedule that we will follow and one of the days, Wednesday, is the Bible Study day! So sometime before Wednesday there will be a poll posted with a few different topics that can be voted on for the study. This week, 'Salvation & Works: How They Go Together' was the winner! I stayed up all night working on this study, and it ended up being 3 pages long. So bare with me, I promise it will be worth it, as this blog post is just going to be that same study that I put together for the group on this topic. Since this was originally created as a study, there are questioned throughout the post that are designed to help you reflect on the word and look to
