Read MoreI then came across a picture that said something like this: “I can't help but wonder how sad it makes God to hear me talk negatively about myself. Saying I'm worthless and ugly.

Read MoreSometimes, the promise changes. Not because of anything I did or didn't do but because someone else involved wasn't obedient. This revelation has really convicted me. How many times have I not been obedient in a specific word God has given me? How did that effect people around me? How has my disobedience, doubt and lack of faith effected other peoples promises? God's will will inevitably be done but, I do believe disobedience and distractions can cause the promise and the way in which it is fulfilled to change. It's very easy to be deceived into thinking God broke His promise. I know because I am currently fighting that.

Read MoreI challenge you to Surrender to Favor.
Read MoreI would be lying if I said that I wasn't scared of being alone on this adventure God has called me to. I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't afraid of never getting married. Never finding that one true love. But in the midst of those very real fears, God has revealed some amazing things regarding this area of life. Rather than focusing on finding a way to fill this fear, He has shown me to focus on who I need to become. While focusing on who I need to become, I will also be pursuing Christ. That is where I will truly find who I am.
