What am I willing to fight for?

By -

God has been pressing on me lately, "What am I willing to fight for." What means more to me than anything. What am I passionate about, and how much does it mean to me.

That may seem like a simple question or for some that may be a very thoughtless question, but for me there is importance. There is value there because if it means something to God then it means something to me.

I know first and formost I would fight for my Faith, I would fight for Christ because I believe so strongly that he has saved me from myself and that is something that I am forever grateful for. He transformed my life from nothing to something. His Love is forever and there is so much value in that for all of us. We need not search anymore because he is all that we need in life. His relationship shall sustain anything we ever thought the world could give us.

Have you ever thought where you might be if not for the Man who saved us. He was brought into this world to give us life and life more abuntantly. How profound, how incredible, so much was given for so little that we have ever done.

Secondly, I thought about what else I would fight for, and that answer would be Providental Relationships. My family classifys in this category because there Love is so amazing and if not for their prayers I would not be where I am today and I would fight to the death for them. They know me better than anyone ever has. That is a value to me.

I would also fight for the realtionships that God has put before me that are of him.  The amazing Christians he has set on my path to help make this life AMAZING. My Mentors, My Mentee, My Friends, My Outreach. I would do anything to make sure that no one harms these relationships. Yes we will have adversity, but nothing can ever break these God ordained relationships. God can move them, but if it's not him moving I will fight. In my spirit I'll know if it is of him, but if not you better believe that the gloves will come off.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17

How about you? What are you willing to fight for? Search your heart and search your soul.

Timing is Everything in Life

Falling back: Harold Lloyd in Safety Last   Photo: Rex I often put pressure on myself to get somewhere, using my own strength to reach these places that "I need to get to." I put a lot of effort into working hard and pressing on. It sometimes becomes a bit much. You can burn out quickly if you are constantly working and rarely enjoying the meaningful parts of life. I was having a conversation with a friend the other day. We were talking about how we work so hard and sometimes it feels as though you are running in circles trying to get somewhere.  We were chatting about how when the most life defining moments happen, they are often accomplished with using no force. It's as though the opportunity had been waiting for us forever and we just needed to wait for that perfect timing. I am learning in life that it's all about timing (and I know what you're thinking reading this yes you are exactly right it's all about timing.) Honestly, we often say it, but

As I think about my life, and reflect on all that God has given me the ability to do. So much has changed over the last couple of years, and what would make me think that things would stop changing because it is inevitable that things will continue to change. I look at my life and I am so thankful, God has given me so much and I truly believe that He has blessed me with so many amazing new opportunities! I have been blessed by my church, and the amazing family it has provided me. I have been given the ability to speak into peoples lives that I never would have thought would be possible. I am so humbled because that was never a goal for me, and yet it has blessed me beyond all words. Lately God has started to shake things up a bit for me as well, and I am still learning that I have so far to go. I am learning so much about where I am that it is crazy. But I am loving that God is providing so many people to speak into my life and stretch me so that I do not remain complacient. I ne

Encouragement is like Water to the Soul, it makes Everything Grow

In life I think back on my journey, and I think about the things that truly matter along the road thus far. I remember people along the way that have encouraged me and supported me. I think most of us in life would agree that encouragement is so important. Most us crave the cheerleaders in life that root for us along the way. Many of us have our parents that have been a source of encouragement, our siblings can often offer support. Hopefully each of you have had a teacher or boss that have encouraged you as well. Looking back on my life I have had some great support in chasing my dreams. I remember I was in the 8th grade at Mascoutah Middle School when I auditioned to host our talent show. I was truly nervous and I had some people that told me I’d never get it. I remember walking into the audition and being so nervous, filled with doubt and fear that it would be impossible to get. I remember auditioning for two grade school teachers, Mrs. Furgeson and Mrs. Bower, I remember wal
