for it being my first time teaching about Jesus w other people, I CRUSHED it! It was so much fun and I would do it again!!
This is just one step closer to being comfortable talking and communicating w people and also overcoming the fear of talking about Jesus!
I want to reach for God more than I reach for my phone. When I’m bored, when I’m seeking acceptance, when I’m looking for entertainment or answers, when I’m alone and needing someone to talk to.. let it be Jesus instead.
God did not look at fallen man and choose to save him based on his works. He worked to save people because He loves us despite our works. We cannot earn God’s love, He freely loved us first. Jesus died to to save all those who would believe in Him, not all those who deserve Him.
If you are in Christ, you are no longer enslaved to sin. You are free from sin, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be tempted to sin. You no longer have to sin, but that doesn’t mean you’ll never sin again. If you are in Christ, there is no longer condemnation for sin. Turn to Him.
NEW CREATION IN CHRIST—
I GOT BAPTIZED!!
there is so much I could say right now and much more tears I could shed—but to keep it simple.
Thank you….thank you for all the love, tears and celebration for me.

Your identity isn’t in a man,
Your identity isn’t in fame,
Your identity isn’t in sex performance
Your identity isn’t in appearance.
Your identity IS in Jesus Christ.
He doesn’t change, everything else will.
God sees those tears and He feels every single heartbreak you’ve faced. I know it’s dark. I know all hope seems to be lost. but God does His greatest work in the most unlikely circumstances— cling to Him a little tighter.
You could be in a room full of riches, treasures and pleasure , but if Jesus was in the corner would you still pick Him? That’s the level of put ‘God first’ we need to be on.
anyone else ever wish that Jesus would just physically walk in your room, sit next to you and say “okay so here’s what you’re gonna do...” or just me.😭😭😭
