Does The World See Jesus In ME?

So many times I walk around on my high horse. No, I don't think I'm holier than thou as some people think I am at times. I walk around campus Monday - Thursday! I started listening to Sister Arlene Davis from a YouTube video and she said she wanted her light to shine and she wanted people to see Jesus in her! I got to thinking... Do People See Jesus In ME? I begin to question myself. You know, when you begin to question yourself, alot of times God will give you an answer. My roommate came in today and she asked me to pray for a situation she's in. When someone trusts you to pray for them, then they must see something in you. She really wants God to move in this situation so that let me know that people do see Jesus in me! Momma even told me how many people have told her they look up to me! I'm not bragging on myself at all. We all sin and come short of the glory but just knowing that people look up to me is the best thing ever. If they look up to me then they must see something in me!!! This Jesus in me is utterly amazing(:

Yes, this was a short post but it was just a thought I had and wanted to share! So always ask yourself before doing something... Will the world see JESUS in ME if I do that?

Changes(:

Have you ever walked in church and felt like Oh My Word Everyone In Here Is Looking At Me And They Know I've Failed God... because I have. Truth is, everyone fails God. Recently, I really messed up. I felt like I was going through a dry spot! What I didn't realize is that all I had to do was call on God and he'd breathe the breath of life into me! 1) The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley, which WAS full of bones, 2)  and caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and lo, they were very dry. 3) And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 4) Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 5) Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 6) and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 7) So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8) And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 9) Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10) So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army - Ezekiel 37:1-10 If Ezekiel could make the bones get up and live again, what makes me think that my God COULDN'T??? God CAN & HE DID! He breathed the breath of life back into me!! Sunday, September 4, 2011, we had a guest preacher at church. His wife got up and gave her "preachimony". She began to say all we have to do is tell God "Breathe on my Lord, just breathe on me" and He will. She used her child as an example. She said Hayden bothered her and her husband about getting a DSI. Anytime she'd open her mouth she would say DSI DSI DSI. They got her that DSI. If we just say God Breathe on me over and over, He's going to do it! Keep pressing through and he will! I thank God for the blessing he poured out on me Sunday! I have my prayer life back now all because HE BREATHED ON ME!!

Don't Call Me An OUTCAST!

I started college on August 16! WOW!! I knew it was going to be different from high school, but my goodness, I didn't know it was going to be THIS different! I mean, I knew I was going to be different! I wanted to be different! I mean it's plan in the Bible! Matthew 5:14 - Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. That's what I wanted! I wanted to be different! I wanted my light to shine, and I didn't want to be different just because I'm the girl that only wears skirts! I wanted to be different because I wanted people to see a light in me! When people look at me, I want them to see Jesus!! I'm in this world, but not of this world! Revelation 18:4 - And I heard another voice from Heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Boy did I get a wake up call of just how different I am!! Everywhere I went all I heard was "Did you get the Carter 4?" "Are you going to Shakey Jakes tonight?".
UGGGHHHHH!!! I wanted to scream!!!!!! I actually cried! I cried on my mom's shoulder and Steven's shoulder! I was so used to walking down the halls of my high school and having people TALK to me and not look at me like I'm some weirdo who's walking around in a skirt! I thought it couldn't get better. I didn't want to compromise, to reject my conviction, so I didn't! I kept my standards and kept walking to class proudly wearing my skirts! People began talking to me, some whom I still don't know. They knew me but I didn't know them. So through all of this I realized that God is going to protect his people! He's not going to let us down. He never promised a bed of roses, but He promised He'd be with us through every situation! (:
