So last week was spent on me just being me. I went back to my hobbies and got some things done. That’s one of the things that stresses me out at times. I have so many hobbies and kick it to the back burner then I don’t get to it and things pile and then I feel overwhelmed. Eesh.
Last night I finished a Bible study plan on my app called —- I forgot the title lol but it was about not dwelling on your past sins, that Jesus is the Rock when you are at rock bottom. Many times we carry our sins farther than we should. God already forgave us for it but we keep bringing it up to him. The bad thing about that is it can paralyze us from moving forward and doing the things that He wants us to do and has created for us to do. I don’t want to miss that. I don’t want to be blindsided and miss my purpose here on earth. Besides, it’s such an awful feeling. Why do we keep hanging on to it? Do we not believe God when he tells us that our sins have been forgiven?
Honestly this wasn’t what I was going to blog about. I woke up and did my Bible study and just by looking up scripture I was so hyped! I had many things to say but now it has all gone away. Starting this now shows me that God wanted me to blog about this instead. I’m so grateful because that’s what I want is to blog what HE wants me to.
Something I’m proud of 🙂
Back to last week and me taking a break. Being a blogger and really this can apply to anything in life, there’s always that thought in the back of our minds that things need to be done a certain way. According to who? There’s only 1 thing that matters on getting it perfectly right and that’s when it comes to things spiritual. That’s according to me. And I believe God, too. He wants us to obey him. Obedience requires us to do it right, the way we are told to do it. I don’t know where I’m going with this. I’m just typing whatever comes to mind. Sorry if it’s all jumbled.
So I thought about my blog colors, my blog theme, my logo and that they don’t match. And I said to myself that I need to “change and correct it.” But then I realized that wait, this is me! I love color and it doesn’t have to match. I’ll take fun over matching any time. Like boho and hippie.
The perfectionist in me wants to follow and do things the way I’m told to do it. But there’s also the side of me that’s fun, even though outwardly I don’t seem like a fun person. But I really am! I’m loud and weird and crazy! So because this is my blog I can do what I want and bring out that side of me. And that’s why I had a moment this morning because I allowed myself to accept that about me! Like, a light clicked in my head. I can’t tell you how free that made me feel.
I thought about a blogger who said to blog about whatever my passion is except don’t blog about religion or politics. I became a lifestyle blogger so that I can blog about different things but really I only want to blog about my study time with GOD and spread the Gospel. When I blog about other things it’s like I’m forcing myself and that it’s unnatural, and out of my element even with things that I have experience with. I don’t know if other bloggers feel like this.
Well, I noticed and I’ve known that being in the word lifts me up and gives me confidence, keeps me excited about GOD! I’ve been praying for zeal and knowledge. I know God will deliver.
Oh, we discovered the Dollar General penny deals and Walmart clearance deals. It’s so exciting! Last week I found my first penny item which was stationery. I couldn’t believe it! I also found some rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizers but had to put it back because it was priced mistakenly. That was embarrassing. Picked up some leggings at Walmart for $1, flip flops, scissors, pencils, washi tape and hand wipes for 50 cents! Then went out to get some Starbucks. Omg, this is a new addiction!
So about the Gospel, here it is:
