Changing Life

     One of the greatest things I think I've ever heard is that YOU can't change someone's life. God has to do that. No matter how hard you try to convince them to be better, God is the One who decides if it happens or not. He has to open up their heart to what you are saying. God may choose you to be the deliverer of His Word to them or He may have a better idea to open their eyes to the Truth. Whether it's your best friend, your boyfriend, or someone else, you can't change their ways unless God has it in His plan for them.
     You can try all you want, but after a while of spending time with them, their unholiness will start to take over your life instead. While you may want to be the light for them, their darkness is slowly putting out your fire. You're getting contaminated by them.
     So even if they are your boyfriend or best friend, it's time to take a break from them. If they aren't living for God they are probably holding you back. But you need to keep moving forward. Even if it is a tough loss. Remember it's all part of God's divine plan for us.

Do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. -Matthew 10:19-20

 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11

Sunk

          Have you ever felt like you've sunk? Hit rock bottom, failed, or gotten stuck?            What happens if a boat isn’t built with the correct materials? It sinks. What happens if its load is too heavy? It sinks. What happens if it gets a crack or hole in it? It sinks.            Just like a boat can sink, our lives can sink too. If our strength isn't found in Jesus Christ, we can't have the correct materials to stay afloat. God is the sole provider of everything that we need to live joyful, fulfilling lives. Without God in us, we don't have the tools and resources to keep our boats from sinking.            Our lives can easily become overwhelmed with stress, anxiety, and other problems that weigh us down. You have to be cautious about how these things are pulling your life. Is your stress chained to your ankle like an anchor pulling you down? Take a step back and evaluate what is dragging you down in your life and what you can do to fix it. Things

What To Do When You Feel Like Your World Is Falling Apart

          So obviously you feel like your world is falling apart, or else you  wouldn't be here on this blog right now.  Sometimes in life, things go wrong that you can't understand and that is 100% OK. Whether its from a relationship, a friendship, a job, or any other situation, here are a few things you can do to make yourself feel better. 1.  Look At Your Relationship With God           The number one reason why you probably have no hope left is because you have put more effort into other aspects of your life than you have into your personal relationship with God.  Think of this less as a tragedy and more as a wake up call.  God is calling you to come back to him.  You have to take more time to pray and read the Bible and make Him your number one priority again. 2.  Look At What Went Wrong           Take a step back and really think about it:  Was the situation unhealthy? Was it dragging you down and draining you emotionally?   You  don't need anything that
