How to Stay Pure

   Good Evening all of my fellow bloggers,  
     I apologize for being non-existent for a couple months now, it's just been a busy time of year and will most likely get busier as the Christmas season approaches.  Anyway, here's this Bible Verses that inspired me to write this blog for you tonight: "How can a young person cleanse his/her sinful ways? By living according to Your Word, Lord." ~Psalms 119:9.  and "I will meditate on Your precepts (commandments) and contemplate (think about; reflect) Your ways.  I will delight myself in Your statutes (rules;law); I will not forget Your Word." ~Psalms 119:15-16.
        My thoughts and reflections on the above Bible Verses will be this: In a society where modesty no longer seems to exist especially in certain younger people, this Bible verse couldn't be more fitting.  Honestly, I wish and hope that the younger people of this generation would actually turn to and read the Bible a whole lot more than they currently do.  That is exactly what God wants and prays for always, day in and day out.  I feel that this is My Christian Mission.  It is to go out in this world and try to win more of the young people to Christ.  God has laid this feeling on my heart for quite some time now and it is my fears of rejection that is holding me back from fulfilling this call that God has gracefully placed on my life.  The truth is that this situation scares the heck out of me and I cannot do this all alone.  This is also the specific reason as to why I started the "Fashionably Christian" page on Facebook about a year and a half ago now.
       For the longest time I had very little "likes" on that page and all of a sudden in a matter of a few months, I then received over 300 "likes" on this page; I'm so thankful and full of gratitude for all of the fans on that page.  We all know that I couldn't have done that on my own, but with God's help, He made all of this very possible for me.  So, praise The Lord and Amen to that! Agreed? The fans on this page must truly appreciate and understand what that page actually stands for.  I'm thankful for that too.  I just randomly started that page to be for fun,  but that page means so much more than just that as I'm thinking about it now.  God works through me to bring lots of encouragement and joy to those that need it the most, especially during this time of year which can be quite difficult for a good amount of people during the whole Christmas/ Holiday season.  So, that gives me all the more reason to keep going even when I'm feeling down on my luck recently.  If in the future that I decide to make, "Fashionably Christian" a small, non-profit business, I can only hope and pray that both God, my family, and friends will help me to get through this and to make sure that it will go and succeed to much greater heights than any of us could have ever imagined it to be.  This will be for the future of God's Holy and Eternal Kingdom.   I once read somewhere on social media that "if my dreams don't scare me, then my dreams aren't big enough."
          Well, this is my dream and it does scare me, so I must be doing something right; am I correct? God must think so because He keeps testing me and putting me through certain things that I don't normally do on a daily basis.  If this is truly God's Will for this life, then He will make it possible because He always does especially if it is to further grow His Eternal Kingdom and His Word.  It will be for the good of His Children and their Eternal life.  "Your life will always start at the end of your comfort zone."  Amen? God certainly thinks so.  In conclusion, we should always reflect on God's Ways because that is also exactly what He wants for us too.  As a matter of fact, God wants a lot for us.  We just need to abide in Him and He will abide in us.  We need to have some faith and some trust in Him and He will reveal more of His Perfect Plan for us in His good timing, not in our bad timing.  Now, let's join together in a closing prayer for this blog entry, " God, thank you for revealing and sharing this powerful message with each of us because we in one way or another desperately needed to hear this Word from You, to otherwise make these minor set-backs for this diversely dreadful storm a more bearable time to get where we needed to go no matter how scary or how slow it may currently be to get there from here.  Thank you, Lord, We love You, In Jesus' holy and precious name we pray, Amen."
