Good Evening to all,
I have a word from The Lord to share with you all on here and the message is based off of Joel 2:28-32. "And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of The Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of The Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as The Lord has said, among the remnants whom The Lord calls." ~Joel 2:28-32.
Basically the message from The Lord will be this: Right now we are in a season of repentance and with repentance, comes cleansing, and with cleansing comes miracles and new beginnings! We are going to see some incredibly amazing things start happening and soon! The Lord says that we are ready and to bring it on! I say Praise The Lord and God Bless! Before I heard from The Lord and was lead to read those above passages, I had just had a dream about The Lord and this is what happened to me in the dream: The Lord was holding me and carrying me in His arms over to a big window and we were looking through the big window at something specific together. It was in a room that was filled with endless light. Then shortly after this dream took place, that is when The Lord told me to wake up and get out of bed and look up visions in my Bible, so I did and He lead me to read the following Bible Verses: Acts 11:5; Acts 11:9; Acts 26:19-20; Acts 26: 22-23; Joel 2:28-32.
In addition to all of this, The Lord had given me another word to share with you all last night during my Bible Study time. He told me to look up Salvation in my Bible and so I did. He directed me to this verse: "Yet I will rejoice in The Lord, I will joy in the God of my Salvation. The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills." ~Habakkuk 3:18-19. After reading this Bible passage this is what The Lord's message was to me: He basically wants to deliver us from our sins and to make us swift like Deer's feet. God is unchangeable and He is training us through all of these tough times that we have been put through recently so that He can teach us that He is our strength, He always has been and always will be. So, don't give up and keep fighting the good fight and continue on this long unending journey with The Lord on Your side. He wants us to approach these things with swiftness and gracefulness like the feet of a deer. Do not faint, always run swiftly, give all the glory to God, and don't stop praying.
In conclusion, he is helping us to learn how to be strong in our Spiritual warfare and work, We shall be swift for our Spiritual race, and We shall always be successful in each of our Spiritual enterprises. He is making us Spiritually strong, He's making us (His Church), spiritually swift, and is making each of us spiritually successful! How cool is that? I say Amen and Praise The Lord!

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."

Ask and You Will Receive
"Whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name, Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full." ~John 16:23-24.
Okay, so my thoughts and reflections on the above Bible Verses will be this: Recently, I've been applying to better job opportunities and have had many interviews in this frustrating process and none of them wanted to hire me, and I really cannot figure out why these things are happening. Is it because I'm too old? Do I not interview well? Am I saying all the wrong things? Is it because I have two jobs already? Are they intimidated by me? I really have no answers to any of these questions, but I do know that God does. God must be preparing me for something much bigger and better than any of these jobs down here on earth. It is killing me that I'm stuck in retail and nothing is telling me why I'm still there. I strongly dislike retail. I've been in retail for seven plus years and I'm getting fed up with it. It's time to move on from there and have several new beginnings and experiences.
All of this is up to God and I guess I'm just here waiting for the right opportunity. God's timing is perfect, but His timing at this present moment is taking a little too long and my strength and patience with this is growing very thin. I'm pretty much at the edge and am about to fall over. So, God any time you're ready, I'll be here waiting for you to guide me in the right direction for the right career opportunity. I just need you God, please send me and I will go. All of you are probably wondering what on earth does any of this have to do with the Bible Verses that I shared earlier in this blog. I'm about to tell you how they are related to the previous Bible Verses. I'm thinking that God is putting me through all of these setbacks because I'm either disobeying Him, not listening to Him, or I'm just not asking for the right thing for God to give me. In order to know what this thing or these things are that I need to ask God for what He needs and what He wants me to do for His kingdom. I really just need to take the time to listen and to receive what He is guiding me to do for Him, and not for myself.
Maybe He wants me to "Write for Hope" or maybe not. Maybe He wants me to take lots of pictures and then write special stories about them. But then again, maybe not. I'm really not entirely sure what I'm called to do for Him. Maybe He doesn't think that I'm ready for what He has planned for me yet. Maybe He wants me to do my own business for Him and I'm just not ready to hear and receive at the present moment. Maybe He even wants me to do something in regards to nature and the changing seasons. I guess that whatever it is that He has planned for me; I'm able to do it with all of His divine help and endless grace, mercy, love, and strength. At this point in time, my opportunities are endless but have to be within reason. I do love working at Michael's but it's only part-time and the hours can be very limited, so that's not easy at all. For example, I have this friend and I never would have imagined that she would be travelling all over the world, just like she has been lately. She seems to love it, so good for her.
She lives without fear and that's exactly what I admire the most about her. If you tend to be the one who lives without fear of the future then all of your possibilities can be endless. Whatever you decide to do in the future, you need to make sure that you do it with a joyful heart, for The Lord, and really make sure that you have complete peace about it. Because if you don't have any peace about it, then don't do it. Trust me, you will not be very happy about it. When you do any type of job, you first need to make sure that it's all according to God and His plan for your life and second, you've got to be happy doing it because this is most likely the job that you'll be doing for the rest of your life and straight through until you retire and then when you are called to go home and be with The Lord. Do we all agree with that? Okay good. Let's all join together and say, "Amen! All the time God is good and God is good all the time!" We're all incredibly blessed. So, amen to that! How awesome is that? Pretty awesome right? I agree. Once again Amen to that!

Breaking Bad Habits
"But His delight is in the law of The Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth it's fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper." ~Psalm 1:2-3. Prosper means to be successful and fortunate.
"Then I said to you, 'Do not be terrified or afraid of them. The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness you saw how The Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.' Yet, for all that, you did not believe The Lord your God, who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day." ~Deuteronomy 1:29-33.
What do each of these Bible verses have in common? Well, the answer is that they are both about breaking bad habits and forming new ones, and also that if we obey Him and do His will for our lives, then we will be very successful and fortunate too. But first, you must obey Him and have a faithful relationship with Him. It's a lot of hard work and dedication, but in the end, as I always say, it will definitely be worth it and paid off fully. I have been a faithful follower of Christ for four years now and it absolutely, positively has been worth it every single step of the way. It was the best decision I could have ever made in my entire life. No, it's not always easy, but I'm going to keep doing it until the day I die, and even after I die, I'll be in heaven still doing it.
You guys can have the exact same relationship with The Lord, if you will just let go and give it all to God. He knows exactly what you are going through and He will help you through it all, just trust Him and have an open mind and an open heart too. Yes, I do have two imperfect retail jobs that I'm really not too fond of, but I am truly grateful to have those two jobs because without them then I'd absolutely be screwed, especially when it comes to annoying bills every single month. They will not disappear, so we have to deal with them until we go home to The Lord. I know and trust that God has a large vision for my life, I just don't know what it is yet; but what I do know is that when He's ready and I'm ready, He will reveal it all to me at the right time. For example, the current situation that I'm in is only temporary and not permanent. It's hard for me to remember this at times because of a bad day that I might have at a certain time. For those of you who have and still work in retail knows exactly how good or bad it can be on a daily basis. Agreed?
I just want you all to know that no matter how good or how bad your present situation is, you need to remember that it is only temporary and not permanent. It is just a stepping stone to something bigger and better than any of us could have imagined, just be patient and wait, because I have a feeling that God is starting to shift things in our favor. Big changes are coming so be prepared, because I sure am. We need to be ready, willing, and waiting to take on whatever it is that God has planned for us. I'm excited! Are you? Let's hope so and let's be ready to move full steam ahead! If God tells you, "yes" about something, then there should be nothing stopping you and nothing will stand in your way, Amen? I can't hear you! Come on, let's say Amen! Praise The Lord! God is good all the time and all the time God is good! Amen and Amen!

Revival
Good Evening my Blogger friends,
I know that it's late, but I need to share this with you. "How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep?" ~Proverbs 6:9.
My thoughts and reflections on this verse will be this: Basically what this is telling us is the fact that until America wakes up, revival will not happen anywhere any time soon, so we've got to keep praying, trusting, and believing that the longer, more intense that we pray for revival, the sooner and quicker that it will happen. How can we not be desperate enough to make a revival happen? Look at all these things that are going to keep happening until we just give it all up and come to God. Why are we so stubborn? We need to work together as Christian's to make this revival happen; Now whose with me? Are we going to stand up for what's right or are we just going to sit back like fools and let all these unspeakable things continue to happen?
I'm not sure about you guys, but I sure as heck cannot just sit back and let these bad experiences happen, I feel as if I need to do something soon, I just have no idea what to do or or where to go to make these good experiences start happening. "Lord, I need your guidance and direction on this particular topic, please Lord, can you help me? I need you so badly right now. Thank you, Lord, I love you, Amen." It's like every single day that I put on the news, there's more bad news to hear, well guess what? I'm so sick of all this bad news, it's really about time to start hearing some good news around here instead of always bad news. Do we agree? Let's move on now, I feel like The Lord is calling on me to become an encourager instead of a prayer warrior. However, maybe I'm called to do both of these things and I just fully don't know that yet, but in His timing, He will tell me exactly what it is that He needs me to do for Him.
After all, The Lord is The One Who will always direct my steps; Whatever He tells me to do, I will surely do it because if I don't do it, then that is considered being disobedient to The Lord and I cannot and will not be the one to disobey Him. He is The One Who created me and I cannot picture myself as being the disobedient one to our Creator. God made me special for a reason and I'll soon find out why He made me so special. The time is now, so let's start moving forward, step-by-step, come on, let's go! I'm ready are you? If not then you need to get ready and be ready like we as Christian's are. In order to be that encourager, I have took it upon myself to make a separate Facebook page to fulfill that duty that God has placed on my heart so graciously, and it is called, "Fashionably Christian." Makes sense right? I will place the link down below and I'm going to encourage you all to go and please "like" that page. I truly believe that it will help those of you who are reading my blog currently and are struggling in any aspect of your own lives that really need to hear this today or tonight depending on where you are currently. Yes, there may be some particularly disturbing pictures on there, but don't let that stop you. It's all just a part of what I'm trying to do here for The Lord.
I really am just trying to help those who cannot help themselves, so please will you join with me in helping those who can't help themselves? Please? Thank you and God Bless!

Living Sacrifices to God
Good Afternoon all of my fellow bloggers,
I would like to share with you a very powerful Bible Verse that I had come across while I was reading my devotionals last week at some point.
I chose this Bible Verse because it jumped right out at me the other night as I was reading this. My thoughts and reflections on this Bible Passage are this: when I was reading this particular passage, I had quite a strong and powerful experience that overcame my entire body, this probably sounds crazy, but the truth is it's not. When God speaks to you it is an enormously powerful blessing and gift coming down from The Lord. Let me ask you a question; Do you want to hear The Lord speak to you on a daily basis? If the answer is yes, then I'll be the one to tell you how to actually go about doing that. Here it goes: First, you have to be ready and willing to hear God speak and you must always have an open mind and an open heart that is fully ready and fully committed to The Lord, did you get that? Okay, let's move on. In order to receive His Word, you need to find a quiet place to get closer to Him, He often speaks to us through His Word, through another person, and pretty much any possible way that He can actually speak to you. Sometimes, He'll just come and talk to you in General, you won't see Him, but you will hear Him, trust me.
When I was a lot younger than I am now, He was speaking to me in my quiet and calm house, there was nobody home and it was just me, the cat, and a muted TV. Mind you this was way before I was saved. He kept trying to talk to me in person and I didn't want to listen to what He was saying, so I just completely ignored it and unmuted the TV. But boy was I regretting not being able to accept His Word, had I been saved back then, I would have really enjoyed being able to hear specifically what His message was trying to tell me. However, now that I am saved, I'm forever grateful to Him for saving me before it was too late. Back then both my heart and my mind were closed to so many things, it was pretty sad, believe me. I just wasn't having it and I could not understand or even try to comprehend what it was that He was trying to share with me.
So finally one day, I came to my senses and I let Him save me. I let Him save me because I passionately hated what my life was like back then, it was just a disaster waiting to happen. I just wanted to be done so that I could feel good again and have a happy, healthy, life full of love from Him and from everyone else around me too.
I dedicated my body and my life fully to Christ. A few years after I was saved that is when I met Derek and knew that he was the one I'm going to marry one day. Here we are two and a half years later and still going strong. I just can no longer imagine my life without Him, my family, or Derek. Anyway, we're getting off the subject here, let's get back on topic now. I began doing daily devotionals, having long conversations with The Lord, going to church, singing with the praise band, etc. In addition to that, I started to really focus and listen to what Father Mike was and still is preaching about to this very day. Since I've become saved, The Lord has been and always will be good to me, I just have to remain faithful to Him in order for these things to continue to happen to me. I'm proud to say that Father Mike has and will always continue to teach me all of these new things about God that I never could understand before. To this present day, I still don't fully understand some of the things that we've been talking about recently, but that's not going to stop me from continuing to learn them and to understand more about Him in the future.
It brings me great comfort and joy knowing that He will always provide for me; for us rather, no matter how complicated certain things get. He has always been there for us through good times and bad, richer or poorer, and through thick and thin too. Please trust in Him, He knows precisely what He will do for us in His perfect timing. We need to pray and listen, Trust Him fully and completely, be dedicated, and pray, pray, pray. Then and only then is when our real revival will come. Amen? God Bless!

I would like to share with you a very powerful Bible Verse that I had come across while I was reading my devotionals last week at some point.
