Play-call

For those of you not familiar with sports terms, let me break this down. A Play-call is the term for a plan within a sports game given from the coach to the players on a team. You might know where I’m going with this now. This term could easily relate back to God. The Christian Play-call is the term for an action that God gives a Christian to carry out to glorify his name. Now the way I see it there’s 2 choices on the playing field. You can agree with the play-call and get back in the game or you can argue with the coach on the sidelines. Therefore, we can agree with God’s plan for our life or we can wrestle with him about it and not achieve all God has for us in this life. God is our Coach. Life is the game. The devil is the opponent. The Sidelines are where the devil wants you to be. See, if your sitting on the bench not in the game, the coach can’t use you till your ready to be used. When your on the bench, the devil can say “I don’t have to worry about that one they aren’t activ...

Expectations

Sometimes the expectations for our life mask the reason we are doing it, which is to glorify God. I have a perfect example of this. Today would’ve marked 365 days in my Glorify devotional, sadly I forgot to do it yesterday so now today marks my 1st day of Glorify. I ended at the 363 days. I was devastated, I was trying to convince my parents to pay for me to repair my streak but it wasn’t worth the effort. All I wanted was to take a screenshot of my 365 day streak and prove to everyone that even “a busy high school girl” can make that commitment to God. Therefore, you can too. That was my Expectation . I lost sight of doing it to glorify God. Once it hit that 1 day streak, I felt empty. Now if I wasn’t using it as a crutch, and was doing it for God that streak wouldn’t have affected me as much as it did. Everyday I did it in the morning quickly just to get the streak. God still filled me up with what I needed but he wasn’t the expectation, the streak was. The worst part I made an idol ...

Choices

Hi everyone, I know it’s been a while since my last post but God put something on my heart to talk about right now. I’ve recently had very difficult weeks of school. My mood swings were so frequent and I had little to no time to read my Bible. Because of this, the devil tried hard to tempt me by using my feelings to get to me. However, it took me a while to realize I’m a lot stronger than he realizes. This past afternoon I felt like I was in the pits of darkness. Those times when you feel there’s nobody you can go too. The thing is though, you have a CHOICE. You can choose to go into solitude in order to seek God or to seek depression. See, when you have God you don’t have to rely on your feelings to get you through situations. You can lay down everything you think about, your feelings, and your situations at the foot of the cross. I had a CHOICE. I could’ve seeked solitude to put myself even further down. I could’ve gone on social media and sunk myself deeper into jealously “seeing ho...
