I think it is really important to note the rejoicing I have found after such a hard few weeks. God has made some things very apparent to me, and they all came at perfect times. I will humbly say that another attack may be headed my way, but I still need to set the record straight.
Over the past week, I have sought God as hard as I could and have found him for sure. I heard an excellent message at one of the campus ministries. Romans 8:38-40 is what I heard, which is what is written at the bottom of my blog. Nothing can separate us from the Love of Jesus Christ.
Then, i was searching out fruits of the spirit, to for sure know I'm his,and I found what to me, is like a fresh, new realm of spirituality. Those gifts that are never talked about in Baptist church, but scripturally have no reason to believe they don't occur anymore. Friends have been telling me that they have witnessed the Holy Spirit do supernatural things. Tongues, healing, interpretation, and God keeps sending these people to me when I have questions. It has been so refreshing.
Paul even instructs us to seek these gifts. That could be why we dont' see these gifts in the Baptist Church, because they don't believe they still occur since the forming of the Bible. Which they relate to 1 Corinthians 13. Not so though.
Either way, i have just been digging deep (and if you are curious, root through the word! 1 Corinthians 12-14 is where a lot of it goes down) and of course, the book of Acts.
I have once again, that peace that resides in the heart of God's children. I am loving it, not life on earth, but being in God's hands. I will continue to seek God diligently and wait on him to work on me and work through me the way he desires. I desire to live in God's will. Finally! Praise the Lord for the Valley of Sorrow to the River of JOY!!!!
I also jammed out this week, a life song to me is "East to the West" by Casting Crowns. What a great song! Have a great week, and seek First His Kingdom!

i also moved over to blogspot...had a kid and stuff, so i don't blog near as much...in terms of "gifts"...it's hard to say they don't exist, but i've heard some manipulative messages about gifting in my lifetime that have made me a bit skeptical...
