“What will the Galaxy 5G Phone really change?”

A young girl holding her new Galaxy smartphone asked that profound question. 

Yes, I know you are thinking, is she really talking about a commercial. 

I am. You see, this one commercial about a new smartphone got me thinking. What will my outlook on life at this moment really change? What impact can my words or actions really have in the world we are living in right now? 

As I watched the commercial, a spokesperson for the smartphone went on to state that the phone would change way more than what the girl thought. 

Wow, what a simple answer to such a complex question but maybe simplicity is what I need to focus on right now. 

Half of my friends on social media agree with every aspect of the social distancing while the other half are calling for conspiracy. I have a few friends in the middle and some friends are just trying to make it through each day. I do not post a lot about Covid-19 because, quite frankly, I do not feel qualified on either side. I don’t trust what I read on the internet or social media. So, I revert to not saying much at all, but, is that wise? 

I may not be qualified on the current situation we find ourselves in but I am qualified to proclaim the one piece of truth that will make a difference. 

Just as the commercial declared with one simple statement: the smartphone would change way more than she thought. I have to believe THIS will as well:

Listen to me. 

God is the answer. 

Whatever you are feeling today: hopeless, scared, confused, angry, overwhelmed, worried, content, stressed, exhausted, weary, or just plain bored. My God will fulfill you. 

He is the hope you need 
(Romans 15:13) 

He will calm your fears 
(Deuteronomy 31:8, Isaiah 43:1, 1 John 4:18) 

He will bring clarity to your mind
 (1 Corinthians 14:33)

He will help you control your anger 
(1 Corinthians 10:13, Ephesians 4:26, John 13:35)

He will bring peace to your worried heart 
(Matthew 6:25-34) 

He will strengthen you 
(Isaiah 41:10, Psalm  46:1-3, Matthew 11:28)

He will sustain you 
(Psalm 55:22)

He is all you need today, tomorrow, and forever

And He is enough 
(Philippians 4:19, 2 Corinthians 12:9) 

Do you find yourself needing a reset button? Seek God. Search the scriptures. Cry out to Him and watch Him renew your spirit. 

So, yes, tonight I found myself in an “AHA” moment direct from a smartphone commercial 😂😂 

And my conclusion is this:

My words and my actions are on full display every single day. Everything I say, do, think, and believe should be based on and for Christ. Why would living in a pandemic be any different? 

Living boldly for Christ and loving boldly for Christ will change way more than I could possibly imagine!

Unwavering Peace

As a child I had the privilege to grow up in a Christian home. I went to church and learned about God and I heard things like “Peace that passes all understanding”  Philippians 4:7 “Don’t stress or worry about tomorrow because God is in absolute control.” Matthew 6:34 Isaiah 14:24 Jeremiah 29:11 These truths were etched in my mind early but I wouldn't truly know what they meant until later in my life. As time went on, my parents taught me about God on a deeper level because through them, I had a front row seat to see how these truths actually played out in life. You see, there is always a choice to be made when circumstances arise. The choice to stand fast and trust God or the choice to crumble and let the troubles of this life overtake you. As a young girl, I watched my parents make the choice to remain faithful over and over. Through every hardship, every pain, and every heartache they chose God EVERY SINGLE time.... and they still choose God!!! ...

The Sprint… The Marathon… The Race… The FINISH!!!

I saw this tweet the other day from one of my favorite Christian artists growing up. Although I do not agree with the situation of his quote, there are a couple of parts that really got me thinking.  Kirk Franklin’s words read, “No sprints, but marathons… However long the race takes… Running at your pace… That won’t stop me from running.” If you know the situation and know the reasoning behind this tweet I am not wanting to focus on that at all. My sole focus is on this crazy race . What does it truly mean to run (with endurance) the race set before us (Hebrews 12:1) ? What does it truly mean when it says that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize, So run that you may obtain it (1 Corinthians 9:24 )? What does it truly mean to press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14) ? This race is vigorous. This race is extensive. This race is excruciating. This race discomforts.  The Bible...
