Finishing up an Mdiv Moody Theology Seminary and then going into doctorate school Southern Seminary the following month. Figured I'd post before changing my mind 😅 I hope y'all are well. Also shout-out Refelections On Redemption

The same way you don't grow in the gym until you push yourself beyond your limits, you don't grow in life unless pushing beyond your limits. Thank God for trusting you enough to prepare you for something you can't even see. They say proper preparation prevents poor performance, and who has better preperrerion methods than God? Trust God and fear no darkness.

"God won't give you more than you can handle" is an umbilical Statement. Nowhere does it say that in the Bible, what it does say is that God will sometimes allow you to be overwhelmed with the purpose of realizing He is the one, and the only One, that you can and should rely on. God loves you enough to let you know that He is the source, not you.

I'm so special they write a book about me! 🤣😅🥺 You call them mental disorders, I call it having a spicy brain we are not the same.

Remember that when you experience low moments and despair of life itself that you're not alone. These words were prayed by the prophet Elijah in desperation and hopelessness. Are you feeling hopeless and helpless? Please know that God hears you and sees you. He is the God of compassion and comfort and He doesn't waste pain. Hold on to the Lord in the dark times and get ready to celebrate in the light.
Strength for today, hope for tomorrow
