Victory and Patience

 


In trying times such as these, with war on the horizon in many countries, a president who doesn't really care for the well-being of his citizens, and much more happening, the world seems to be crumbling before our eyes. But, we must put our hope in the Lord. Things may seem dire, but as believers we are set apart from the world. God will keep us. Keep in mind that might not look like what you want it to, but it will be what you need. Be still, wait for the Lord, and keep faith in Him. He loves you.

God is Good in Times of Need

God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good. Today, I went through a mini crisis at school. The city in which I abide in for college underwent a "Boil Water" advisory. I called my mother and immediately she put out the word, and today I saw the full extent of the support system in my corner. I wouldn't have had this if it weren't for the Lord and His goodness. He keeps showing me that He is good, and faithful even when I am not. As the scripture says, "...Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him." And I am truly blessed, and truly favored.

We are God's Creation

Some who can sing, some who can draw, who act, make clothes, and a plethora of other things. And as I sat there listening to all the young, talented singers, I was in awe of God's creations. And thankful, that God allows us to speak to Him, to ask Him questions, to give Him our sorrows, and He turns those sorrows into something new. God is the ultimate creator, and He can do more than we can think or imagine once we put ourselves into His hands, and go after His heart.

My Journey to Veiling

Image
 For a long time, I have felt a pull. As a child I would have, as my mom would call them, "phases." Sometimes, I didn't want to wear anything but skirts and dresses, covering nearly every inch of my skin, or I would want to keep my head covered. Things like this that happened so consistently over the years, and in a pattern. But, some insecurity or another would cause me to drop my phases. It wasn't until I got to college that I understood what my calling was.  I personally believe that every Christian has their own walk with God, and what one does to get closer to Him, the other might not need to do. I had always been deeply uncomfortable if I wore something that I felt was too revealing, or too form fitting. And it didn't necessarily stem from insecurity of my own body, but a feeling of being immodest. Modesty can be a loose term, and what can be immodest for one person, doesn't make it immodest for the next. When it comes to modesty, for myself, I was drawn...
