64. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever

Good Afternoon Everyone,

So while I was on tour I was introduced to this devotional book called Jesus Calling. So far, I have absolutely loved it. Especially today. The first couple of sentences for today say this:

This is a time in your life when you must learn to let go: of loved ones, of possessions, of control. In order to let go of something that is precious to you, you need to rest in My Presence, where you are complete.

How amazing is that? It's so true. When I got back from tour I had some time to meditate with God and I realized that to get back some order in my life and to be able to reconnect with God that I needed to pull back from my theatre life. It was such a tough decision but I can see that it will be good in the long run. I have been so caught up in theatre and so involved in it that I haven't been able to connect with God in such a long time. I am so ready to feel the warmth of His secure embrace again.

Let me leave you with some kind words and some verses. The words: if you are struggling with something, take some time with God and let him light the way. Know that He will guide you in the correct way and will be there to guide you always.

The Verses: Psalm 89:15, Hebrews 13:8, and Isaiah 41:13.

Peace,
Seairra

63. Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow, Praise Him All Creatures Here Below....

Hey everyone :D

I'm back on here. I know I started this over a year ago in pursuit of finding true happiness within me and the world and wanting to do a post everyday, but God just wanted me to hold out and I would get back to a good place. And I think I am. A week ago I got back from California where I went on tour in the Bay Area with my schools( North Park) gospel choir. God moved within me so deeply during that tour. I realized that I had really truly missed faith in my life. I go to a Christian university and I call myself a Christian but this tour and God helped me see that I was ready to put God first in my life again. God has helped me so much that I wasn't able to see it until this trip. To those who have heard this from me already, maybe I seem overly enthusiastic about this, but I'm not. I am so in love with God and so excited to be able to fully embrace him. Now I'm rambling, but hey, its in my blog title. I want leave everyone with a video that is of one entire concert we did on tour. This was also the night that everything shifted for me, so I hope it blesses you too. Enjoy.
