I have decided...

I have decided to start up a fresh new blog just devoted to all the things God has been teaching me. I just feel the need to share all these ideas He has been putting into my head. Our church congregation has started a 21 day fast and devotional. I'm fasting caffeine. I know most of you guys, that's how you live, but not me...so this will be interesting. I have never done a fast before, so I can't wait to see what God says.

Here's just the thoughts of today...

I'm having trouble recalling now where I read today God saying, "the Holy Spirit came upon them." I think it may have been while listening to the introduction of my devotion, not sure. Anyways, I all of the sudden just started thinking of how many times this comes up. "The Holy Spirit came upon them." This sunday a guest speaker at my church talked about how the virgin mary conceived Jesus. She asked, "how?" and the angel said, "the Holy Spirit will come upon you." When Shadrach, Meschach and Abindego...(excuse the awful spelling) were in the fiery furnace, He was there. The Holy Spirit was present. There are just different incidents in the Bible where God gets to show all He's got. When you have times that don't seem to be looking up or just see your goal or dream as an impossibility...think again. If you choose and allow God to at your right hand, He will be. And if you ask Him to come upon you, He will. His desire is to be wanted by you. If you just ask Him, He is eager.

Think of those things that you think are impossible in your life. Just know, God is bigger than them and with Him, miraculous things happen. He's waiting to show you.


thanks for reading

  1. This is so cool, Samantha! It's crazy sometimes how similar we are and how God does similar things in our hearts at the same time. Our blog will be up soon... hopefully by February. The year is starting off busy with the F1RST Conference but will slow down soon.

    I love you and look forward to reading what Jesus is putting on your heart to share to the world! :)
