Making important life decisions from a heart that is Guided by God

                                        

Decisions from the Heart

It isn't always easy when we make decisions that may change the course of our lives. When we make decisions that aren't approved by the heart, we only hurt our core and derail from the path that will take us to our greatest potential. Sometimes we want to make the most money and sometimes we want to have the highest positions. Does this mean that we are doing what we love to do? Does this mean that we can fully grow into our greatest inner potential. In my opinion, we are doing ourselves no favors by choosing what makes us more mundanely happy, like working that top job that we get no break from. Working for people that takes away our energy and drive. God knows how to put us in the positions that we want and the life that we want to live. God knows exactly who your are meant to be and God can help you unlock every door in your life that can lead you into your highest being. I once thought that I had to make a lot of money to feel really happy and to be able to do the things I wanted to do with my children. When I took the offer to be a volunteer at an elderly day care center, I saw what it was to be fully selfless, and to help those who are vulnerable and in need, without a financial reward. This changed me, it made me see that my heart, my strongest organ, beating through the grace of God, was made to love unconditionally. I learned to really have love for people I did not know. This is what made me so happy when I got my job as Youth Support Worker. It was no longer about how much money I make, it was now about the changes that I make in the lives of others. My job has been so good to me. I work with really fantastic people who have great energies and who are all very supportive. They understand my role as Key Worker and also my role as a mother and a woman of God. They respect that, and I respect them for it. They accept me as Christ did. My life has changed for the better, and if there is anything that I can do to let people know that God is truly in control I will do it. Without God, I don't think I would have the wisdom to truly make the right choices. 

I would like to encourage everyone to take some time out and just talk to God, let God know that you are aware of the decisions before you and that you will use the heart that he gave you to help lead you to your destiny. God will grab you up like his long lost child and hold you close for the rest of this life. 

Bible Verse for today: 1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 

Thank You - My Poem to God at my Baptism

I wrote a poem for my testimony at my baptism and I have been getting great feedback for it, I would like to give all of my thanks to God, as I did in my poem. 

I do appreciate everyone who liked it, just know that there is a poem, story, song and piece of artwork in each and everyone of us. 

Below is a copy of the poem that I wrote to God. 

THANK YOU

Thank you for the life that you gave me,

was blessed to know you even as a baby

No matter what age I always knew

that you love me and I love you

I thank you for shining so bright when I felt like

I was losing my way 

with a love like yours there's no need to ever stray

I remember being up stressing all night

and you were that best friend inside my head

Telling me to get some rest, saying "my beloved

go to bed"

For weeping my endure in the night, but joy comes

in the morning

And just like that I fell asleep and my sadness 

left without warning

I thank you for removing from my life, those

who are evil and replacing them with your

beautiful and wonderful people

You never forsake me nor make my circumstances 

break me

And when the world try to shake me

you would always save me

God I thank you, I thank you for loving me unconditionally 

I thank you for providing in my time of need

I thank you for planting every seen in me

and helping me to grow accordingly

I thank you dear God for operating every door

I'll thank you today, tomorrow and forever more.

Finding faith and Christ, then being baptised!

My walk with Christ- Journey from being broken to being baptised.

So, there I was December 31st 2017, getting ready to be baptised in the house of the Lord. Not knowing, just a day before if I would be getting my holy cleansing. I had been battling this feeling of fear inside of me, having doubts on whether I would be a good Christian and servant of the lord.

(2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind")

I was overwhelmed, after just a few months of being saved and having a new support system and family in Christ. God's mercy on me has been too good for me not to be obedient to his word. I always knew of the Lord, I was also very familiar with the stories of the Bible and majority of the people in the Bible, and sometimes I felt like that was enough. Knowing is good, but being is even better.

Above is a half an hour video of what happened leading up to my baptism and some testimonials of mine.

Throughout this blog I will be getting more in depth with my faith and many topics that may arise with young Christians and new Christians (like myself).

Please do not hesitate to contact me at godandgolden@gmail.com to discuss topics and ideas.

God is good, he's done everything for us to live and enjoy life the way that we do. I give God all the praise and I give God all the glory. Forever and ever, AMEN.
