Xtra- A-Z Writing Challenge

-

Today in my A-Z Writing Challenge I am on X word of the day So what better day to use this as a free writing day that I will call “Xtra.”  


I will start with giving Jesus some Xtra praise and glory today for losing 42 lbs since February. All it took is some accountability.  I have been staying with my mom and she has been coaching me along the way. I am stoked,  I am on a new path with my weight loss to get down under 200 lbs.  Yes I ballooned up and I felt yucky.   I am feeling 100 percent better. I thank you Jesus and I am excited to get to my goal. 


I am really excited about my new writing challenge. It is going to be a whole lot tougher but still another A-Z Writing Challenge…but this time it will be a poetry challenge.   I am looking forward to seeing how it pans out. It is going to take my spending more quality time with GOD. I really enjoy spending time with Him and will reap the benefits of writing poetry.  


On this challenge though, sometimes I could not get to writing everyday. So it may take more than one day to come up with a Christian themed poem. I hope not i want to really attempt to write everyday to  hone in on my passion for writing encouraging and blessing others through what God has given me.


What other Xtra can I write about but my Jesus.  He is my everything and I would not even exist without His leading and guiding me. Life can be such a roller coaster ride with many ups and downs and twists and turns!!! Thankfully Jesus is on that rollercoaster with us taking us to new highs and lows in him as we submit to His plans we can rest assured that HE will never leave us. 


I want to leave you with a scripture for today. 


“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.”Romans 8:28   


At times in our lives we do not see things working in our favour. But the God that I serve is “working” behind the scenes. He is doing a good work in, for and through us even when we do not really think He is.  


How many times we fret and think that God has left us or is silent.  Have you ever heard the phrase that during the exam the teacher is quiet? Thank you Jesus for making us look beyond our feelings!!! Thank you for working when we don't even realize it. Open the eyes of our hearts to see your hand of deliverance upon us.

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni

Someday

FiveMinuteFriday One day the time will come when we breathe our last breath and close our eyes one last time...There is nothing we can do to stop that.  It is just one fact of life we all have to deal with. Death is inevitable, it will happen we can be sure of that. We cannot avoid it. Someday that door will open, and we will close the door to this life we now live... Are you ready for that "someday?"  The fact is that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. we should at all costs live each day as if it was our last day. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow was your last day to live on this earth, how would you do things differently or would you be content with the life you have lived up until this point?   As for me, I have always had a belief that there is a heaven and a hell.  I had a born-again experience at the age of eighteen.   It was after a very convicting church service. I had grown up in that church and was going through all the motions; but something signi

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
