The Perks of Writing a Blog While Growing

One of the perks of writing a blog and being in a place of widespread personal development is trying to figure out which parts to broadcast and which ones to just plain-old keep private. I say all of that borderline sarcastic. To add even more into the mix, I personally use different art mediums to communicate things that I go through and to even show how I get through things. Some things will remain private moments as not everything is always needed to be made public.

Over the Summer and through the Fall I started a self-portrait series using photography in which I photographed myself in both staged and non-staged environments to retell events that I’ve gone through, to display battles I was facing in those current moments, and to capture what I hoped to eventually step into and embody. As I progressed through the project, I began to feel tapped out of things to say through photography. I was at a loss for words when it came to blogging. Even my journal was dry through those months.

Waging War in the Maze of Your Mind

We are told as Christians that we demolish arguments and every claim that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). But what happens when we try to wage war in the battlefield of our minds but our actions are still rebellious towards God? What happens when we really believe that we are within the will of God in a moment’s time, only to have Holy Spirit correct us and bring to our remembrance the fundamentals of our faith we seemed to have forgotten? One of them being OBEDIENCE.

Are You Commonly Practicing Unbelief in God?

I was reminded in my Jesus-time this morning and reading the Jesus Calling book, a sister in Christ gave to me last night, I absolutely have to submit every ounce of my planning to God. I did not realize that planning, even little things or trying to figure out how I was going to be able to pay this bill or that bill or what I can do in the physical realm to progress financially or in any and all careers that I desire to have, were all ways that I had been practicing and having disbelief in God.
