Learning to Walk Again

-


I don't know why I stopped writing, I just did...

A lot has happened  since my last blog post.

Imagine everything  is going fine in your life, though there were some hills you had to climb you knew that you were on the right path and making good headway. Then the next time you look back, or look up; you  realize how far off the path you actually are. Now lost, alone, and  know so much time was wasted-you panic.  Scared there is no way to return, and you don't know how you got to this point... 
Embarrassingly, that describes me.

I headed out without a map, thinking I knew the way. Sadly, I became lost on my journey. School took all my focus, and then working multiple jobs drove me to do better financially; and set my priorities differently. Though I excelled in what I sat out to do, I didn't get the satisfaction I thought I would.

It surprised me how I got to where I am currently. Now, looking back, I can see everything with a different understanding. There were warning signs. However, I subconsciously  chose to ignore them as I didn't know how to read  or apply it to my situations and interactions. Boundaries were set for myself, but  always hovered close to the line- without ever crossing over.  I thought I was fine.

I'm go grateful that God doesn't give up on us! Though we make MANY mistakes in our lives; He still sees us as His dear children. We screwed up in the past, and  we will still mess up in the future; however, we are given the scriptures to help guide us on the right path.

James 4:10 KJV
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

I realize now that I got distracted... became comfortable  in my surroundings, let my emotions rule and control me, chose a crowd that wasn't edifying to be in, and made myself too busy to do the things I should have been doing; for what really matters.

Romans 12:2 KJV
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Philippians 4:4-9 KJV
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. [5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. [6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. [7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. [9] Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

And the verse which I now base my blog on;

Colossians 3:1-2 KJV
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.


This past year, and currently, I've been examining my life and the areas that needs to be improved. 
Due to fracturing my 5th metatarsal back in February, I've had a of of time to analyze my life.

I want to live for the Lord again, and strengthen my walk (both spiritually and physically).  One step at a time, though the uncertainty and pain.  
 
Back when I started this blog in 2013, it was to help me keep an account of where I was in my life. Writing helps me organize my thoughts and keeps me accountabile. I was encourage to start this back up again, after mentioning how I use to write this blog.

I do not know where this will lead, but I hope that my struggles and journey may help someone else going through similar trials as I am.

Colossians 3:16-17 KJV
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. [17] And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

2025

 It’s the first day of 2025, where intentions of bettering ones self and setting resolutions are in high spirit. Why not include starting off the year with the most import decision you will ever make, that will last the rest of your life! I encourage you in your endeavors of reaching a financial mark, loosing weight, and gaining knowledge (or any other goal you’ve set) as all are good things to aim for; even I have a few. Please remember, though they make life more pleasurable, all are only temporary, as death is inevitable for everyone. However, the one thing that will last forever is your soul. Have you thought about what will happen to it after your time on earth has ended? If not, this is the time to know for sure. “ Wherefore, as by one man sin entered the world”   (Romans 5:12)  That one man was the first person created in the world. This happened when Adam ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  (Genesis 2:17)  Why does this matter? Romans continu...

Better

While reading Hebrews I noticed a pattern: Better position/creation Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Better Hope Hebrews 7:19 KJV For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did ; by the which we draw nigh unto God. Better Testement Hebrews 7:22 KJV By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. More excellent ministry/ better covenant Hebrews 8:6 KJV But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. Better sacrifice Hebrews 9:23 KJV It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us . Romans 5:8 Which is the better sacrifice given. Better enduring sub...

Freely Given

1 Corinthians 2:12 KJV Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. What are the things that are freely given to us?  JUSTIFICATION Romans 3:24-26 KJV Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; [26] To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Romans 5:1 KJV Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: RIGHTEOUSNESS Romans 5:18-19 KJV Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. [19] For as by one man's disobedie...
