Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
I stand here and testify that this is a promise He will fulfill.
You just have to understand causal links in sentence structure. I use them often; they show cause and effect by placing one after the other.
Their order is not random in my writing….or His.
When you turn your eyes and your whole heart to Him, He rewards you with those dreams buried deep within your heart.
I never imagined they’d actually come true.
But here He is, faithful and just, doing just what He said he would.
…The LORD is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. Psalm 145:13
From restorative time with my parents to a full-time writing career, my days are filled with the community, family-friendly fun, and travel I’d always dreamed about. Even the littlest desires like getting paid to write movie reviews have been honored.
All it took was the simple, but shockingly hard, decision to lay down every fleshly desire and demonic stronghold in my life and completely focus on Christ.
I’d do it again a million times over.
And way faster than this. I wasted a lot of life.
But here I am now, writing about faith and pop culture, two things that seemingly contradict each other.
But He makes it all pure.
The articles I’ve published in the last four weeks hit topics of love, acceptance, and growth. They focus on inclusivity, diversity, and community. I’m now requested for education and cheerleading stories, my love for both shining through.
It is my desire to build up, not blow up.
Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people. Isaiah 57:14
I have truly been given the desires of my heart.
The funny thing is, it’s now merely sprinkles.
My faith foundation is the cake. My time with Him is my favorite part, those mounds of sweet icing. The rest of it is simply non-pareils to share with others in the perilous times we face.
My platform is using my voice for change, not criticism.
My mama taught me well: If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all.
