James 2:17Amplified Bible (AMP)17 So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).
Whenever I've attempted to start a blog in the past I would have all these ideas of the type of content that I wanted to create. I wanted to do the whole beauty blogger thing. I love talking about my natural hair and new and interesting products on the market. T But the thing is, I could never commit to writing about those things, inevitably I'd begin to write devotional style post, even in my diary 99% of the time I'd write things out of what God was pouring into me.
Recently I was talking about the blog with my mom and the direction it was going in, I explained that every blog or journal that I would create always turns into "this". My mom replied : "Well Lesli, this is your calling". She confirmed what I had been thinking and this was mind blowing and freeing because I've been given a glimpse into my purpose and even just a glimpse fuels me to keep going. If I only help one person with this project it would mean the world to me. I believe there is more that I must do but right now my action step is trusting that God wouldn't lead me to this season without equipping and He wants to to see it come to fruition as much as I do.
Faith without works in dead! I must do my part accompanied with faith , trust that God will keep up his part of the bargain and move forward. When doubt creeps it's way into my thoughts and plants his little ugly little lies into my head I must remember that God put this calling within me and He wants to see me succeed in it. It's comforting to know that HE is with me. So I'll keep pressing forward until His will is made good in me. I will give God all the glory because without him nothing is possible but WITH him the possibilities are endless!
