The End of The Chapter

Hey guys!! Welcome to another end to another chapter. :)

This is my last post for this blog! ''Wait what...." you ask? Well....nearly 90 Posts and being able to write to you guys about a few things I faced was AMAZING to say the least! It's not even good-bye right now, nor is this a break-up of some sort....this is just a shedding of another layer of skin....and a new journey is starting.

THANK YOU to everyone who visited my blog, who commented, who told me what they liked and didn't like, who made me laugh, who God brought into my life so I could help others by writing, and those who were always praying for me. I couldn't thank you enough and I truly pray for ALL of YOU. :) And of course...MOST important, I just thank the Lord for being my best friend, my true love and for now taking me into yet another journey... :)

As God continues to change me and transform me from the inside out, this was the decision that He gave me. NO WORRIES....This journey of writing will still continue and I will use all the gifts the Lord has blessed me with....EXCEPT, I will be doing something even better: I will be writing for Christ and I will be writing about issues for Christian Young Adults. :)

With this I end this post with this verse:

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." -Galatians 2:20

This verse is the beginning of my journey each and every day. Friends, please pray for me as a new journey begins so God can guide me as I write new posts to expand His kingdom and as I grow daily in Christ. I will be praying for all of you as well! :)

SO....a new journey huh....I'm so ready! :) I hope you are too.

God Bless!

"When I Say I'm a Christian" by Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."

I'm whispering "I was lost,

Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say.. "I am a Christian"

I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble

and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say.. "I am a Christian"

I'm not trying to be strong.

I'm professing that I'm weak

And need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. "I am a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed

And need God to clean my mess.

When I say.. "I am a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are far too visible

But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain.

I have my share of heartaches

So I call upon His name.

When I say..! . "I am a Christian"

I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner

Who received God's good grace, somehow!

-Maya Angelou

"When I say I'm a Christian" - My Diary

The poem above is so beautiful. For so long I had this image of what a Christian should be like or how they should behave, so I simply tried to avoid it. God finally spoke to me telling me that it is not by works that you are saved but by grace (Ephesians 2:8). "What does that mean?" I asked. He didn't speak, He showed me instead.

The image I had stuck in my head made me into a person that I shouldn't have taken energy to be. I was very stuck on proving that I was ''finally'' this Christian that was supposed to happen at one time or another. I saw that when I made a mistake I had to hide it.

I think the hardest part was after my mistake I would hear someone say: "why did you do that? I thought you were a Christian?", or the infamous use of reverse psychology: "You should do this for me, Christians behave like that".
