“A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.”
- William Shedd

What has God called us to do that we aren't doing, are we ignoring God? I know sometimes I do...but we weren't created to sit there and do nothing! God created us with a purpose and a plan, he has put a calling on every single person, but how many of are walking in what he has called for us to do?

Jeremiah 29:11 says
" For I know the plans I have for you" says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you future and hope."

God has done all the hard work, he has planned everything out for us...we just have to trust him and take action and do it!


This is just something that popped into my head as I was writing ^^^^ that up there so, I hope you enjoy it :)

Recently someone told me: "Kodie, stop being so fearful and just be bold!"
So I started facing my fears, your probably thinking that's easy right, WRONG! If you got serious and began to analyze your life, you would see that, there are things that don't seem like "fear" to you, but there are different types and forms of it. For example dreading something, being passive to avoid conflict, the simple thing most people deal with: caring what others think about you, and it can go on and on.

So how do we counteract fear? Easy answer: By FAITH!
Faith and fear have the same definition...
Faith-"believing in your heart that something you can't see with your eyes is going to come to pass"
Fear has the same definition as faith-"believing in your heart that something you can't see with your eyes is going to come to pass"

The difference is:
Faith is the "persuasion of the truth from God's word."
Fear is the "persuasion of a lie from Satan's word."

My first BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so my very first blog!!! This is kind of weird, but I like it!!! :)

So I just started Bible college a few weeks ago, and I'm absolutely loving it!!! God has been Illuminating (where faith comes alive in the heart) different things to me...one of which is faith!!!

So there is a difference between HOPE and FAITH:

"Faith says, "It's mine. I have it now." Hope says, "I'll get it sometime." But as long as you are in hope and not faith, whatever you are desiring will not materialize-it will never come into being. But the moment you start beiliving and acting like God's word is so, your faith will work for you."
-Kenneth E. Hagin

If you look at it tense wise it would go something like this:
Faith is in the present tense..."Now" faith.
Hope is in the future tense.

Hebrews 11:1 says
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen."

Mark 11:24 says
"...and ye shall have them." It says "...believe that ye RECIEVE them, and ye shall have them"

This opened my eyes and shed some light on things in my life: like when im praying for myself or others about healing or anything, now I'm watching the words I pray and I speak only in faith!

That's just what has been on my heart!

I love you Cassie Jean for showing me this bloggers world!
