Well, again it has been a while since I have wrote. I love writing, which is kind of funny I say that because I hated writing papers in high school. I have been through a lot in the past 2 years of being in Tennessee. I have seen all types of things. Well lets get on with it. I am an Overcomer. My girl Mandisa sings this song. I have been through so much and I couldn't handle it anymore. I ended up having to take a leave of absence from work. I needed to gather my thoughts and finally I realized I wasn't handling things well because I needed more God. I didn't know where to start. So I decided to just try a local church. I walked in and sat in the second row. I immediately started crying. I knew I needed this. I spent my entire life going to church and I really loved it growing up. But it was testing me from the age 18-24. Then after that I got back into the church hardcore. It is very hard to find a church like the one we went to in Jacksonville. We have spent our time in a Godless world since we have been here in Tennessee. Anyway the pastor came up to me after church and asked if he knew me. I did advise him hat he didn't. Then he asked if he could pray for me because it looked like I needed it. I started crying immediately again. I felt a bit of relief when I got out of church. I got in the car and blared the music so loud and starting singing Jamie Grace's Beautiful Day. But then it got me thinking of the song by Mandisa, Overcomer. I went the next week. Now i haven't been back since the first 2 weeks. I work on Sundays so it is tough. And I am not going to lie it is always going to be a challenge when you aren't surrounded by your christian friends. I had decided to take a challenge with Joyce Meyer and that is to study the Bible for 30 days. It was going great for the first 2 weeks. Now though I have forgotten a couple of days. So I make up for it the next day. I need to to get back to doing it everyday but you know the non Godly world tells you its OK. But its not.
My friend Natalie and I are doing a Bible study. We are doing the Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild. We have been getting to know each other on more of a Spiritual level. This past weeks lesson was about how media and other things we do and take in corrupt our time with God. Well it is going to be a challenge. I love the Lord and want him to be my whole life and whole heart.
Just take a look at the video and the lyrics.
MANDISAOvercomer LyricsStaring at a stop signWatching people drive byT. Mac on the radio Got so much on your mind Nothing's really going right Looking for a ray of hopeWhatever it is you may be going through I know He's not gonna let it get the best of youYou're an overcomer Stay in the fight until the final round You're not going under‘Cause God is holding you right now You might be down for a moment Feeling like it's hopeless That's when He reminds You That you're an overcomer You're an overcomerEverybody's been down Hit the bottom, hit the ground Oh, you're not alone Just take a breath, don't forget Hang on to His promises He wants You to knowYou're an overcomer Stay in the fight until the final round You're not going under‘Cause God is holding you right now You might be down for a moment Feeling like it's hopeless That's when He reminds You That you're an overcomer You're an overcomerThe same Man, the Great I am The one who overcame death Is living inside of You So just hold tight, fix your eyes On the one who holds your life There's nothing he can't do He's telling youYou're an overcomer Stay in the fight until the final round You're not going under‘Cause God is holding you right now You might be down for a moment Feeling like it's hopeless That's when He reminds You That you're an overcomer You're an overcomerSo don't quit, don't give in You're an overcomer.
