My Life a Christian Girl

If what you are being called to makes you uncomfortable that’s probably Jesus is calling you…

If what you are being called to, inconveniences you that is probably Jesus calling you…

If what you are being called to seems impossible and you have to pray about, it’s probably Jesus calling you…

If what you being called to gets in the way of YOUR plans, then that is probably Jesus calling you…

On the flip side…

If what you are being called to is comfortable and convenient than that is probably NOT Jesus calling you…

If what you are being called to seems really easy and you are not pushed to your knees and you don’t have to pray about it then, Jesus is probably NOT calling you to that…

You Shall Have No Other gods.

What does this mean?

We should fear, love and trust in God above all things.

SOO HOMIES…..

         Today marks the last week that I will officially be a full blown college student! This is extremely exciting and also really  sad… :(. For the past four years I have done pretty much the same exact thing class, homework (kinda), work, College Life, and Church. 

Now, that I am graduating I really don’t know what I will be doing with my time until I start my internship on August 1st! 

What I am going to miss doing the most!!

1)I am going to miss hanging out with all my friends all day and avoiding doing my homework at all cost.  

2) Making late night trips to Peacocks and eating way more than I should

3) Making random stops at friends houses uninvited 

4) Neighbor dinners!!!!( Im going to miss this on the most!)

5) Being able to talk to my Xbox!! 

Even though I’m graduating I know that its a new beginning and I am excited to see what happens!!  

This will be a short blog but one that had me tearing up on my walk to work today.

I donate to mission organization called Gospel for Asia which is an amazing organization that goes and preaches the gospel in the slums of India!! About 7 or 8 months ago I donated some money that helped buy mosquito nets  for house and beds. I donated the money and didn’t think twice about it! Then today in the mail I get this hand written card!

It  says:
 Chelcie, Thank you so much for your prayer and support for the work of the 7 Gospel for Asia ( nets) 
I had the privileged to pray for you today.
                                                                                       -Joy


It made me tear up that the nets that I had donate had done some good and that one of the girls or someone over there had bothered to write to me and thank me and PRAY for me!

……The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16 

So today has been a day of me being totally and completely worn out. From about 8am until right now I have been trying to figure out how I will be able to raise the funds that I will need in order to go and do what the Lord has called me to do. 

So today I received an e-mail from Campus Crusade for Christ saying that Friday April 20th I will officially have to start raising support for my internship with Campus Crusade for Christ. I have to raise a certain amount of money before August 1st so that I can keep my internship.

My heart sank. Then my mind started racing as to how am I going to raise that much money so quickly.

Than  I realized one thing. I am deathly afraid of trusting God . I have always had a back up plan just in case God didn’t follow through with MY plans.whenMY plan doesn’t work I just run to him like he is some type of Holy ATM. Instead going (more like running) to HIM and asking HIM to help me do it and TRUSTING that he will do it. I know that he hasn’t brought me this fair in life just to leave me where I am.

I know these next few months will be both trying and the most joyful in my whole life.

Fulling depending on God and knowing that HE can AND WILL get me through this.

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.   Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, butour sufficiency is from God,  who has made us sufficient to be ministers ofa new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, butthe Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:4-6 (ESV)
