Follow Your Passions! Let God show you who you are!

I haven't wrote a blog in a while but I have a passion for helping and encouraging people to follow their dreams and goals and to utilize their talents. I believe that one of the hardest things for us as humans to do is to follow after our passions, dreams and goals. Sometimes we think we are not good enough or somethings we feel like we do not have the resources to do what we want, maybe even we feel like we cannot make any money doing it so we will just do it as a hobby. I want to encourage someone today, to seek God and allow him to work on you and reveal your purpose. God gave us passions, dreams and gifts to be used for His glory. Think of how much better our life would be if we chose to live it on PURPOSE, if we were fulfilling what God called us to do. Your gifts will be used to help others, encourage them, inspire them, maybe even bring them closer to God. God can use you through your gift to draw someone closer to Him.

Please do not be afraid, don't think that you cannot do it. For example let's take someone who has been wanting to sing since they were little and maybe they are 30 now but they feel as if they cannot sing. Let me tell you that we all have similar gifts but NONE will be used the same. You may not sound like Beyonce, Mariah Carey, etc but you sound how God wants you to, just the sound of your voice to certain lyrics may move someone, we have to have faith.

This blog is inspired by the show X FACTOR, NOW usually I rarely watch regular television but I honestly LOVE this show. I LOVE to see people carrying out their dreams. There is one person in particular that God really worked through,  The week before last there was a contestant by the name of Melanie Amaro, she sung a song and she dedicated her song to God because she said everyone in her life had failed her except God. Now I am sure everyone else probably Thanks God too but she was the ONLY one to dedicate her song to him and by the end of the song she had caught the holy ghost and God moved through her she began to speak with her native accent.

Now some may say what is so special about that? I will definitely tell you what I felt was special, Ms. Amaro had been holding back her accent because people use to tease her because they could not understand her so for years she held it back but God moved so mightily through her that she had released everything and was about to speak with her accent comfortably again. Not only was she comfortable but she felt better and this week she said that she sang better and the audience and the judges agreed. While watching her, I could see a change in her, she was smiling and she was comfortable and confident and God spoke to me and said WHEN YOU LET ME WORK ON YOU, HEAL YOU AND DELIVER YOU, YOU CAN RELEASE ALL THAT HURT AND PAIN AND BE USED EFFECTIVELY! How many times do we hold back? Its time to release, it is time to LET GO!

God could work so mightily in us if we just let go. God gave you those gifts for a reason, seek Him, don't let them go unused. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT GOD CAN AND WILL USE ANYONE WHO IS WILLING!

Here is the video of Melanie Amaro

  2. Amen!!!!! We must let our light shine, Sometimes God will give us an assignment and we may think why would He want me to this, I'm not qualified for that BUT it is because He knows the uniqueness of the Gifts that He has given you. He knows that you can reach who He knows you to reach with the way He designed your gift. God Bless!
