Yesterday, my fiance' and I went to church and when I say the message was right on time I mean it. The topic was, "Do You Know Him (God) Like That?". The minister preached from Philippians 3:1-14 and although he focused on vs. 10, he broke down every verse which was AWESOME! He explained that materials things, degrees/education, money, family background, etc. mean NOTHING if you don't have God. After all, how do you think you got all of those 'things' and accomplished so much??? He also went onto say that in order to GAIN the great things God has in store for us, we must NOT be afraid to LOSE somethings/some people in our lives. It's all apart of God's plan so we are to trust HIM.
I really felt connected to the message and I left the church feeling like somethings that I've been wondering about were all made clear. I get it now, and I am not afraid to continue walking into my GREAT future. Somethings, habits, and people may be left behind but I truly believe what God says he will do will be done.
I didn't realize this post was going to be a testimony when I stared writing it but hey, that's how it goes sometimes. This message was on my heart and I felt compelled to share. I hope you all enjoyed and maybe it helped someone or made you at least think about how certain things in your life. Either way, be blessed and enjoy the pics below :-)

Preach Whitney!! Love this post! I loved that message that your pastor preached. It is very true. Sometimes as Christians we can lose faith and start to question God but he is the person who has brought us into great situations and taken us out of bad ones. Love Love your dress doll!

ReplyDeleteYes that is a great message!! I have heard this saying many times before and I say it as well when it comes to letting some things/people go as God moves you higher, "there are just some people (things too) that aren't meant to go where God is taking you" so let go of those things/people and keep it moving!!
