This world often pulls us continously toward seeking out things unnecessary to our needs in the moment. In other words, things or relationships that we demand now may not be the plans that God has for us at this exact time. I was drawn to write this blog today because I feel like a lot of us are searching for love in the wrong places. It's been only three days without my two beloved social apps ever (aka; Instagram and Snapchat) and I feel like I've learned so much already. Apart of me thinks it's kinda sad that I was so attached to these apps but now I realize that without them, I'm just more aware of my surroundings and more eager to try new things. With this, I believe that my focus has shifted less on what others are doing and more on what I have and could do with God. So how are we searching for love in the wrong places you ask? It's by putting not only the internet but our feelings before God first. A year ago I couldn't tell you how to live without listening to your feelings but today I'm saying, just because you have strong feelings for someone or something doesn't mean it's always right and it's more likely that that little whisper in the back of your mind, that gut feeling that you've been putting on the backburner is what's trying to make a statement. I'd like to think that whatever statement your gut is trying to make is God saying, "Listen, I've got this. Just trust me." I'm no perfect believer in Christ, I am no perfect woman of Christ but I know that God is perfect and he is willing to take all of your worries away if you're willing to surrender. It's honestly a day to day battle. But every new battle won with Jesus is a victory and every victory is accounted for because he died for our sins and he rose again. I can't tell you how to live or tell you how to love or tell you what's right and what's wrong but to me, loving without the means of seeking Jesus in any relationship or in any situation or just not praying that he takes it all away is a battle that's already lost. I've wanted to change the world but God reminds me everyday that he already did by defeating death and rising again.
I love you all so much and am praying that we are all strengthened by God daily.
All the best,
Mikaela.
