A Heart Surrendered to Christ

A Heart Surrendered to Christ

A Heart Surrendered to Christ ~ Renee shares her story of the moment she finally surrendered her heart to Christ. Share your story and what made you finally accept His invitation to a personal relationship. (p31obs)

I had to grow up to fast as a kid.. Being a kid wasn’t the best for me! I was abused in so many ways that as I got older I just didn’t care about life I had no purpose in my life. When I became a mom I battled with depression and blamed myself as a parent for not being able to give my children a good father to love them. The night before I got Saved and went to church I partied so much that night that I couldn’t even enjoy it! I was in the restroom and I looked at myself in the mirror and said I’ve had enough this isn’t me this isn’t who I am. And I went to church that morning and never turned back, it’s been 3yrs now and all I do is live for Jesus! Best decision I’ve ever made in my life. And now my girls have an awesome godly father and I can turn to Jesus for things I don’t understand instead of the other things I use to!!! I have a purpose now and that’s to live for Jesus my children love God and love church and love to pray! Something I never had as a kid!! I Surrendered my life to Christ!!! #Priceless

#Priceless God Moments

#Priceless God Moments

So again I have a God Moment at my Local HEB! First things first I wasn’t planning on going to HEB til after I picked up the Kiddos from school but then I said Ill just go now. Well God had a plan for me to bless someone again. So as I was putting my groceries away in my trunk I notice a lady on my left doing the same. As I put one of the bags in I noticed some Movie Gifts I had from Church. And God pointed me to The Grace Card movie to give to the lady.. (Amazing Movie) I questioned God and said are you sure I can’t that’s weird I don’t even know the lady. But again He pressed my heart to bless her with that movie.. I said ok ok ill do it. So we finished packing up at the same time and I kindly spoke to her and said Excuse me Mam, I hope this isn’t strange but I have a movie here that I’d like to give you. I’m not selling it, its actually a gift we bless our church guest with. And she asked what church do you go to and I told her the name of my church then she told me the church she attends. And then I tell her God really just put it on my heart to bless you with this movie. The movie talks about passing The Grace Card with others so here I am sharing God with you. And she shook my hand and said Thank you so much this is such a blessing. And we went our ways. I was again in Awe of God’s amazing presence He is so awesome and Good! Thank you Jesus! #Priceless #ACH #PerfectLove

Longing 4 #PerfectLove!

Longing 4 #PerfectLove!

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. (Psalms 139:13 NLT)
This verse just hit my heart. Growing up as a kid I longed for a relationship with my mother always telling myself I was a mistake and I was never going to be a good enough daughter to keep my mother around long enough to love me. I hated myself all I wanted was my mom to want me, love me, hold me, need me. But I got nothing but the opposite. But that’s ok cause now I know I have a God who created me for His purpose, His #PerfectLove. He created me to be wrapped in His arms, wanting a relationship with me so I can get to know Him and the Life he has for me. I thank God for revealing this verse to me today. For giving me such a #PerfectLove that growing up as a kid he knew this is what I wanted so bad. I didn’t know where to turn to find Jesus I never knew how close he truly was to me as a kid. But now I know and feel His presences and can’t help but get filled with Joy because He is so good to me. Now I can share this #PerfectLove with my children so they can turn to Jesus for comfort, and build a strong relationship with Him and share His #PerfectLove with others! ❤️❤️❤️And yes now as an adult God has restored my relationship with my mother, and we can love each other cause God loves us! Thank you Jesus!

Turn to Him!

Turn to Him!

If you’ve ever doubted God’s personal pursuit of you, let this truth sink in, my friend: wherever you are, He wants to meet you there. He is waiting for you to stop, come up close, and turn your heart to listen to a His. You don’t have to pretend things are fine when they aren’t. He knows what is going on in your thoughts. Nothing could keep Him from wanting to be with you. #PerfectLove #AConfidentHeart (reading this in ch.2 was much needed for me. I had been struggling with loneliness just feeling distanced from everyone and was battling negative thoughts. But when I read this I felt Gods hand upon my heart. Telling me this words that there is nothing that could keep Him from wanting to be with me. Oh thank Jesus for never leaving my side. Even when I can’t stand looking at myself you are there.)

There is still HOPE

There is still HOPE

This morning as I did some morning shopping at my local HEB, I felt God direct me to the shortest lane to checkout. I was like oh yea thank you Jesus. But he had a reason for me going to that lane. As I’m waiting I notice a lady in the lane next to me talking on the phone about a rough evening and all that still needs to be done today. God reminded me of myself being in her shoes as a mother and still today as a busy person. Well as I moved up the line she follows behind me to my lane and puts her items down. I slightly turn and notice it’s a box of Gain Laundry Detergent. God spoke to me and said I need to pay for her item. So as my items are being checked out I turn to the lady and said I’m going to bless you and pay for your item, she looked at me and said oh I can give you the cash, I kindly said no mam, I’m going to bless you this morning no worries. She was staring at me like why would I do that. The cashier was looking at me with a strange look as well. But at that moment I knew and I felt Gods presence was Gained between those two ladies and they can move forward with the thought of knowing there is still HOPE in life to have a blessed day and to know that Gods people are out there to share his #PerfectLove I don’t know what kind of life that lady has but I did hear her weary heart and if me blessing her for but a moment will help to remove that thought of struggles then I will move when God says move. Before I did this I was nervous thinking I was going to scare the lady away or that I might push a button that was the last one needing to be pushed because of a stressful evening. But I paused and asked God to help this go right and let her receive this blessing with an open heart. And God moved, I was just in Awe of Gods presence and how that one moment will be forever in that ladies heart. One act of obedience can change someone’s life. Every Life has a story! Thank you Jesus for allowing me to be apart of this life story! #Godisgood

Overcoming My Self-Doubt!!!!

Overcoming My Self-Doubt!!!!

Wow Ch. 1 of A Confident Heart was awesome. Conformation of what I’ve been needing to hear from God that I can overcome my self doubt. 1 John 5:14 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
This past weekend I was volunteering at The Women of Faith event and I was super nervous about it. I was so afraid I was going to mess up forget something not learn fast enough get lost not help others not relate to the other ladies, be boring, I felt stupid worthless I didn’t belong there. I just wanted to break down And cry. I kept texting my husband to pray for me and he’s encouraging words just was not helping. I was being drowned by all my self doubt. I was super nervous to work the sales booth because I don’t like working with money. People I can work with money I was so scared I was going mess up, not give the right change back, charge them to much or to less, lose money or mess up the order. I was feeling like I wanted to throw up because my mind was spinning fast. Finally I turned around took a huge breathe in and let it all out and said Lord Please help me take my fear away and help me to serve here in the area you want me in. And as soon as I turned back to the group of ladies I was working with our leader says, I need someone to help with sign up area. I never answered a question so fast in my life. I felt like jumping up and down and running around the arena screaming Thank you Jesus. God knows when to step in at the right time to remove us from our self doubt and build us up to have a confident heart. And all we have to do is ask Him and he Hears us. To let you I did end up working Sales the next day, and I took it head on Full confidence and did pretty good. It was way easier then I thought. I was like man I beat myself up for nothing, “I GOT THIS” . I praise God for this weekend and the learning process of everything I was around this past weekend. Speakers were amazing worship was on point, and my God never left my side. Thank You Jesus! #PerfectLove
