THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

The picture above really communicates the purpose behind my post. I often feel what this picture communicates. I am the elephant climbing that incline. Have you felt this way? As I embark on a new journey I hope you will join me in it. As I find my voice and the courage to share it with you, I hope you find yours too. I want to hear your voice. I want to create conversations with common strugglers. I want to create something safe and real. Hence the new name of my Blog Feed: The Struggle is Real. If you find it beneficial to you please help me increase readership by following and sharing with other strugglers. 

Here is a list of my real struggles and the topics that I will be writing about.

Faith

Faith

Faith is stepping out on nothing and finding something. The exciting thing is that the faith you are exercising requires God's involvement. When Peter stepped out from the security and confinement of the boat he experienced a taste of his divine potential. Often times we look at his failure and forget that he actually walked on water. Understanding the relationship between the Rabbi and Disciple will help you connect with Peter’s response to Jesus. When Peter's Rabbi, Jesus, called Peter to follow him Jesus was saying to him, I see the potential in you to become just like me and to do the things that I do. This is why when Peter saw Jesus walking out to them on the water Peter asked, bid I come to you? Jesus said come and Peter simply responded to Jesus' belief in him to do the things He was doing at that moment. Your Rabbi, Jesus, is saying to you, I believe in you. You have the potential to become just like me. You can do the things I do. Be encouraged and have a great day!
