The Comeback.

Two Thousand and Nineteen was a roller coaster. Actually, whatever has more twists, turns, ups and downs than a roller coaster 2019 was that.

There was joy and happiness but there was also pain and hurt, pain that I experienced and unfortunately pain that I caused. It’s easy wanting and hoping not to be the bad guy but sometimes without intention our actions bring hurt to the ones we love.

I found myself chasing after what I desired which often times was not what God wanted or my heart needed. I knew in my heart that I was longing for something but was looking in all the wrong places and in turn I was lost and miserable. Don’t be swayed by the “temporary happiness” the world offers; true happiness and joy comes from Christ; it is NOT found in the lies you tell yourself or the distractions of this world.

Don’t get me wrong, in 2019 I pursued God, but it wasn’t wholehearted, and I know now that out of everyone I lied to God first and foremost. I wasn’t entirely devoted to Him as I should have been and because of the state of my heart I removed myself from relationships and from my ministry, sharing Faith Filled Captions. I mean how could I be a positive testimony to others when my heart wasn’t in the right place? I knew that the only way I could begin to share again was if my desires were stripped from me and my focus was restored on what truly mattered, the pursuit of Christ.

That brings us to today, January 1st, 2020. I’m still the same guy from 2019 just with a different outlook, a renewed purpose and restored faith. I still struggle, I’ll still fall and I’m still going to get hurt but I’m not going to be alone. I know that in my heart if my eyes and desires stay focused on Him then through Him, I can overcome and accomplish anything. True joy, strength and purpose comes only from God and when we are honest with others, love others and commit our lives to Him rather than chase after our own desires we will begin to see His power working in our lives.

Philippians 4:13 says “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

This New Year I’m recommitting myself to the purpose that God laid out for me and that is to share His love and truth through #FaithFilledCaptions, it is my ministry and something I cannot give up on. In addition to sharing the Gospel on Instagram I FINALLY have updated my website and converted it into a Blog with resources such as Searchable Topics, the Plan of Salvation and my Personal Testimony of Faith. My prayer is that through this website and ministry God can use me as a vessel of hope and a light to a lost world. On my own I am nothing but through Christ, all things are possible!
