About Me

My photo
Every day I pray and battle with my mission to start pleasing God and stop satisfying myself and appeasing others. Defeats in this battle have cost me a lot, where prayers, praise and God’s Word have brought some miraculous victories. It is not because my daddy is a preacher or because I was always in church, that I see God not as a casualty but a necessity. However, at 23 my experiences and understanding that IT MAY NOT BE EASY TO DO THE RIGHT THING BUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF DOING THE WRONG THINGS ARE TOO HARD TO DEAL WITH, have brought the Sunday school lessons, the sermons, and the prayers into perspective. Being perfect is unpractical but being young and saved is not! I've done a whole lot of something for nothing. But after meeting Jesus Christ I decided I would give anything to have Him as my Everything!

The Game Plan

Bible Verse of the Day
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in the heart and mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand. ESV


Our game plan is to gain prosperity with the least amount of work. (Get Money, Spend Money and Enjoy Money).  We want to sail smoothly through life, get an education, a job, car, house, spouse, family, go on dream vacations, and experience no trials and obstacles.  Some people’s plans don’t even include any education and a job.THIS IS SO UNREALISTIC!!!



Well, God has a game plan too and it is very realistic and guarantees a win! However, it involves a lot of conditioning, practicing, many obstacles, much perseverance, some pain, some tears and many lessons being taught and learned. He knows that it is not until we realize God is all we have, that we discover He is what we need to obtain ultimate victory!

 James 1:2-4 states Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything

 God doesn’t want to hurt us but He wants provide us with counsel and correction, so when we get the job, the car, the house, the spouse, the family and more we are equipped to handle it and will appreciate it. God’s plan is that we understand the strategy of the game of life is to pray, seek counsel, have faith and work to do His will. This strategy guarantees us obtaining the things He has for us (which are abundantly above all we could ever ask or think, by the way! : ).

 I pray you allow God to lead and guide you to an expected end - Ashlee
