This year has challenged me from getting injured while serving in the military to getting on the road of recovery. And starting university, this year really challenged me but it made me get closer to God. This year showed that endurance and hope are essential in this life, tough times don't last but tough people do! The beginning of the year was painful but the end of the year seemed to be way better than I expected and I'm grateful for it! 💯❤️
I absolutely love this fam, the experiences we have are sometimes testimonies. I think it's beautiful you allowed your pain and struggle to turn I to love for God. The Most High does that! It's all love! Thank you so much for sharing your story this far my brother. Just one more month to go! I'm grateful for you guys always ❤️🙏🏽
I’ve been challenged this year with my first year in college. I’m commuting from home but I still can’t escape the reality of how dark & basically wicked the whole college world is. From the drugs, alcoholism, & hookup culture it’s really grown to disgust me further than I ever thought it would. I can’t be friends with certain people because of it but I am finding my way & I’ve learned that I can’t look on them with judgement but rather pity because I know that they truly aren’t happy with themselves in the end & they’re searching for something somewhere but can’t seem to find it, I know I can’t judge or be jealous because I have the Holy Spirit in my heart. The Holy Spirit condemns what is not, not people (that’s God’s job), I need to use the gift I have to love & show God’s love towards them regardless
I truly respect you brother, that college struggle is one that is so normalized in our world and people just ignore and scoff at it. I appreciate you sharing this struggle and being open with it, people just think college is only the movies and that it is 'normal' when in reality it can totally change your life in crazy ways if not careful. You're doing we to surround yourself with like minded people, it goes a long way. Nothing is worth compromising your values, especially for just a good time. God bless you and I'm always praying for your discernment to stay strong and alert as it already is! Keep it up, and pray for them my friend.
2023 has actualy brought me back to God unfortunately through illness and hard times like we all do I started talking to him once more of course for help and mercy I even got myself a new bible to refresh myself on his word .Good to see you again stay safe friend
That's extremely beautiful to hear! I love that the struggle just turned into love and healing from The Most High! So glad to hear from you Victoria! Thank you so much for sharing! God bless you!
I have been personally challenged every day. I can't say my faith has been challenged, but me personally standing as a strong representative of my faith, that's the challenge for me. I mess up every single day, but the one thing I can count on, is that God is always there to help me get my messes straightened out. In my younger years, I can say that things challenged my faith. There's so much deception, that can cause questions. The key is to get in the word, to answer those questions. The answers are there and they will quash every challenge. I've learned over the years to separate my faith out of those questions. Example: how old is the earth? Valid question. In my youth, people challenged me with that question, and in my head it became "if the earth is older than I thought, what does that mean to my beliefs?" Those types of things challenged my faith. But today, those type of things challenge me to seek & knock on God's word, rather than seek things in the world to prove to myself He is real. I hope that made sense!
This made so much sense! I absolutely love how you actually have been through the necessary process in order to have a faith that's so resolved and steadfast for the Lord. It's one of the reasons why I respect and appreciate you so very much AG! Always an inspiration to me! People will always attempt to challenge, but as you said the word has it all. All the answers are there, so no human wisdom will ever overtake and overwhelm that. Thank you for Sharing AG :)
2023 has not challenged my faith. I don't allow the government nor the mental illness of others to affect me in any way. I am in control of myself and my destiny.
I absolutely love it James, as expected from you!, The government is always looking to break us down. But I'm glad we always remain steadfast in the Most High! So glad to hear from you my brother! Praying for you always
This year was a roller coaster for me, my dads recovery seemed to be stable, only a few minor set backs, and what seemed to be a battle of wits with my dads medicare coverage denials/appeals over and over and over about 6 times that I thought were going to break me but worked themselves out. The one thing that hit me hard, being that I left Maui a few years ago but still have loved ones on the Island is the Lahaina Maui fire and all that is still happening there. But with that I also am on the blessed side of that as all my loved ones, ex co-workers and everyone I personally know in real life were safe and didn't lose anything. I look forward to your live streams coming back soon even if only every once in a while. Hope you and your beautiful family are doing well 💕
