Let me tell you a story...

Whenever I think of the theme ON FIRE I always think of that lesson Uncle Tolman taught in Children's Worship. He spoke of "hot" verses that would make the Bible come to life. Of course, we didn't believe him when he said the Bible would literally "come to life" so he proceeded to opening the Bible and reading John 3:16, "For God so loved the world..." suddenly, the Bible was on fire and continued to rage until he closed the book. The word was unharmed, but in that moment I knew how powerful God's word was.

Fast forward to now; the beginning of school. Being sick with an unknown sickness and feeling overloaded with work, you could say I was exhausted. While doing devotions I read Isaiah 43:2:

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,

Nor will the flame burn you."

Definitely a reminder of who's in control and how God is always with me. It brought me back to the mentality I had while on missions this past summer, how I let go of all my anxieties and put God in control. I knew that He was speaking to me and telling me not to worry, but to trust in Him.

SOO...Whether you're dying of the heat, struggling to finish (or begin) college apps, or doing something as simple as eating breakfast; know that God is there with you and He is only a conversation away.

Ok here's some facts about me if you've made it this far:
1. I'm left-handed
2. I rapped a Nikki Minaj for class once
3. I've burned rice krispy treats before
4. I trip on air
5. I still fit my 5th grade graduation shirt like Charmaine

K Bye :)
