When He Will Show the "Belt"

God has spared us each time we fell short of perfection. Every time we have sinned against Him. Every time we disobeyed. He never failed to forgive us.. Over AND over again...

We have taken advantage of His mercy.

We have relied on the mercy He would show at the end of this "season" of sin. We expected Him. We had it all planned out too... Go to the altar and pray that God would forgive us of our sinful nature.. But then, we sinned again, the same sin... Again, we prayed but this time we knew He would forgive us, so we didn't pray as "hard" or as "sincere".... We went out and sinned again... The same sin! And every time we went back to sin, we took advantage of His mercy when we came back to the altar. There's the pattern. We sin, we ask for forgiveness but then we sin again. Every time we come back to pray and ask God to forgive us, it's like the Blood/forgiveness/mercy looses it's affect on us. :/ Just like when our bodies get used to (an example) caffeine, the caffeine doesn't get us all hyper-it has no affect.

But didn't we think that God gets tired of us using Him?

One day, He is going to get mad at us.. Like our parents did when we were little. We kept jumping on the couch when we shouldn't have :/ boy... I learned to not jump on the couch! Lol... So why can't it be that way with God? Learn from the mistake and stop doing it. Because one day His mercy won't be shown to us.... and well, God does have a belt doesn't He? Lol

Get what I'm sayin'?

I agree!! Important lesson that's for sure.. Romans 6:1 says shall we continue in sin that grace may about? God forbid!!

The Struggle is Real

I am not usually the person who spreads their woes on Facebook, Instagram, or blog. Tonight may be the exception but I will refrain from letting emotions get the best of me. We are all facing trials. Whether you are 16 years old and tempted to cut your hair, 18 years old and thinking about leaving the church since you are technically an 'adult', 21 years old and being pressured to drink, or 24 years old and struggling with hurt and depression. The struggle is REAL! The truth is, we are all at different points in our walk with God and, believe it or not, the trials are ALL God-ordained. They have been put in our life specifically for us and to make us more like Christ. The struggles you are facing are a test of your faith and love for God, but they are also there so you can learn from your mistakes and help others when they go through the same trial. Honey, if you are dealing with hurt, I could quote scripture after scripture giving you encouragement and to cast your car...

Little Miss is Back :)

Well, well, well. :) Look who just posted. Meagan Rowell is coming back to the blog-o-sphere! After I stopped blogging, I was thinking of what I had posted. (in 2010) *thoughts* Did it really help anybody with their walk with God? Did it honestly help?! Several people emailed me and well, I'm starting it back up, aren't I. :) Look forward to more posts... and ladies, new hair tutorials ;) I've got a few treats up my sleeve for this new "chapter"  in "They Say... "She is Unashamed." Love, Meggs 

Bible Quizzer

Umm.... I had no idea what I was getting myself into lol! This is my first year of Bible Quizzing and man! I love it!!!!! :D I can't wait to go to the competitions!! :D We have to learn over 400 verses but as Bro. Vick & Brendan said "Don't look at the numbers." It's easier when you don't look at numbers and you just memorize and go over them everyday!!! I'm so excited!!! It has motivated me to get done with schoolwork lol. I hope we have a good (NOOO, a GREAT!) team so we can go to more competitions. :) Fun & traveling! Which teams do you know that are awesome Bible Quizzers?? Do you have any tips for a first time BQ??? :)
