Carry Me through... Into your Greater Purpose



There is a mountain//Here before me //And I'm going to climb it // With strength not my own // He's gonna lead me // or the mountain beats me // Carry me through // Carry me through ðŸŽ¶ 

Tonight's sermon @somoschurch has been one of The MOST SPECIAL nights! I was so excited to have a whole row reserved for friends to come listen to a wonderful and special message we were having tonight. And As I sit here trying to "digest" tonight's message, I have had that song stuck in my head. 

There are mountains, here before us, and we are going to climb them with strength not our own. There are rivers, here before us, and we are going to cross them, with strength NOT our own. ... Because He carry us through, Oh Lord you carry US through.

Listening to @samcollier 's story tonight, opened my eyes to a whole new level of thinking. On how God uses all of our very different and unique stories and "connects" them all together. 
God's presence was there and I felt it.

The bright and sharp perspective that Sam brought to Somos tonight was amazing. To hear a testimony with challenges and pain BUT from a place of VICTORY. 

His story made me ponder on my own testimony, and it challenged me from this point forward that when I'm sharing my story, I need to make sure to elevate God's purpose/plan THROUGH IT! 

What kind of message are we giving to our community??! 

A message of "Resentment", of "Judgement", a message of "Pain"? 
Or
Are we giving a message of HOPE, FORGIVENESS, of LOVE to our community?! 

God taught me this through Sam tonight. It's not WHY?.. it is not, Why Me Lord?! 
It is about the Plan, it is about God's willingness to sacrifice that we go through the pain, the heartbreak, and endurance for His Greater purpose. 
He is willing to either spare us or sacrifice us, if the ultimate outcome means saving THOUSANDS. 
And that my friend is worth, every tear, and every heartbreak. 
#ItIsWellWithMySoul God.. It is well. 

🎶Oh, Lord remember // I try so hard // I walk and talk // your Kingdom Love//🎶 

Thank you Sam for your investment in us and even though we don't know each other, you embraced me tonight as a true Brother in Christ!! God bless you! ðŸ’•
