being forgiven

Being Convicted and being FORGIVEN

Over the past couple of weeks I have been feeling a funk, a funk in my day to day life, a funk with Masana, and a funk in my relationship with GOD....
I have spent hours and hours of praying, praying for peace, praying for a solution to this so called "FUNK". and during this, i could almost hear GOD audbly saying "how on earth are you supposed to defend your faith if you haven't even studied it for yourself?"
CONVICTION MUCH???


So with that said, I am 22 years old, I can honestly admit i have never truly had a DESIRE to study the BIBLE... it was NEVER ALIVE for me....I mean, I have read here and there and i have studied the sunday school stories but i have never dug deep into the Word like i have been created to....AND boy have i been missing out!!! 
So i have started tearing through the NEW TESTAMENT..i have been falling more and more in love with my CREATOR....more than i ever knew was possible.

Ok ok..i know this is probably mind blowing for some of you...WHAT??? Alexis doesn't know her Bible... ok you caught me and GOD DID TOO.... He is giving me a passion deep in my bones to tear it apart and comprehend it little by little. Its crazy how i am becoming more and more confident in my faith, now that I am hiding his word in my heart. It is really sharper than any double edged sword.

Ok so with conviction and a confession comes FORGIVENESS....SO i have a challenge for those reading this. It is so easy to get caught up in the crazy everyday life of getting things done, going to bed, waking up and doing it again. But for real stop right now and think about why we even breathe. We are put on this earth for .5 seconds in the scheme of things TO BRING HONOR TO THE LORD AND MAKE HIM KNOWN.

Dont get caught up in just living your life with no purpose...

God has called us to love one another... so lets do itttt
