506 Days Saved - A walk with Christ
Worship Jesus Not Statues!
Do not have idols or set up an image or sacred stone for yourself. Leviticus 26:1
I actually have a few hours to myself today in the first time in forever! I decided to go get a pedicure. I've been in deep prayer today as I asked for God to come near again and I truly can feel his presence once again.
As the lady was rubbing my feet I prayed for her to myself and then God said ,"I'll make an opportunity for you." I was not sure what opportunity it would be, to be honest, as I don't feel like talking to anyone today. Very introverted lately.
As I went to pay I had forgotten about God making an opportunity but then I looked up and saw these tiny Buddha figurines. I knew God was nudging me. I know I don't have any purple crosses left in my purse but for some reason I had faith there was just one left for this moment. Right there in the front zipper of my purse, which I had looked and had none before, was in fact one purple cross left. I simply laid it in front of the Buddha statues and walked away not saying a word but praying the lord does something great with that cross!
The Challenge:
Never ever be afraid to share. The simplest of nudges can make the greatest change of all!

505 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ
Unexpected Mission
I sought the Lord and he heard me, and he delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4
I'm a bit reluctant to share this story because it's both embarrassing and traumatizing but I shall be fearless in sharing. I never know why God says to share but maybe this story will bring clarity to one special person on just how miraculous our Lord truly is.
I was driving downtown Monday night and I accidentally took a wrong turn. I thought I was somewhere else downtown and drove as if I knew right where I was. As I went down this very dark road I suddenly hit something. The car jerked, I felt stuck and then got over another bump before I realized I could not move. I had accidentally gone into a rail road yard and my tires became stuck between the metal frames.
When I opened my door I could not believe what I was seeing. It was dark, I was in the middle of the railroad and to my horror a bright light of a train was coming closer. I tried with all my might to push my car out but it would not move.
I had no phone and there was no one around but for some reason I did not panic. I started to yell for help. The train began to slow down and two engineers got off. They told me, "You would be surprised how often this happens." They pushed me out and my car was unharmed.
I absolutely gave the man, who pushed me out, a Purple Cross! I knew Jesus was there. I knew Jesus sent those men at the perfect time to save my butt 😊!
It was hands down the scariest moment of my life but as days have passed I know more and more it was one of my greatest encounters showing how our Lord protects his children!
The Challenge:
God's timing was perfect and is perfect. Relax, take a deep breath and know no matter what, you are in good hands as a follow of Jesus Christ. It is in his name we are continuously and forever Saved!

504 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ
*Be Brave*
Be strong, be brave, be fearless you are.never alone. Joshua 1:9
Sometimes we must rise up and have no fear in accomplishing a task that can save lives.
Today I drove around to churches to share about our Royal Violets Conferences we have created. As I drove down a very busy street I saw cars swerving around this tire that was right in the middle of the road. I swerved around it too but then the Lord made it clear to me that I needed to remove the tire. I quickly pulled to the side,ran into the middle of a busy intersection, grabbed the tire and put it to the side of the road.
As I was running to my car a man yelled out the window, "That was kind of you." Made me feel good to do unexpected good works, that immediately changed the day of another!
The Challenge:
Are you the one to pass up a challenge which could harm another? Or are you ready to be brave and be apart of real change? Real change is what you were designed to take on!

503 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ
*Invisible Pain*
In this world you will have trouble but take heart for I have overcome the world. John 16:33
I do think that there are many Christians who aren't honest about the fact that a walk with Christ can be hard too. Just because one is Christian does not mean they are completely unaffected by pain, sadness and terror of the world. It simply means we know our peace will come if we simply be still. We also have hope because we know of the greater place being prepared called heaven.
I'm feeling very sad about a few occurrences about my church not about to be supportive of my Conferences.. I'm told often I'm doing it wrong but this is me being real. I think those who run churches always need to put on that protective front, important protection, as they need to show their strength.
God put me in this position where I don't have to put on a front. I can share the truth and the truth is this walk is hard but guess what it was hard on Jesus too! So the feelings of discouragement are 100% normal!!!!
Invisible pain is the worst. No bloody wounds, no death, No cards, no balloons, no meals, no one by your bedside feeding you chicken noodle soup. Instead you have to learn to deal with the pains of this world all alone! In the end the only one who knows your suffering is Christ himself! Comfort just in that!
The Challenge:
Christ has endured the pain you have felt and he conquered it! This is the same strength Christ can gift to us.
