becoming strong in the faith

By -
As one studies more and more, the stronger in the faith one gets. I'm not telling you that I have reached that goal, but part of me feels like I am making progress. For the past few months, I have really been dialing into the Bible. I have been reading and studying, but I think what's really making the difference is listening to many hours of church services. I feel like I am getting more and more knowledge and it is building my innate biblical discernment and awareness.

One night, I really felt like a dark cloud was passing over a young couple who used to attend our church. I prayed and it went away. I am not saying there was anything to that. It is possible that it was merely my imagination, but I believe it was important to believe it. I reached out to the young couple and told them that I prayed for them. No response, but I expected that. It is becoming a common practice for people to not acknowledge texts anymore. Becoming a warrior for Christ is risky, especially among those who haven't come as far as you. It takes a long time and a lot of dedication to become completely surrendered to God. 

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:16‭-‬18‬ ‭NLT‬‬
[16] Always be joyful. [17] Never stop praying. [18] Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.



Another example is a friend on Facebook who told me about her injured arm. I prayed in public for her and she liked my comment. Isn't that nice? She liked my prayer. Becoming a bold warrior is something everyone might achieve, but at different times. 

So which are you? Are you bold or not quite there?

A soldier is better being protected vs. being unprotected. One thing I really enjoy is going to the gym. I love to exercise. Now, in order to get the benefits of the gym, I need to go there in person. I can read tons of books and magazines teaching about how to build muscle and tone up, and that's good for head knowledge, but for physical benefit, I have to go to the gym.  The same I believe can be applied to the Bible. We can study and gain all kinds of knowledge, but unless we apply it, it's useless.  More coming next Friday Sept. 8th, 2023 on YouTube.  New song coming Thanksgiving 2023!  Let's connect:  Facebook: www.facebook.com/TamaraChaos Instagram: www.instagram.com/TamaraChaos MEWE : Tamara Chaos  Blog: https://tamaraChaos.blogspot.com

persevere in the purpose God has given you

This is how I feel sometimes. I talk, I write, I sing, is anyone listening? I show my exercise, do I inspire anyone? Sure, absolutely, I know I'm doing it for God and that keeps me going, but it is nice to hear back from people. Comments are very important to people who do things like me. Not emojis!  Emojis hardly convey anything. Sure, I love emojis as much as the next person, but words have SO much more meaning.  People go on and on, if you're feeling lonely or need help, reach out. What good is this if no one answers? Know what that feels like? Rejection. Yes, Christians aren't supposed to feel rejected, oh wait, I'm sorry, that's only me, I'm not allowed. I'm not allowed to express anger or hurt feelings, because the person didn't intend to do that, so, I shouldn't feel that way. I will let you in on a secret, I do feel that way sometimes, and it's ok. God accepts me just the way I am, no matter if I have BPD or not. But as this ...

Tamara received a notification in the mail that she was going to have to report for jury duty. But turns out that that is not necessary anymore because the parties have decided not to have a trial. So that is good news in a way.  Today is the dragon boat race. This is something that Phil and I really enjoy. We were going to go to the opening ceremony last night, but due to the rain, it was canceled. There is another ceremony this morning before the dragon boat races commence.  You can view the playlist here:  Dragon Boat Races #dragonboatraces #fortwayne #dragonboat Dragon Boat Races 2022 According to the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation, Dragon Boat Racing is a sport meant to combine Chinese tradition with competition, team building and fun. Dragon Boats are 46 feet long, have 20 paddlers, 1 drummer, and 1 steersman and are decorated with bright colors, dragon scales and a dragon head and tail. It seems like last year it was canceled altogether- so it'll be really, really...
