Hey! I’m Chelsea and I started this website as a way to get closer to God through devotional time. I thought, why not share it with others? If I have questions, it’s very possible that you have questions as well. Eventually, this website will have short storiesarticles as well as devotions. I would also like to implement prayer requests and a place to share answered prayers and testimonials I can feature.
I live in Texas with my mom and our two dogs Twiggy and Bella. I’m a woman who has been through the fire many times, and the only way I came out of it was the love of God.
Until things come together, please feel free to comment your need for prayer. You have the option of telling me “Please pray, God knows.” or if you want it to be specific, you’re more than welcome to share. Praying it all comes together soon!
Ephesians 4:29 NIV “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
If anyone exemplified the verse above, it was Charlie Kirk. He changed me with the words he spoke. How did he do that? It’s so simple. He stood on the Word of God and then shared it with everyone he came in contact with. This inspired me to continue digging deeper into my Bible and allowing the words of God to change me.
Do you remember the old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me”? Well, from personal experience I can tell you they actually do. Words have the power you build you up or tear you down. Nothing helps me more than the positive words I hear and receive from friends and family. Likewise, I enjoy seeing the joy on someone’s face when I tell them something positive like how beautiful their art is, or how smart they are. You never know when a kind word will turn someone’s day around for the positive.
I want to emphasize where Paul says ‘only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” My goal in life is to follow scripture and Charlie Kirk’s example of encouraging others to know and apply God’s truth.
I read something that said the average human speaks approximately 16,000 words a day. That’s 16,000 chances for us to share God’s love, The Gospel, and words that will put joy in someone’s heart. I don’t plan to be as powerfully effective as Charlie Kirk was, but I can affect those around me. I’ve got 16,000 chances a day to make it happen and so do you.
