How did you get to know God?

-


I was speaking to a friend and he asked me how I got to know God. I think it was one of the greatest questions anyone has ever asked. As he listened I rolled out this long story about how God called me. That's how I feel I met him. I feel he's always watched over me bringing me closer to him one obstacle at a time. Slowly dimming the light on the path I was on and taking me to a better journey. One that is promising, one that endures forever. I really feel God knew me all along. He was just waiting on me to know him.

My coworker began to tell me how much he loves hearing stories of how people grow to know the Lord. I encouraged him to write a book about it lol!


I would love for you to share. How long did God wait for you?

    Child birth! After having my first baby, the whole labor and delivery... ONLY God. Then this little beautiful human, I just knew that I needed to do what it takes for her to, if anything else, get back to heaven when her time comes. Somewhere between that moment and now, God brought me to His Son, Jesus. HALLELUJAH! I am so grateful. I thought I messed up too bad, but nope. Just like Resurrection, I can get back up again, just like Jesus did for us. HALLELUJAH!

    My father already explained who God, Jesus and Mary were. He sat me down as a little kid and told me the whole story of how Jesus came to be. He also explained the scientific version with the evolution of apes. For the most part we only attended services on holidays and when I got a little older I went to bible school.
    From what I can remember God started calling me in middle school. I started attending a Sunday Catholic services with my boyfriend and his father. After our relationship ended I still went to service by myself which was weird of course (you know how that goes) but for some reason I always felt the need to get up on a Sunday by myself to attend service. I started attending nondenominational services soon after. These experiences were quite shocking from traditional catholic services but I was open to what I call “Church Shopping”. I got saved in college and it wasn’t until I moved to Charlotte 5 years ago that I truly started to understand what it means to be a Christian and to be Saved. I got baptized as an adult and started for the first time ever making the right choices in my life. God has always called me but when I was young and dumb I couldn’t hear him clear enough. Now my communication with him is Bold and it feels good.

I Am Rich

I am rich in Faith. I am rich in Good Health. I am rich in Love. I am rich in Freedom. I am rich in Happiness. I am rich in Peace. I am rich in Family. I am rich in Friends. I am rich in heart. God has given us so many Blessings. Everywhere your eye can see there are Blessings for us to enjoy.   Such Blessings include the sun to warm our skin, the breeze to blow our hair, wonderful smells to enlighten our senses, stories to warms our hearts, music to move our feet, and food to speak to our souls.   Why on earth would anyone think of themselves as anything less than rich? The answer is simple.   There are many differentiations of the term rich.   For example, the definition of rich is to have a great deal of money or assets.   According to the Wall Street Journal, a net worth of $1.4 Million will put you in the top 5% of Americans.   Yet, the wealthy today view this figure as chump change.   This just goes to show you we all view being rich differently.   I decided to

Today is my last day with WBTV

This is a bitter sweet moment for me.   I am very sad to leave behind a family here at WBTV.   Every single person has welcomed me into the newsroom with open arms.   Each person has taught me something along the way whether they literally sat down and verbalized it to me or simply displayed it in their character.   With so much talent in one building I must say I am truly honored to be amongst such an amazing group of individuals.   I will miss the entire crew- THANK YOU for everything! The reason for my departure is to begin a new venture with Fox Charlotte.   I have been offered a dream job as a meteorologist and reporter. More importantly, this position is aligned with opportunity for growth so I immediately blurted out, “Where do I sign” (lol). I am excited to enter unfamiliar territory for I am a lover of knowledge.   I have officially started reading my first weather book titled, “The Atmosphere”.   In life there are times God will speak to us loudly and boldly.   This

I Need Good Lovin

Picture Provided By Level21 Magazine.  Everyone needs love.  However, I constantly meet new, amazing people who are all in need of love & expecting to find it in a lover! Please don't hate me for what I'm about to say, but my heart is screaming--  You must love yourself first, no one can do it for you. Oh my goodness, it kills me to see a young, vibrant woman jump out of a relationship immediately run straight into another one.  It saddens me to hear someone cry about wanting & needing love but not willing to do the work themselves.  The best and most concrete form of love is to first love yourself.  There is no man or women in the world that can love you better.  We need to stop hoping & praying that this new person who is going to love the socks off of your feet will be able to give the kind of love you need for all time.  This is one main reason relationships do not last. We are putting too much weight on our lovers to make us happy.  You must have your
