Welcome To FeeFe's Blog: One Year Anniversary: Ministry of Blogging

On July 29, 2012 it was placed in my heart to start blogging and in the twinkling of an eye, it's already been one full year! Yaaaayyyyyy! I find it so amazing how time flies, I even wrote a poem on Time when I was 18 when i realized how time will move forward regardless of what you decide to do in that given period. Anyways today I wanted to make this blog a little different in honor of my one year anniversary. I know most people will probably wonder, "Feefe, why do you blog?" so I will use this day to answer that question. My decision to start blogging came out of the realization of what God desires for me to do. I realized that my life is a ministry, and so is your life. God reminded me of the Great Commission: "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:16-20). In this, God began to show me that there was more that He required of me and from me, that the things He takes me through are not merely just for me, but what I go through also serves to encourage others when they will go through it because it will attest to His faithfulness. In the Scriptures, the Word of God says

"And they triumph over him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony"-Revelation12:11a

God has given everyone of us a ministry by just living life! You do not need to be a pastor with a congregation neither be a television evangelist in order to consider yourself a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, to minister, you have to speak! We have to open up about our experiences, both the good and the bad! How can we share with people that God is a merciful God if we never share when we deserved the wages of our sin, yet He showed us mercy? How can we say that God is a provider, if no one knows of the periods where He stepped in and made a way when we had no money in the bank? How is God a healer, if we cannot let people know of moments He has healed us? How will people know that God is a deliverer if we live our lives like we were always Christians because we refuse to tell people about the "old" you that pass away? (2 Corinthians5:17) You know, the old you that used to curse, club hop, think lustfully, drink and dishonor God with the very bodies He has ordained to be holy? Yes when God saved us, His love redeemed us, but we have a responsibility to let the world know that the same God that gave us a new life, can do the same for them if they only confess Christ and repent! This is the ministry that God has given every one of us! Don't hold your tongue when what you have gone through can save another person's life and possibly their soul!

God has given me the grace to live a transparent life: what you see is what you get. I do not find it shameful to share my experiences good or bad because they all are opportunities to share God and give God glory. Paul said " therefore I will boost all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest upon me".( 2Corinthians 12:9) because people can see God more when there is less of us! Our weaknesses exposes Christ's power so why would we want to hide what we go through when it can serve as an opportunity for God to show up, and show out in all His glory and majesty? YOU are a minister of Christ Jesus, a man of God, a woman of God! We are in the world to represent our Father in everything we do and in any and every possible arena to do so. That's why I blog. That's why I share my struggles and my triumphs. I am by no means perfect, neither am I the best studier of the Bible, not the holiest, not the most knowledgeable, no better than anyone out there. In short, I am merely a 23 years old woman with flaws, living by grace, praying daily to reflect the perfect Love of my Father, but all my weaknesses are tools in the hands of the Almighty. When I started this blog, I wrote on My Mission is Love and a year later I thank God for using this small blog to touch so many lives. One year, almost 5,000 hits later, over 13 different countries and one book publication later, I am pressing towards the Great Commission. I can only pray that God continues to humble me to blog only as He directs and that whatever anyone reads here, will be to their benefit and to His glory. I challenge everyone to make use of the ministry that is their life. The Bible talked about the men with talents and how two used their talents to even make profit but one buried his. God has deposited talents in all of us and we only have to make use of them to make profit, which is to save souls. Do not bury your talent because you think it's too small. Whatever it is, use it and watch God bless it! I pray that as we share our experiences and minister to the world, may souls be saved, and God be praised! Amen!
