STRONGER " I once heard my Youth Pastor say that if you are not experiencing trials and persecution, you should re-evaluate how you are living, because satan is out to attack those who are diligently following Christ. With that in mind, it is safe to say that those who are actively seeking God are going to be tested. About a year-and-a-half ago, I was feeling that pressure and sadly believing the lies satan was throwing at me. Consumed by the media and magazines, my desire to be super-thin overwhelmed me, and that was what I thought defined beauty. Thankfully, I never suffered from anorexia, but I got dangerously close. After seeing my older sister fight the eating disorder a few years before, I promised myself I would never fall into that, but the world's influence on me was powerful. It wasn't until I was so tired of striving to look perfect, that I literally called upon the name of Jesus to rescue me from the grip satan had on my life. And He was so faithful in restoring my self-image and assuring me that I am wonderfully and beautifully made in Christ's image. On my own I was so hopeless and worn out, but He made me stronger. Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." " THE OTHER SIDE " As followers of Christ, we walk on the other side of what is normal in the eyes of the world. Often it is difficult to live out a life of faith, and it seems as though we are standing alone, but ultimately it is so much more rewarding. We can expect persecution and hardships on this earth, but be strengthened by the realization that this world is not our home. Consider the life of Paul, a man who endured unbelievable suffering for the sake of Christ, yet he experienced incredible joy and peace because of his salvation. He said in Acts 20:24, "I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace." " IT'S YOUR LIFE " Living in the fast pace of the Washington, DC area, I am constantly on the move and always staying busy--sometimes so busy I don't stop to sit down, relax, and take pleasure in the little joys of life! I’ve heard the phrase, "live everyday like it is your last" and that helps me remember that this life is so short, so we should live it to the fullest. " * BONUS VIDEO - Joy sings an acoustic version of her single "It's Your Life" !
