Eliminating Distractions

Yesterday during my prayer time, I sought God's guidance to deepen my connection with Him and show me ways to draw nearer. I sensed a prompting in my spirit that eliminating distractions, particularly excessive YouTube consumption, was necessary. Despite the content being clean, I realized it wasn't aiding my spiritual growth.

Therefore, I've made the decision to cut back on YouTube viewing and engage in content that aligns with my spiritual journey, seeking videos that enrich my relationship with Jesus. I'm prioritizing activities that foster spiritual growth, recognizing the importance of utilizing my time wisely.

Ultimately, my focus is on pursuing a deeper connection with Jesus by forsaking distractions and centering my attention on Him.

I challenge you to do the same.

Quotes From AW Tozer's book, Delighting In God

Here are the quotes that stood out to me from AW Tozer's book, Delighting in God. 

Quote 1~ Page 13

"Whenever you find a man of God, you will also find an overwhelming passion for God this almost beyond control. Not a curiosity about God, but a deep passion to experience God is all His Fullness. To know God is the one passion that drives a man into the very heart of God."

Quote 2~ Page 15
"To truly know God as He desires and deserves to be known is not a casual thing, but a lifelong pursuit the ends only when we see Him face to face."

Quote 3~ Page 16
"What people need today is truth- truth organized in a way that allows us to understand God is about. The primary problem with theology is that we have organized it according to man's prejudice. Theology should be the study of God, not our human interpretation of God."

Quote 1 page 26 "No man can preach about God worthily, no man can write about God worthily, unless that man knows God beyond his human ability."

Quote 2 page 28 "Quite frankly, I am dealing with the One you must believe in before you can deny Him: the One who is the Word, the One who enables us to speak concerning Him. On our own, we could produce only a caricature, and a poor one at that, and certainly not worthy of our worship. I refuse to worship anything of my own making."

Quote 3 page 31 "...confidence in God can come only when we begin to know God for who He is. It is my contention that only a true worshipper can know God. Religion can teach about God. Cold, textual theolog can teach you about God. But neither can really bring you into the presence of God, where you begin to know God and have confidence in God that you know. I contend that our faith in God comes naturally and automatically as we begin to know Him personally-not just know about God, an encounter that is not boxed in by reason or logic. A true encounter with God lifts us up above everything we know, and we begin to pierce that Cloud of Unknowing and come into the presence of God."

Happy New Year! 2024 is here!

 2024 is here!

What are your plans for 2024?

I have a lot of things I want to happen this year. 

But I'm not sure if it's God's timing for these types of things to happen.

So, I'll wait and see what this new year brings.

I'm so happy for another year! Another year to live for Jesus!

I get to study more, pray more. Love more! Praise the Lord for all He has planned for this year.

The Prophecy Of Jesus according to Psalm and Isaiah

The Prophecy of Jesus according to Psalm: Psalm 2,22 and 110


Psalm 2:
This is the prophecy according to Psalm.

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.


Psalm 22:

1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.

29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generations.

31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.



Psalm 110

110 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.


The Prophecy of Jesus according to Isaiah:


 53 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.


Summary of the Prophecy of Jesus According to Psalm:

Psalm 2: This psalm depicts the rebellion of earthly powers against God and His anointed, but ultimately God establishes His king on Zion, declaring him His son and promising him dominion over the nations.

Psalm 22: This psalm portrays the suffering and abandonment of the speaker, who is despised and mocked by others. Despite this, he maintains trust in God's deliverance, foretelling a future declaration of God's name to all nations.

Psalm 110: This psalm presents a conversation between God and the king, in which the king is exalted to God's right hand and given authority to rule over enemies. He is also declared a priest forever, foreshadowing a dual role of king and priest.

Summary of the Prophecy of Jesus According to Isaiah:

Isaiah 53: This passage foretells the suffering and sacrificial death of the righteous servant (the messiah) , who will bear the sins of many and make intercession for transgressors. Despite his afflictions, his death will lead to justification and salvation for others.

7 days till Christmas

With only a week remaining until Christmas, my anticipation is out of this world.

It's astonishing to think that Christmas is just around the corner, arriving next Monday.

We're in the final stretch of Vlogmas, with just six more days to capture and share the days leading up to Christmas. Plus I'll be posting a Vlogmas episode on Christmas day.

I want to tell you a little story: Yesterday presented a close call for me. My mom suggested, "Let's sing our Christmas song for your vlog." It dawned on me—I didn't make today's Vlogmas episode!

So we went to work on the vlog, managing to produce a surprisingly good last-minute Vlogmas episode.

Another highlight from yesterday involved creating memories with my mom's aunts, who are sisters to her father.

They're currently at my auntie's house, so we connected with them via video chat on my auntie's iPad.

It was a delightful experience; they're all incredibly kind. I miss them, but there's hope for us to see them next year, particularly for me, as I'm planning on attending my cousin's wedding and they plan on attending the wedding as well.

So that's something to look forward to. I'm so excited to see what the Lord has planned for our family in the year 2024.

I'm going to start posting every Friday on my YouTube channel. This will take effect in 2024.

I'll be making a lot of Faith-based podcast episodes.

Anyway, I'm going to end this blog post with a Bible scripture: Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Blog Post 12/17/23

 Vlogging is easier for me to do. Which is funny, because I'm an author.

You would think blogging would be easier for me.

But I want to give blogging a go. I want to blog at least once a week.

And I'm going to be blogging about my life.

Like some of you know, I've been doing vlogmas.

Vlogmas is something video creators do from the 1st of December until Christmas.

I'm on Vlogmas Day 17. It's been fun. The last eight days my mom and I are singing Christmas songs.

Yesterday we sung Frosty the snowman while my dad played the piano. 

If you have any song suggestions comment them down below. 

Yesterday was a fun day. My mom and I watched a Christmas movie, then we went bike riding.

I spent a lot of the day editing videos.

My mom and I did some reading. For the past two years we've been reading The Boxcar Children series.

We're on book 19. This is the last book the orginal author wrote. I can't wait to see if the style changes after this book. Sometimes other authors keep the same style. Other times it's different.

I own the first 25 books (i think) and then I bought some books from a garage sale. But those aren't in order. One is like book 99 😳😮

I can't believe there's over 100 books of The Boxcar Children. It's crazy. I also saw that they made a series about Jessie Alden. They are mystery books.

I thought that was neat. Anyways, I have a goodreads account. And on there I had a goal to read 23 books this year. And I only read...Nine! LOL I horrible at this.

Last year I meet the goal. Oh well. I'm not too worried about it. I'll try better next year.
