Road Trip! (What God Done For Me)

    So to start off this blog post, I'd like to first say, God is good!! I recently went to Bama for a youth revival, and it was the greatest weekend 2017 has had to offer so far. I seen God working in many lives, and even my own life. There were a few saved and thank you Lord for that. But today I'd like to tell everyone my experience. 

    In one of my recent blogs I told everyone about some guy trouble I had a few months ago. Man it hit me hard. I've never shed so many unnecessary tears, or even cried alone in my closet at night. Yes, as girls we think this will be the biggest problem we will ever have. Let me say, it's not. I promise. This past weekend God really pressured me about it, and yes the guy that broke me was there. But seeing him happy with the decision that was made, made me come to the realization that God didn't want it and I had to accept it. Although it was Friday night, and I still didn't want to stop trying. That night a lady told us a story about how she was ungrateful for what she had. She took for granted what she had, instead of being thankful for just what God had given her. This kept me up a while that night. I pondered for a while on the thought that maybe I should be thankful for what I have to. And that is in God alone. No guy could ever give me the happiness that God can offer. As girls, we so often think that if we find the perfect guy that life will be all joy and love. NO! Absolutely not. 

    So long story short, those three months that me and "the guy" weren't talking, I went into depression. No, no one knew but me. I listened to the absolute WORST music ever and never thought to be thankful for life. I thought what's the point in living, he thinks I'm ugly, so that must mean every guy thinks I'm ugly. I had just came to the realization that I was plain ugly. Everyday I'd say to myself no guy will ever love me. Girls please don't do this. If you're like I was, take it to God. He will pull you through. I have been in church my whole life and I'm just now realizing I only need HIM! 

    Saturday morning I told the Lord I'd wait on Him to send me someone, and that's what I'm doing. For now, I'm seeking him through his word and prayer everyday. I encourage you to do the same. The Lord has done TOO much for us, for we as Christian's to treat him like dirt. Let me also say if you have not received him as your personal savior, you should. It's the best thing that will ever happen to you! If you need any help with that you can definitely email me about it: Tatumchavis@gmail.com.
   
    Well, I most certainly hope that some of you got something out of that. I don't want to see anyone in the state I was in. It's a truly sad situation. Thank you for reading! XOXO, Tatum!
Romans 8:28.
P.s. I look rough in these because I cried SO much this morning. Just excuse the mess.😂

Dare To Be a Deborah

Hey Y'all! It's been a few weeks since I last blogged, and I am SO SORRY!! With the Holidays rolling around it's been pretty busy. These past few weeks I've been studying about a woman named Deborah from the book of Judges. Some may know who I'm talking about, and some may not. My Pastor has been going through the book of Judges on Wednesday nights, and I absolutely love it! A few weeks ago we got to the story of Deborah and Barak. I had already been thinking about doing a study on a woman in the Bible, and then God told me she was my woman! So, I read, studied, and researched, and now I'm gonna share with y'all what God gave me.      If you know anything about the book of Judges, you know it's all about Israel's  up and down life of serving the Lord. One day they wanted to do right, and the next they were right back to sinning. So, God raised up these Judges to lead them. In chapter 4, God raises up a woman Judge named Deborah. Just like always, I...

A Worship that Pleases God

Ask yourself: Do I spend time worshiping enough? Is my life truly pleasing the Lord? How do I know I really love the Lord with all that is in me? On today's blog I am gonna share with y'all what God has shown me recently. I just love when God works in my life, but, in order to continue living for him how I should, it's gonna take a great deal more than just rushing through my morning chapter, and a quick prayer everyday. I hope, with Gods help, that I can be a help with y'all in this area!      The first question I said to ask yourself was: Do I spend time worshiping enough? Worship is certainly not meant JUST for church! We should worship God in our everyday lives. If you only worship the Lord on Sundays and Wednesdays, that's your first problem. To keep that good relationship and fellowship with God, you need to maintain a worshiping lifestyle. I heard someone say, It's so much easier to live a christian life if you get saved! This could be true in your life...

Praise Him With Your Whole Heart

So, this blog is probably gonna be a bit scattered just because this has been on my heart for the past couple of weeks, and I just couldn't find the words to say. But, after pondering on it for a while, and doing some research, I think I can finally sit down and write up a blog for y'all! On my phone I have the "Bible by Tecarta" app, and it notifies each morning with a daily Bible verse. A couple weeks back I woke up to Mark 7:20-23 , and God quickly laid it on my heart to read that whole chapter. So, I did, and wow. It's one of those moments where you know you've been praying for something, and God just finally shows you what to do, or how to fix it. Anyone else know how that feels? When I came to verse 6, I began to cry. It says: "He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrisies, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." I'd recently been praying for God to help...
