I will NOT be destroyed.

Satan is so much stronger than any of us give him credit for. He knows our weaknesses, our struggles and our past sins. Satan cannot take God's destiny from you, but you can open your hands and give your destiny away. So Satan places people and situations in our lives to make us question God and His destiny for our life. Satan can strip your outward appearance, he can take away the things that you believe define you. But he cannot strip your inward person. It is time2believe in who we are in Christ. For it is in Christ that we are defined. God wants all compromise out of our lives. It is time to get out of compromising situations and RUN!. The Bible says to flee from all evil. If Satan can get you to give up, quit, or believe it's all hopeless he wins! You need to stand strong. We serve an all-powerful God who longs to meet with us and show us His destiny for our lives. It is important to remember that our timing is not God's timing. It's in God's timing that you will do the most for His kingdom. It is in His timing that you will do the most amazing things in His name. Satan cannot rob you but he can create hardship and doubt in your life that will lead you to willingly let go of your God written destiny. The harvest is coming and now is the time for Christians to be trained. For when the harvest comes it will be too late for training. In my head I see a trumpet being blown, calling all generations to come out from hiding and walk the streets to show how strong and determined God's children are. I don't know about you but I am ready to fight. Now is the time to dress in the armor of God. WE NEED TO BE PREPARED SO THAT WE ARE NOT OVERWHELMED. God has placed people and resources in our life to prepare us.  Do not be afraid to stand out, stand up, and stand strong. For nothing is impossible with God. You tell Satan there is NO room for him in God's destiny for your life. He can take all of his schemes back because they will only encourage you to push through stronger and grab hold of God's promises just for you. I am so humbled because I have known Christ for over 14 years and I still don't let His power rule my life completely. It's time for my fear, my doubt, my hopelessness to stop robbing my faith and let my passion and love for Jesus Christ start operating my faith. BE PREPARED... BECAUSE DOOR ARE GOING TO OPEN.

I am not okay

In the past few months

“Hey Morgan, How are you??

(In my head…I am not okay.) Oh hi! I’m great how are you???

I am not okay. Those are words that I NEVER NEVER thought I could say. But in the past few months that is how I have felt. Sometimes, it seems that as a confident woman you can never be weak. These past months have been the worst I have ever experienced. I have felt anger, pity, frustration, jealously, and confusion. But I have yet to confess these feelings and thoughts.  As a Christian looking back, I know that I should have turned to God, but instead I turned to rebellion. I now look back and realize the attitude and outlook that I had, only gave Satan more glory. BUT what I want to make clear is what I have learned. Our God does know what is best for us and sometimes what is best for us is not easy. I do believe that the trials in life give birth to opportunities of praising God. As the band Tree 63 sings, “God gives and takes away”. I sure do like it better when He gives… but I do appreciate when He takes away because it’s out of love. My life still seems out of control to me, but maybe that is because this way I have no confidence that I can run it all by myself. Instead I have to utterly and completely rely on God. I have to remember that my whole life is in His hands. He does know best… He does know best…. He does know best (and no this is not a typo, I have to remind myself of this very often.) I just want to tell other girls out there, you don’t have to always be strong. You might feel like a real life super hero… but that feeling doesn’t last long. It’s more about the nights where you cry yourself to sleep or when you paste the “I’m fine” smile on your face. I feel your pain. I know how hard it is to keep it up. In my head I grew up as “Little Miss Goodie Goodie” so I could not do anything wrong. I needed to be the friend who was there for everyone. But it was not up to them to be there for me. That would be a burden. Well girls that is a COMPLETE lie!! I should have reached out and shared my struggles with others. Romans 3:23 says, “For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”. Haha I have read it over and over and it does not say, “For all have sinned (except Morgan Towle) and fallen short of the glory of God”. So I am right there with everyone else. And so are you!! It’s okay though because as believers in Jesus Christ we have been forgiven!!

To wrap this up, I want to say… first recognize you like everyone else sins and then remember that it is not healthy to keep every hardship to yourself. Reach out to a friend, mentor, or even your parents. (God gave them to you for times just like these and believe it or not they have probably been in the same spot as you). Also as you share with your friends it will create a bond within your relationship that says, “it’s okay to be NOT OKAY”.
