The Dawn of Consumed in Fire Blog

Greetings! Welcome to Consumed in Fire

 

I'd like to first come out and say that the Lord has compelled me to write this blog for him for a very long time. Every now and then for the past few months I would ask the Lord, “So, have you changed your mind about that thing you wanted me to do?” and of course he said “No”. So I've been running from this assignment for too long and I think I'm tired now, I've hit a dead end on this road. Either I turn my back on God and do as I please and go where I want to go or I completely go to the Lord and allow him to guide me and be an obedient servant for his glory… challenge accepted. I’m still learning how to let go many of my plans that I have clenched onto for so long, they’ve been programmed into my brain and really hard to let go. But I know God’s plans are good, so this is a leap of faith for me. I should also mention I really don’t know why God has me doing this when I’m not that great of a writer. Seriously! I keep asking God, “Maybe you have the wrong person? You do have 7 billion other children; it could be that other person over there” and of course he doesn’t have me mistaken for some other person, he knows me all too well. So I'm writing this blog, somewhat blind of what is up ahead (if there is anything up ahead, maybe it’s only a test of obedience). And the last thing I should mention is that I’ve known about the Lord since I was around the age of 6 but I really didn’t get to know and have a real earnest relationship with the Lord until I was about 16. I’m now 21, so my walk with the Lord hasn’t been a long one and I’m still learning. In this blog (from what the Lord has told me) I will be writing about… well I don’t know yet. The Lord has told me that this blog will be a blessing for the young people in my generation. I’ve once heard that our generation (millennials) are “The Lost Generation” because of the difficulty of finding a job, paying for over-priced college tuition and are still living with their parents. But the term “The Lost Generation” speaks to me on another level because it’s so true. There are so many that are lost without the Lord. They are lost in darkness and don’t know how to get out. I pray that this blog helps those who are lost and are looking for answers. If I could help at least one person to walk in the light and find the Lord with this blog, then I would be more than blessed to do this assignment. I will be sharing the things that the Lord wants me to share and also share some good music, I pray that God blesses this blog and everyone that ever stumbles upon this blog. God Bless.
