Used of God

Hers is a condensed version of what I preached for our youth night this past Sunday!





Being Used of God

Joshua 1:1-2 — After Moses died, God called Joshua to lead Israel into the promised land. Joshua wasn’t average; he was used by God.

The Difference Between the Average Christian and the Mighty Christian:

  • The average Christian:

    • Follows the crowd (like those who made the golden calf)

    • Stays comfortable and silent

    • Prays only when convenient

    • Quits when things get hard

    • Avoids serving or stepping up

  • The mighty Christian (like Joshua):

    • Serves faithfully (Joshua was Moses’ servant)

    • Stays close to godly leaders

    • Steps up to lead and obey God’s call

    • Has a right spirit and heart ready for God’s use

How to Let God Use You:

1. Have a Spirit That Can Be Used

  • Be filled with wisdom and a right spirit (Deut. 34:9; Psalm 51:10)

  • Be separated from sin and striving for God (Exodus 33:11)

  • Avoid a complaining or quitting attitude

2. Follow Godly Examples

  • Joshua followed Moses’ example of faithfulness

  • You become like who you follow—choose godly role models

  • Don’t be like the crowd who chose sin

3. Make the Choice to Serve God

  • Joshua said, “Choose this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:15)

  • Your culture or church won’t decide—your love for Jesus will

  • Being used by God is a daily, personal decision

Final Thought:

God wants to use YOU to make a difference. It starts with your attitude, your example, and your choice to be faithful every day.

This is My family This is my Mom and Dad. I love spending time with them. My Dad is the one that led  me to the Lord. I appreciate all that they are to me. They are fun to be around and show a great example of a good marriage. This is my older brother Josh and his wife Tabitha. He is an awesome older brother and they are actually my youth leaders. They are the best youth group leaders I could ask for.  They are personable but fun and always challenge us to grow in our walk with the Lord. And they live next door too! This is my oldest sister Beth. She is actually an author. She has written some pretty good books too, if you like the romance and mystery type of book. She is sweet and and is always helping others. And she is single too in case anyone is interested. She is 27 and is a very good cook. But you will have to talk to my dad first. This is my older sister Brenna and her husband AJ. Her and AJ run the bus route for our church and do a great job at it. They have 2 sons, A...

It has been a really good week for me. For July 4th, our church had an activity with ice cream and some really good fireworks. I'm so thankful for our nation!!! Me and my mom were able to sell the last of our spring goats on Sunday! The Goat in the pic is Aurora. She is really pretty but I'm glad she is going to a new home. I have also been doing a bunch of work with my rabbit pens and scheduling out breeding which will start the end of August! My sister Callie recently started an Etsy shop selling unique earrings.  The ducks below are glow in the dark. We had our Good News at the Park today. it went really well and 58 from our church volunteered. I was also to help lead 2 teen guys to the lord as well with a friend. It is always a blessing to hear someone pray and accept Jesus into their heart! The cookies above was from a lady that gave them to me and I'm so glad because these Publix sprinkle cookies are my favorites. Lastly I was able to receive a certificate from the Bi...

What I have Learned from the Rabbit Business.

If you don't know already, I love breeding and selling rabbits. It has been super fun and in today's post, I will be talking about some of the things I have learned from the rabbit business! 1. Pick the breed If you plan on breeding, raising, and selling rabbits, you first start off by picking which breed you want. Do loads of research to find the breed that best's fit your area, cage space and colors. I chose Holland lops. They are relatively smaller and are the most docile rabbit breed out there. There is a good market in North Florida and they work for my set-up. 2. Buy Supplies Next go to your local Rural King and buy all the rabbit supplies. You want to find a bag of grain, timothy hay and a pet water bottle. Also think about buying food dishes, brush, and treats. You can find cages on Facebook Marketplace or just buy a wire cage at the store. I have connected wire cages that are hanged from the roof using heavy-duty wire. You also want to figure out whether you are ke...
