Molly's Zone

The final installment in my wilderness series is an opportunity to shine the light through darkness; a light that I hope encourages someone who may come upon this post. In my own season of wilderness, the Lord's forgiveness and potential for spiritual growth are things that I am clinging to. Let me just write that none of us will ever arrive without Jesus. We may think we have it all under control, but we remain under a constant threat of deception. I have had many a stumble and have come upon this realization time and time again; yet, I have continuously struggled in my stubborn flesh. We all struggle and I felt like this week it would be an encouragement to let all know that Christ loves you & wants you to confront those shortcomings head on. Do not let it devour you; that statement can be a hard one to live up to. It is also wise to remember that as believers, we are all immersed in the process of sanctification. At 27, I'm not the same individual as I was five years...

We all find ourselves surrounded by the wilderness throughout certain moments of our walk through life; as born again believers, we sometimes encounter the learning of lessons through said wilderness. We begin to be strengthened in our walk as a result. Regardless of whether we plop ourselves into the shades of the forest or life just throws a spear into our field of vision, we must always remember to consider Christ. The largest web the wilderness weaves is the spirit of deception. A spirit that becomes proud. We begin to question our need for God. We soak ourselves in self righteousness. We pursue the flesh and its many desires, instead of pursuing His word and wisdom. The minute that we take a bite from the fruit of deception, the seed is fiercely wedged into our soul, and the only plant that grows is one of destruction. Life can become difficult in the blink of an eye. Your health may fail in one way or another. Unforeseen circumstances might be throwing you for a loop. Whatever...

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted: A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;" (Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 King James Version) Life so often throws us down pathways that we never could have fathomed traveling. I just relaunched the blog recently and while I usually spend a week preparing a draft, this series is one in which I am just choosing to "wing it" and hope it helps another soul along their personal journey. Last week, I wrote about riding down a path of wilderness during the past year and a half;  yet, it is another off road that I still am finding myself enduring. My whole concept for the next few weeks consisted of: prayer, purpose, and praise in the wilderness. As I was led to an unexpected snippet of light last night while flipping through my Bible and asking the Lord to lead ...

I am truly elated to revive Molly's Zone, and allow myself to rise from the ashes of the journey I have traveled . The blog has always been a true passion and love in my life; my work is extremely dear to my soul and I have always felt that words are the most powerful weapon we have against Satan's devious schemes. One of my goals in starting this blog nearly four years ago was to inspire readers and to uplift them; to share my faith with all who would read. I have gone through a wilderness recently, and my motivation to create seemingly dissipated. I believe that we all go through times of having a dry spirit in order for God to continue molding us into who we are meant to be. I have lived with a space edging between my craft and I; the distance lasting a full year and a half. I wrote countless pieces that just failed to exude the same amount of heart; the words instead cast an essence of distraction. I dropped all of my previous outlets & recently joined Coffee House...
