Hey Girl, My name is Amanda . I created this blog as a way to express my journey with God and to hopefully help someone along the way. It’s crazy because God had been putting it on my heart for a while to start a blog, but I kept ignoring the calling. Nevertheless, here we are at “ Girl, God Got You” . My goal is to share experiences about my walk with the Lord but most importantly, to ignite the things that God is calling you to do in life.

If I am being honest, there are moments in my life that will have me questioning my capabilities and doubting the person that God intended for me to become. What I didn’t realize is God wants me to bring everything to him, not just the cute stuff, but my insecurities, fears, and doubts. When I finally did that, He showed me His love and comfort.

The bible says “ I love you Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock , in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me and my place of safety. I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and He saved me from my enemies.“(Psalm 18: 1-3 NLT) .

We have to understand that God is our safe place- the One who protects us from attacks like negative thinking, people who cause harm, worries, and anxiety. God’s presence protect us.

God helped me realize that he wanted not only to help me, but lead me. This life wasn’t meant for us to walk alone. Girl, know that God sees you, and He cares about everything that you care about. But we have to be honest with how we are feeling. It’s okay to tell God our truth- but let’s allow His truth to be what we follow and not our flesh.

A practice that I have been learning lately is being intentional about my thoughts- taking every negative thought capitative and replacing God’s word with the lies I tell myself . It’s been a process, but my mind has been renewed through this practice.

Here’s what I know: the enemy’s job is to pull you away from your calling and purpose.I got tired of worshipping the negative thoughts, the distractions, and people that weren’t serving me. But this is what we need to remember- Our God created the world, brought dead things back to life, and overcame death for our sake. There is nothing impossible for our God!

So, let’s stop allowing the doubt and the negative thoughts to pull us away from God’s calling. Moving forward, we’re going to put the full armor of God ( Ephesians 6:10-17) and remember- Girl, God’s got you - even in the battle.
