He's on the Inside Not the Outside

All my life I have always looked to the sky, up above when talking about God. I think we all do it. We look to a God that is outside, away from us. In doing that we mentally detached ourselves from God. We may not do it on purpose but it sure does make it easier to live our lives as we see fit. When we think of a God that is watching us from a far. Maybe even over our shoulder, that disappears when do things that He does not like. What I have learned on this journey is

Yes to Your Way Lord

I am sure that none of us could ever imagine saying no to the Lord. But the truth is that we say no everyday. We say no when we live our lives as we see fit. We say no when we continue to live in our sin. And we say no when don't acknowledge Him daily. I think the Lord deserves more 'yeses' from all of us. He is better to us than any of us deserve. If we just say, yes Lord. Our lives would be better for it. He has plans for our lives. Plans for us to prosper and not

Stand Alone

I am going to apologize ahead of time, if this comes across the wrong way. This is a subject that has caused me some hurt as I began my journey. Now I really believe that I am over this, that I've grown from this experience and have begun to heal. But this is something that I still would like to talk about. I am sure that you have heard people say that, when you change your life for the Lord, that you are going to lose some friends. I have heard many pastors say this over

The Importance of Prayer

What is prayer? The dictionary says that it is an earnest hope or wish. Personally I believe that prayer is so much more than that. Another definition I came across is, a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship. This definition is more in tune to what I think. But to put it more simply, prayer is our conversations with the Lord. It is beneficial for us to talk to God. It is one of the most significant things we can do as

Questions Anyone?

Today I thought I would do something a little different. I want to know if anyone has any questions. Questions about me, my journey, my book, my blogs, maybe even something I 've discussed on my social media pages. I am an open book. I may answer you directly or do my next blog post about it. So, does anyone have any questions for me??? #questions #personaljourney #understandingGod #spritualwalk #spiritualgifts #peace #walkingwithGod #Godstories #sherrykirkland #walk #my

The Unseen World Around Us, Ephesians 6:10-17

There are good and bad forces all around us. Guiding us and influencing our thoughts and actions. We need to be aware that there are things working together for our good but there are also things that work against us. For me it is all very black and white, good or evil, positive or negative, right or wrong. My outlook is that everything is either heavenly inspired or it is not. This world is full of distractions and I believe that anything that distracts you from God's pu

Conviction Before Repentance

In the world today there seems to be a lack of true repentance. Repentance means to turn away from sin, to change, to regret your misdeeds and wrong doings. There are many people who say they love God, that pay their tithes and offerings, who even hold positions in their church but continue to live a worldly lifestyle. I believe this is because they are not convicted for their sins. Maybe they do not realize that they are sinning or maybe they know and believe that everyth

Choose Me Lord

I find myself in a place where I just want to be used by the Lord. It doesn't matter when, where or how. I just want him to use me. I can imagine myself as a small child with my hand raised, jumping up and down, anxiously saying ooh, ooh, ooh Lord pick me, choose me, I'll do it. Not knowing what the task is or what it would require of me, just eager to do something for the Lord. This also makes me think of what it could've been like to be with the Lord before our lifetime

A God of My Own Understanding

I believe I first heard this term on YouTube. As I was listening to the testimony of a man who decided to get to know God for himself. This term spoke volumes to me because I did not know Him personally. I always went to the church house, to my pastor to other people to find out who God was. I had gone to church my whole life and yet I was still in a place of uncertainty, where I was not sure if I really knew Him at all. At this time, I knew what I had been told about Him

Why I Don't Like to Say That I'm Saved

When I hear others say that they are saved, I ponder just a bit because it sounds so complete and final. Like they have made it to the finish line, it sounds like they are safe and their job is done. It makes me think about the games that we played when we were little. Games like kick ball and baseball. When you made it back to the home plate you were safe and they couldn't get you out any more. That was the final destination and you could finally breathe a sigh of relie

Marriage is a Love That's Worth Fighting For

Every year me and my friends get together for a marriage retreat. This is a time that we seek to be closer to God, closer to our spouses and closer to each other. We all look forward to this annual event. For a chance to reconnect with friends, have fun and participate in daily bonding sessions. Where we not only bond with our spouses but with each other. And we always leave this retreat with our marriages strenthened in some way. For the last two years my friends have t

A Love That Surpasses All Understanding

For this title I am replacing the word peace with love because today I want to talk about God's love. I have been on this journey, my walk with Christ for just a little over two years. I have learned a lot. During this time God has revealed so much to me, things about myself and things about him. But the one thing that I learned that I am one hundred percent sure about is that God loves us, so very much. He loves us to a degree that I am not sure if I will ever fully be a

Because God Told Me To

It has been a continual prayer of mine for the Lord to present me with opportunities to speak about him. Since I found God, I have a passion to share of his love, his grace and mercy. Now when I was asking for these things I was only talking about speaking to someone whose path I may cross or a chance to speak to my friends and family about him. And I was always granted a moment to do just that. The thing about God is that, when he answers your prayers, he will not only g

This Will All be Over Soon

This is about a message I received yesterday morning. Now before I tell you what the message was I want to tell you what I prayed about the night before. Before I went to bed I talked to the Lord about a lot of things. But specifically I spoke to him about me being so distracted lately. Every since I finished my book, I have had so much on my mind Everything from posting videos, to managing a website, this blog, my job, my family. I just got a lot going on right now. S

...Not Now Lord Part 2

I don't want too sound cocky but I knew I was going to get the scholarship. The way the Lord had answered my prayers. He had given me exactly what I asked for. This had to work and it did. When I received the message from my publisher that I did indeed win a scholarship, I had yet another reason to give him praise. The essay I wrote was titled Why I Want To Be An Author.

I Was So Close to Saying Not Now Lord

There is something about me being asleep that allows the Lord to communicate with me easier. Maybe it's because I 'm not distracted or because I'm more relaxed or maybe it's just because I'm more receptive. I really don't know how it works, I just know that it does. If you have read my book you know that I receive a lot of dreams. Outside of my daily walks, I frequently receive answers to my prayers through my dreams. On this particular day October 4, 2017 I received gui

Cover Change??

I am sure you all have noticed by now the cover has changed since my first announcement. Don't get me wrong I really love the original cover but I know that I was trying to hide. From the very beginning I did not want to be on the cover at all. I have always been the type of person to avoid attention. I never wanted to be in the spotlight. I was perfectly okay with being the silent observer and keeping my thoughts and opinions to myself. Things are different now. I am

About My Book

My Extraordinary Walk is my personal testimony. It is about me finding God and forging a personal relationship with Him. It is in Him that I found my passion and purpose for life. As I drew closer to him he drew closer to me and that's when my whole life has changed. I began to experience God, which is something that I never knew was even possible. For me getting to know God was easy. I did this through daily prayer, worship and reading his word. I never took a day off
