We are all originated by a spark of light. Light is a force that is so powerful that it can eliminate the fear that the world instills in our hearts. Time and time again we read in the bible that we are to be the light of the world, Jamey takes this call literally as he strives to lighten each moment with his upbeat, energetic spirit.

Jamey speaks on the power of connection, chasing your own dreams and aspirations, normalizing casual conversation with god, enjoying life in God's boundary, contributing to the good of this world, and leaving a friendly impact on others.

God's Blueprint. is better than ours. Our desires change and evolve ALL THE TIME, but God's intentions and desires are constant. That is why He is so kind to take the responsibility of laying out the blueprint for our lives with His heightened eyes instead of our lowly minds and hearts. Do not be condescending to our god and His calling to design the structure of our lives by believing you know best, He has been a god for a long time and has easily and effortlessly earned our trust. God is a knowledgeable architect who knows best. He can reveal His designs to us through the direct lines of prayer, which requires us to open our channels to Him. I invite you to come down to reality and understand that you are not speaking to a wall but actually to the creator. David A. Bednar addresses the natural tendency with prayer to approach it like a grocery list, we are beggars to God and see prayer as an opportunity to ask more from God instead of understanding how we can prove our loyalty and faithfulness to Him. We are entitled to believe that God will give us everything we want when we want it. But God doesn't deserve to be tested like a grocery list. Don't be shallow and stubborn to God, let Him answer your prayers with His perfect grace, let Him surprise you! He will answer our prayers and take care of our desires within His mercy, will, and bounds. Favor His blueprint for your life with confidence that His plan is much more beautiful than yours.

Miracles. We have almost made them out to be this fictional idea, we put God in a box and expect that miracles ceased when he left this earth. That the earlier Saints and stories in the Bible were the last of Christ's miraculous works. But I say no. I am so blessed to have a firm belief that Christ is continuously blessing us with miracles. The breath we have in our lungs is a miracle. The sun rises and sets each day, that’s a miracle. Technology allows us to communicate with a person in seconds, yet another miracle. A small seed transforms into a mighty tree, what a wonderful miracle and the components in our body allow us to breathe, grow, evolve, and live!! Our life within itself is a miracle. I am so grateful for a lifetime full of miracles and more to come. I know that miracles are manifestations of divine or spiritual power. God has no limits so let’s stop the cycle of placing Him in a box. He knows what miracles we need to understand they’re from a heavenly individual, He knows what angels we need in our lives, He knows that as we acknowledge him and his goodness we will feel an immense sense of joy, peace, and solitude. There truly is stillness in appreciating the daily miracles. In all your ways, acknowledge him.

In this world, it has almost been a trend to leave and abandon your faith which literally makes my heart break. So imagine the intensity of God's heartbreak and sorrow as he sees His beloved children leave. There is no benefit to deserting your beliefs. On the other hand, there are ONLY BENEFITS in pursuing and cherishing your religion and God. A faithful walk of life brings fulfillment, satisfaction, strength, courage, security, value, purpose, light, hope, and SO. MUCH. MORE. I can stand up straight knowing my identity, I can look towards the heavens in my valleys, I can live a life of service and feel strengthened by the spirit, I can feel free from the chains of the adversary as I envision the sacrifice of my Savior, I can live knowing there is hope for a better more elevated life ahead, I can view ANYONE AND EVERYONE in my life as a blessing, I can continue with no regret walking upright as a Christian. Even if my belief was a lie, it gifted me a BEAUTIFUL life as I embarked on a life in harmony with Christ. EVEN IF ALL ELSE FAILS, I AM GLAD TO STAY BY MY SAVIOR'S SIDE AND REMAIN FAITHFUL.

We often only give God power over the margin of our story. We limit what edits God is able to make in our life, which is the biggest mistake we could make because ultimately that is keeping us from experiencing a joy we never knew was possible. He is a master creative. Our story has the potential to be so beautiful as we hand our will over to him.

In the world that we live in, our activity and productivity often are seen to determine our identity and value but God teaches that "WHO YOU ARE determines WHAT YOU DO". When you lose sight of who you are, you end up being someone you never wanted to end up being! If you are unsure who you are, I call you to fall to your knees and ask God to make it clear to you, He truly is eager to speak truth into you. Let me remind you that God refers to his disciples as "the salt of the earth", in scriptures salt was seen to be useful and valuable. The Israelites used salt as a reminder of WHO THEY ARE!!! We too are valuable because we are God's REASON.

Hurry kills intimacy with the Lord. There is a reason "walk" was referred 212 times in the bible. Waiting produces patience. Your suffering truly does bring experience and hope. As we hold on to the hope which god embodies, we are no longer paralyzed by shame, fear, and anxiety. Let God write your story and walk with you, make more than a margin for the Lord! Let him WRITE YOUR STORY.

We often cheat our spirits and souls when we chase after TEMPORAL things!! We stretch ourselves further than we are able in order to satisfy only temporary desires. Our goals, hopes, and aspirations expose our sincere desires and what we value most.

We are doing something wrong when Christ becomes secondary to our mortal goals and aspirations. Do not demote god or allow selfish, worldly desires to trump his goodness. And when you do fall short or are approached by failure to succeed in your desires, don’t give up. Bring your desires to the Lord and lean on his strength. Don’t allow fear to paralyze your faith.

So I hope you internalize this-DO NOT CHEAT YOUR SPIRIT. Chase after celestial and righteous desires because only then will you experience a heavenly rest.

Today i’m inviting all who are willing to- go against your nature and be grateful for suffering. God doesn’t condemn you with your trials, instead he’s calling you higher. he wants you to RISE.

I believe joy, contentment and peace can coexist even in times of suffering.

The way you react to suffering proves a lot about your character!!!! In the act of avoiding pain and suffering you’re causing more heartache. In your suffering, replace resentment with humility and look DEEPLY for the good!! don’t procrastinate your healing!! “You can overcome a trial, the MOMENT you decide upon it”-Jimmy Baca

A way we prolong our suffering is when we dismiss christ, and that brings more pain! So rise up from your heartache and suffering. The sooner you invite god in, the sooner you can overcome that suffering.

Every year I feel like a new person and creature of spirit as I celebrate another year around the sun. And I think that is what this life was designed to be, one of constant change and growth!! I'm grateful for my belief and knowledge of progression. It’s a beautiful mindset to know that I don’t need to be complacent with where I’m at but I can take every day as an opportunity to see what truths I need to learn in order to be refined into a new character. Tune in to today's episode as I dive into and explain all the truths God has placed upon my heart in my 22nd year of life. They are heavy and beautiful and so raw, I hope you will enjoy them! And even better I hope you will learn something new that will refine your character!
