Discover Who You Are & How to Use It for God



We are all created differently but are all created by the same God. We are unique.  “Younique” is one of those books that helps you understand your identity in God and how to seek His will for your life. Many graphs and charts are in this book that helps to show you and explain your strengths and weaknesses. You learn about why you have certain passions and abilities and how you can apply those to your everyday life. One of my favorite parts is a section that talks about a future. I learned about the difference between “dreaming” and “fantasizing.” I learned that we should be dreaming about where God is taking us, not where we want to take ourselves. I learned that it’s ok to dream for the future, but don’t set those plans in stone.
Overall, if you’re at all curious to discover more about yourself and how you can use the unique traits God has given you to use for His glory, I highly recommend this book.

Teaching The Word, Planting the Seeds: CFBC VBS 2017

Image
Last week I talked about my VBS experience at Gardendale First Baptist Church and talked a little about why I am so passionate about VBS. (So if you haven’t, go check out last weeks post.) Continuing with the VBS posts, this week I want to focus on the second VBS that I got to serve in last month at Cleveland First Baptist Church. Next week I will be talking about lessons learned during VBS 2017. The theme at Cleveland First Baptist was Summer Games 2017: Training with Paul to Become Champions or Christ. Students learned about Paul and his conversion and missionary journeys. Students also learned how important it is to follow God and that He has a plan for us. We as believers are to take the Word across the street and around the world. This was a total unexpected, but pleasant surprise! Within 2 hours of committing to Gardendale’s VBS, I was asked by Pastor Rick if I would like to be the lead teacher for 1 st /2 nd graders at Cleveland’s VBS. I don’t know why, I guess it wa...

Welcome to the "Child of the One True, Undefeated King" Blog

Welcome to my new blog! My name is Noe Chavez and I am a student at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. I attend Gardendale First Baptist Church in the Birmingham area, where I am apart of a college group called SUB25. More importantly, I am a child of the one true, undefeated King! I accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord during Vacation Bible School in 2007. I was baptized in 2013. This blog's purpose is for me to share with you what God is doing in my life, as well as what He teaches me through reading His Word and experiences in life.

Watchword 2017: Opportunity

Image
Opportunity (n): a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something. This year has flown by! I guess it is true that the older you get, the faster times seems to go. I can honestly say that 2017 has been the best year I’ve had. If I could review this entire year of my life, it might turn out to be more of a book than a blog post. I could focus on many things that happened in my life like graduating college, connecting with numerous people in my possible career field, starting school at UAB, meeting Dale Earnhardt Jr., or my many adventures. When I first started attending Gardendale on a weekly basis, one of the first sermons Pastor Kevin preached on was on a watch word. A watch word is a word that God gives you and uses it to grow you throughout the year. I deeply felt the word “opportunity” whispered into my soul. My final post of this year will focus on 3 opportunities that occurred in my life that I didn’t see coming. 1) God Gave Me the Opportunity to Get Connected ...
