F.R.O.G. Fully Rely on God

A trademark is born! TOADALLY MEDIA is here! God is good all the time, and he has a sense of humor as well!

I all started in February, when I started asking the Lord, what plans He has for me. As I have waited and listened for His still small voice inside me, He has taken me on a journey I will never forget! The first thing I heard was that the solar yard lights door is closing. It has been a great twelve years of creating, and meeting and sharing with all God's beautiful people at the Farmer's Markets and Craft Shows. If you have known me any length of time, you have seen the solar yard lights that my husband and I  have made for the past decade.

The next nudge I felt, was to build an e-commerce store to put all my jewelry and art projects on. So earlier this month, that door opened. As I have been marketing my store and making a presence for myself on the internet, I felt the Lord whispering in my ear. "Tammy, you can do this for others. You need to think about sharing your expertise in marketing and social media with others." So as I worked on my store, my brand, and my networking on all the social media platforms out there, the light bulb came on.

I know so  many people that are talented, artistic, speakers, writers, bloggers etc., that I really began to sense that the Lord was all over this. So last week, as I contemplated over all the "names" I could call myself as a Social Media Expert in training, it seemed every time I thought of a name, when I did the research, it was already taken! So, I put that on the back burner, and went onto writing up my first contract with my first client.

For some reason the word "FROG" kept coming up in my spirit. I didn't have a clue why, and didn't see a connection yet.

So, yesterday, my friend posts a photo on my face book page of a cute little animated tree frog with sunglasses, with this message: "Positive Mental Attitude.....I'm Positive, I'm Mental, and I know I have Attitude!" She made a comment that it reminded her of me. So I reply, "That's TOADALLY me!" And that's when it hit me.....TOADALLY MEDIA! So now the light bulb has come on, and the bells and whistles are blowing! That's it! I got my name! I messaged my friend privately, explaining all this to her, and she reminded me of the acronym for "FROG".....FULLY RELY ON GOD! By this time, I'm jumping up and down and shouting!

I immediately got on the internet, did the research, and found the name was available!  I then found some free tree frog photos, and began to design my business card. And so, Toadally Media is born! I give all the glory to the Lord.

It just goes to show you, that you can do ALL THINGS through CHRIST who STRENGTHENS YOU! We just need to trust, listen and be thankful! He will make your dreams come to pass, friend!
Won't you give a shout of PRAISE to Him this day, rest and rely on Him, and give Him all the glory? Hallelujah!

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

Are you struggling with sin and obedience today? Or are you trusting what Jesus has done for you on the Cross, and in his death, burial and resurrection? I have good news for you today, my friend!
YOU ARE DEAD TO SIN! That's what the bible says! The bible tells us NOT to let sin reign in your mortal body.....but it also tells us HOW.
In Romans 6, it says to offer yourself as an instrument of righteousness! Not only are we instruments of righteousness, the Word of God says we are SLAVES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. You were once a slave to sin. When Jesus died, your "old man" also died. Anyone who has died, has been set free from sin. It is no longer you that lives, but Christ in you that lives! That's very good news my friend. We are counted righteous because of His gift of righteousness. Not anything that we have done, or can do. We can't add anything to it. He gave us righteousness as a gift! We have been set free from the slavery of sin. You are now a slave of righteousness. Meditate on that for a moment.
YOU ARE A NEW CREATION! Sin is no longer your master. Because of what Jesus did for us, we are no longer under the law, but under grace. We are not obedient because the law says we have to be obedient, but we are obedient because when Jesus died, and gave us the gift of His righteousness, we were so grateful, that we longer wanted to sin against God! And as we allow Him to live and love through us, we change from the inside out. We are ALIVE IN HIM.

God loved us so much that He gave us His one and only Son, to die for us. In our place. He knew we couldn't keep the law in our own strength. So He provided a sacrificial lamb for us. JESUS. Won't you walk in the favor and blessings God meant for us to have today? Won't you trust in the finished work of the Cross today, and thank God for sending His son to be the reconciliation between God and man?
