These po\"brandy\"<\/a>pular celebrities are reflecting on God in 2017 and using their platform to not only celebrate their love for Jesus, but also share the influence of God in their lives. Jesus has pulled these celebrities through some of life\u2019s biggest storms and they have been moved to spread that message with their fans. Here are six celebrities who have started the New Year reflecting God to their fans.<\/p>\n

Candace Cameron-Bure<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former \u201cFull House\u201d child star is a passionate Christian and enthusiastic about her faith, openly sharing her passion for Jesus with others. The 40-year-old actress who experienced some really great professional opportunities in 2016 is giving all praise to God who she believes has given her blessings far beyond a successful career.<\/p>\n

\u201c2016 was a pretty incredible year for the Bure\u2019s. We had many milestones including my 40th birthday, our 20 year anniversary, Natasha\u2019s 18th birthday and graduation from high school,\u201d She wrote on Instagram. \u201c\u2019Fuller House\u2019 seasons 1 & 2 premiered on Netflix with outrageously high viewership with a season 3 pick up and I co-hosted my last episode on \u2018The View.\u2019 I thank God for all the opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tamera Mowry-Housley<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tamera Mowry-Housley who first gained fame for her teen role as Tamera Campbell on the sitcom Sister, Sister opposite her identical twin Tia Mowry, is learning to trust in the Lord\u2019s timing. The 38-year-old actress who co-hosts the hit daytime talk show \u201cThe Real,\u201d is beginning 2017 with God as her focus. She told her fans on Instagram: \u201cThis year was pretty amazing! Of course each year has its own challenges. But each year I\u2019m learning to trust in the Lord\u2019s timing and His on my life. Can\u2019t wait to see what the next year brings. I\u2019m ready!\u201d<\/p>\n

Romeo Miller<\/strong><\/p>\n

Romeo Miller, the son of rap mogul Master P who created hip-hop music label No Limit Records in the \u201890s, is focusing on God\u2019s peace in 2017. After a 2015 lawsuit from his mother Sonya Miller spilled over into 2016, it is great to see that the rapper, entrepreneur and \u201cEmpire\u201d actor is concentrating on peace and love in the New Year. He wrote on Instagram: \u201cWalking in to 2017 with nothing but peace in my heart.\u201d He took his post a step further by sharing his peace with his fans in the form of Bible study notes, highlighting Romans 5 which addresses three forms of peace: spiritual peace, emotional peace and peace with others.<\/p>\n

Brandy Norwood<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 36-year-old R&B singer is beginning the New Year with a greater understanding of who she is in God. She took to Instagram to share how she understands her God given purpose more and more each day. Despite some pretty tough circumstance, she has turned to God, openly sharing her testimony with her fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been lost, deep in bondage, suicidal and didn\u2019t know how to call on the Most High because I didn\u2019t believe I had the right words to be heard,\u201d she wrote on Instagram. \u201cI\u2019m here now more certain than I have ever been and I have arrived at a true understanding of my purpose, worth, and an unconditional love and compassion for myself. A true God becoming talent that I will only use for my contribution in healing all of myself and all around the world. #2017\u201d
\nPlumb<\/p>\n

Plumb<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year was pretty tough for Christian singer, Plumb who recently lost a key member of her family. Despite last year being difficult for her, the 41-year-old singer has learned a lot from it. She is trusting in God and moving forward with optimism.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a year that started out very uncomfortable and ended with tremendous growth. From that growth came some sadness from some of those things coming to an end\u2026,\u201d Plumb wrote on Instagram. She then captioned an Instagram image that reads \u201cwhat is coming is better than what is gone.\u201d She then wrote, \u201cSo this encouraged me to look forward to what is to come this new year\u2026maybe it will be for you as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christon Gray<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Christian rapper, whose music was everywhere last year from ESPN to HBO, Fox and Honda commercials, has decided to give God complete control over his life. Instead of being focused on charting his own career, Gray has decided in the New Year to allow God to write his story.<\/p>\n

\u201c2016. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,\u201d Gray wrote on Instagram. \u201cBut I\u2019m going to stop trying to write the rest of the story God already wrote. It\u2019s time to watch my own movie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
