Yielding & What It's Done For Me

Hey Family!!!!

More than ever I have been taking the necessary steps to make sure that I am hearing from God. More than ever I have been making sure that I am being obedient in my life. More than ever I have been making sure that I am yielding to the Holy Spirit and being used in all the things I do whether it's writing, creating, speaking, loving, or simply lending a helping hand. I want to make sure that God personally knows more than ever how much I love and appreciate Him.

Lately, I have been challenged more especially in areas where I knew I needed growth in. Finding and figuring out my way is important to the lifestyle that I have chose to live. Not sacrificing for what I believe is a complete hinderance to the people I am suppose to help and at what point do we stop thinking about ourselves and start walking in the spirit of serving ?

There are times where the tugging of my heart and the burning in my belly is too overwhelming to sit back and let nothing be said or done. The Lord knows I don't like speaking into people lives because there is always a sense of doubt that maybe or maybe not they will recieve it. That has always been a dilemma with me, God is so good though, every time I have done it, it has been well received and needed. Yielding to the Holy Spirit has been the most empowering thing I have ever been apart of. It's a great way to help others and be a blessing  to the world.

Here are a five things that Yielding to the Holy Spirit taught me:

1. Lives are changed: Surrendering to the Holy Spirit allows us to be a blessing to others and be the voice of God.

2. Getting to know who God is: surrendering allows us to know how God feels about us outside of the Bible. He proves himself and teaches us His heart, ways, and the way He thinks.

3. Love: Yielding teaches us how to love like the Lord does and care for our neighbors as the Lord does.

4. Opening up my heart: speaking as God does or serving as He does is the perfect way to truly open our hearts and conquer our selfishness.

5. Becoming bold: this is my absolutely favorite thing as I deepen my walk in Christ. Moving away from the shy, timid, quiet girl I use to be and enter into the bold woman of God I was called to be.

This list encourages my obedience and makes me want to go deeper to make sure that God is pleased and His people are getting served. For the bible says in 1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms". It then deepens in verse 11, saying "If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ, To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen." 

This only confirms even more, as I yield to the Holy Spirit, God's unmatching strength takes over and allows His power to saturate us. This move of God then takes over and uses us in more ways then we could ever imagine. Whether it's prophesying to someone, encouraging them, getting them a much needed bible verse or scripture, the yielding and act of obedience is so worth it.

So family today, I encourage you more than ever. YIELD TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, surrendering yourself more the ever will show you a different side of yourself and God that you would've never imagined.

May you all be blessed!! I pray that God deepens our revelations of who He is and allows us to walk into exactly who He called us to be. 

Today mediate on 1 Peter 4: 10-11, also pray on the our ability to yield to the Holy Spirit more then ever but also revelations from above.

Dating The Right Way?

Hey, My Beautiful Family!!!

Lately I have been experiencing some interesting things when it comes to "dating" or "getting to know" someone. It's like if guys aren't intimidated to talk to me, they are making assumptions on the kind of woman I am and where my values lay, or they under underestimate my standards maybe because I have a sweet, welcoming face. I don't say that as a bad thing, I just think that if you don't have any teeth in your mouth your approach should be minimal or you should find a way to fill me out before going in for the kill, but that's either here or there!

Though, I don't judge the extent others have been blessed physically. I do judge how you take care of yourself because at some point we got to the point where teeth didn't matter and I have to say that this is a problem sir. I am probably one of the simplest people someone can date. I don't ask for much but for us to truly be best friends and for you to keep your word AT ALL TIMES. If you say you will love me forever, that's exactly what I expect. Though maybe that's a lack on my terms, because in reality I don't even know if that's enough. Maybe me asking for too little opens that door for so many things to come in, "the list" of a relationship is what keeps the relationship in check and as soon as one of those things are jeopardized its fair game to throw the towel in. I don't think like that and maybe my need for openness hinders the strictness guys need.

When did relationships become so complicated?
Before we even get a chance to say "Hello", we are a challenged and flooded with superficial appearances and societal goals. Everyone has an opinion on what we need in a mate and who we look good with, not knowing the daily struggle to simply be sweet to each other. Though, we hold it together for the sake of "the church". God allows us to have free will, so I ask does your free will focus on happiness, growth, and God or your attempt to make God happy? (email me if this confuses you). God doesn't need your approval to be happy nor does He need you to be looking over your shoulder with the hopes of making Him smile knowing you are miserable. Which opens a whole other line of sin that I can talk about in different post.

See me, I am HAPPILY single and ACTIVELY preparing for marriage, there is no rush but I can't help to think does my desire to get married overshadows my desire to be in a Godly relationship. We must understand that even the slightest approval/disapproval from our parents, friends, and even society takes us out of the will of God. Does your relationship glorify God or what your parents want for you? Our we truly taking the time to ask God what we need in a helpmeet? Do we even know our Godly purpose to even be asking for a purpose partner?

Family, stop letting people regulate with God has for you by putting their opinions before God. We must be extremely eager to seek His face and voice over that of others who may love us but didn't create us. We must be fearless when it comes to walking into things that are ordained for us. Today, I pray that we can be honest with ourselves that though they may physically meet the requirements do they match them spiritually. I pray that we are checking our God list twice not only for what they do in the church but what they can do for us personally. Our helpmeets does not sleep with our parents, friends, or family....What are you doing to secure your future?

Today ask God to simply reveal and mediate on what He wants!

Lets us Pray: Father God, we just want to thank you! Thank You for our helpmeets and thank you for allowing us to be helpmeets. Though at times society and the people around us affect the way we view things, thank You for guiding us back to where we need to be. Thank You for loving us enough to send us help even though we make things seem more difficult than they actually are, Thank you for the relationships that have and will end, grow, and even be mended because you see fit and not because it's in our hands. Lord we give all things back to You. Love you more than everything, I pray that a surrender happens so that nothing is affected when it comes to the things that You want form us. Amen.

PT1-My First Think Test Blog: Doing the right thing?

FAM!!! Hey Family!!!!!!

I NEED YOU TO TALK TO ME ON THIS POST

I need this release on today. This pass weekend has been hectic!!!, but beyond any words can express I am so grateful for everyone that reach out to me in text, social media, or physically showing up to celebrate the legendancy of my father. For this time has been EXTREMELY emotional but through the grace of God emotions or having peace wasn't an issue. People I haven't seen in years and ones I just met showed support for my family and I am beyond grateful for it.

Let us pray:

Father God, You are a Healer. You provide a peace in the midst of the storm that no one could truly ever understand but yet, we are so grateful for it.  The love You have for us speaks volumes through the situations we go through, but aren't mentally or emotionally affected by and for that I thank You. Thank You for being out rock that we can lean on, thank You for being so big and mighty that You are handling all things while we worry about nothing, thank You for being the Most High and showering us with blessings, protection, love, faithfulness, and Your presence at all times for our continuous growth in all things of You. Thank You, we love you more than anything. Amen.

Doing the right thing can seem impossible at times so we make sure that we destruct more then we build, we tear down, ruin, and destroy things and people that we never intended to. I feel it's all a reflection of who we are in the season we are in. They say "hurt people, hurt people" and though I know that as a fact I doubt we take the time to fully support the people we love. Should we hold ourselves accountable for our loves ones?  We want to live in awe everyday of the glorious desires of our hearts. We want God to show up and show out in our lives but is it our responsibility to hold our brother and sisters burdens? To help them through? To hold their hand? Is praying enough? because prayer without works is dead. 

Personally, I don't think so. I feel that I am not big enough or powerful enough to hold my burdens and the burdens of the people around me. I can't be held accountable for someone else's journey because I can barely get through mine. I barely can hold myself up with scriptures and His word with continuous remainders of who He is daily. THIS JOURNEY IS HARD!! Christians have to wake up daily and put on the full armor of God, we are already held to higher standards to "do the right thing". It's an expectation that is set up for us that,because we are who we are and follow who we follow we are EXPECTED to act a certain way. The most hurtful thing is that when we don't it's an attack on Christ and not an attack our personal character of being a human. It's literally Jesus on the cross for us all over again. Him being crucified and not us,the sinners the ones who have free will and chose to do whatever we want.

So I ask again, should we be held accountable for our brothers and sisters? Should DAILY we be pouring into them? Saving them from themselves? or even helping them out of things that are harmful to their God given character and talents. We do have on the full armor of God right?

Think about this if you say no like I did, do you really love Jesus? because you would prefer Him get crucified all over again for this world because you don't want to step in and help your brothers and sisters? Do you think that you being a reflection of the divine connections God has provided is a reflection of you and Jesus? Do you care about the soul, salvation, and spiritual growth of those around you? How spiritually strong are your prayer warriors? 

MEDIATE, Respond, and see what part 2 will bring.

Worried Soul, Saves Souls

Great Day Family!!

I apologize for the distance of last week and not posting. Here it is, a week before the actually blog is supposed to drop and God has placed this on my heart. A little deeper than I intended for this week but my Earthly Father passed away so I think this post will be very relevant of my state of grief on this actual day, week, and month.

The day my dad was found dead, I only thought about one thing. 

Lord save his soul! Lord SAVE his soul...LORD SAVE HIS SOUL!!!

I need to know that one day I will be able to see and greet him again. I need to know that the pain of my heart and the grief that comes over me from the condition of living, behavior, and destruction could have a happy ending. This feeling has to be a mere representation of the outside world, that God didn't place on our lives but is a pure example of why we should stay in His will. His will keeps us from the hurt, chaos, pain, disappointment, sadness, confusion, and lust that is meant to break us and keep us apart of the enemy's army. God wants us to be bolder and better than that, His will is the light and the one thing that's keeping us. This is exactly why I chose to get baptized (April 2nd), I wanted to make a worldly gesture that displayed my complete love for Christ and where my heart is. I wanted to take responsibility in my new lifestyle. I chose to make a firm decision to hold myself accountable for what God is doing with me when it comes to personal accomplishments, leading others to Christ, and ministry. I can no longer run, I was made for this. I was born a Christian and God has mandated me for a specific purpose. 

I thought it was very important that I released myself for several days in prayer and cry out specifically for my dads soul. It was like the older I got the less I knew who he was and where he turned to for salvation and healing in the world, I refused to let him suffer. I interceded for hours. I wanted God to hear from me personally and wanted him (my dad) to be accounted for. 
The best love you can give someone is pure worship and prayer, I was not letting up until my whole heart was on the table and I was exhausted. I went into a spirit outcry with a hard spiritual sleep behind it to make sure I would be replenished, he deserved it.

I write this not to brag about my love for Gods people but as an urgency to cry out for the people you love. Daily we get caught in the world of self and selfishness. We ignore important things of life, like people and forget that daily we actually die in the world but with and through Christ we can live. Cry out for the people who you never want to be without, your enemies, and neighbors, believe above all things that the most important thing is to know where you are going after your soul leaves the flesh on this Earth. I don't know about you but I have realized that there is a certain peace you have when you know exactly where your love one is going. 

YES! I am concerned. 

As a woman of God, it is my duty to make sure I had peace with the lost of a life because I can no longer watch and pray for your flesh. I had to go deeper, tap into the spiritual realm and pray over a spirit for eternal life in the Kingdom. I didn't even know I had the power to do that.

It was midday March 18th, I received a message from one of my divine sisters. She expressed the need to reach out to me due to the leading of God to relay a message. She gave me 2 Corinthians 2:5-11 and 1 Corinthians 10:12-13.  I immediately started asking God to reveal to me what the message meant. I truly believe God's people and word. I knew it was intended for me because she wouldn't speak out unless God appointed it specifically for me. March 23rd, we had found out my  dad passed I was in pure shock and confusion. I don't do too well with death, I knew I had to go into prayer. God reminded me of the scriptures she sent, 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 NLT says "If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful, He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure."

That entire day, I took more than a "normal" human could stand, there was so much confusion. drama, and emotions going on that I couldn't even fix my mind to truly comprehend what actually happened. I NEEDED A DRINK! My alcoholic coverage that kept me sane and calm...everyone else was doing it. BUT GOD!!!! The scripture relieved me from all things I thought I needed to maintain my mindset. I didn't get angry, irrationally emotional, or even drunk. I PRAYED!!!! I allowed God to come through on His promise and give me a way out by keeping me close to Him and allowing Him to reveal and shift the atmosphere according to what I could handle. He did just that. I am no longer a slave to the things that kept me in sin, God made a way. 

As I prayed and allowed things to soak in, the Holy Spirit spoke "Pray for his soul". I stood there concerned about His soul but didn't think I was capable of having the power behind me to send someone to Heaven. I was obedient and prayed like never before. 2 Corinthians 2:5-11 NLT says "I am not overstating it when I say that the man who caused all the trouble, hurt all of you more than he hurt me. Most of you opposed him, and that was punishment enough. Now, however, it is time to forgive and comfort him. Otherwise, he may be overcome by discouragement. So I urge you now to reaffirm your love for him. I wrote to you as I did to test you and see if you would fully comply to my instructions. When you forgive  this man, I forgive him, too. And when I forgive whatever needs to be forgiven, I do so with Christ's authority for your benefit, so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes." 

The scriptures speaks volumes in itself. God allowed me to know I had the power to save a soul through the release of forgiveness off of my tongue. He revealed that I will be able to see him, greet him, and have a happily ever after, after all. For I have beat the evilness of the world with forgiveness through Christ and loved him through the hurt that was caused upon the family. I had the desire to make sure my dad rested in peace in the Kingdom and God confirmed just that. He gave me clear instructions and I no longer have to wander if God had mercy on him or not. He has been saved.

Concern for the people we love is very important because we truly don't know what they go through daily and in their inner battles. We all tend to cover up the truth from time to time and though that is fine, the cover up tends to build a wall around us which distances us from truly knowing, helping, and loving each other. 

💛What does the Bible say about caring for each other?

• Philippians 2:4 NIV "not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
• Galatians 6:2 NIV "Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ"
• Romans 12:10 NIV "Be devoted to one another in love, Honor one another above yourselves"
• Galatians 6:10 NIV "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers"  

 I believe it's time to start putting love before all things. Forgiveness, care, prayer, love, concern are all keys to making more of an effort to press ourselves and others into the Kingdom of God. As worried souls we have the unspoken ability to save souls!! 

Let us pray:

Almighty King, we come to You in desperate need of a release to the stronghold of unforgiveness and selfish thoughts of self. We place these ungodly things at Your feet and recieve all Godly things you have intended for us to have. FATHER WE WANT TO SAVE SOULS!! Give us the desire of our hearts to bring your people closer to You, the Kingdom, and each other. We want you more then anything, continue to reveal Your heart to us so we can be the best servants on Earth. Lord thank you for the work of our hearts, hands, and feet. Thank you for the release that's about to happen and bodies that received something from this word. Father, we worship Your name, We love You more then anything. Amen.

May you all be blessed!! I pray that God leads hearts of concern for His people. I pray that we become closer as we draw near to Him for the concern of His people. I pray that as we have a genuine concern for His children our worried souls shall save souls, while His mercy and faithfulness reigns forever.

Today mediate on 1 Corinthians 10:12-13, 2 Corinthians 2:5-11, Philippians 2:4, Galatians 6: 2 & 10, and Romans 12:10.

In Loving Memory of My Father, May God Allow You To Reside Peacefully In The Amazing Space of Heaven Gates

Who Run The World....WOG!!!!

Happy Wednesday Queens!!!!

As I sit on my bed, I had a slight thought that I am truly dope! 😂 I have to be so apologetic about it because I don't want anyone to think I am vain but it's just the confidence God has given me to be a woman I thought I could never be. In my previous blog, I think I hint on how God had given me a vision about myself when I was like 12 years old. I would go into details but that's for my book😏. Though, this vision was to set the tone for exactly where I am supposed to be I used it as an opportunity for my personal advancement. It didn't work out in my favor but I am still here becoming her. Better late than never, right?  

Lets us pray:

Heavenly Father, our Savior, our King. We love you more than anything. Father I ask that you utilize me, make my ways, ideas, heart more like yours. As I go forth on today allow me to reach some women that really needed to hear from You. Allow a certain freshness and understanding to take over hearts and allow them to know how they are supposed to be defined in You. We appreciate You and love hearing Your word. To God be the glory who gets all the honor and praise. Amen. 

Sisters, I am just going to have real talk today, forgive me kinda. So often we let people dim the light we have been given through the grace of God because of our inability to truly love who we are as women. Emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, we become inferior to other women and especially men because of our insecurities, battles with worth, and lack of trust in God. As we watch others and see them get their way, start their business or ministry, we attack our wonderful Father with "why's?". Why is that? do we not trust Him, do we not depend on Him, do we not love Him like we say we do? We become so affected by a lane that's not ours, when God says I have a bigger, better lane for you. I have a bigger following for you, I have more business minded people I need you to run into, and I need your pride check, ego hidden, and your vision focused on me before I do any shift in your life BUT IT'S COMING!!!!!!.....Am I talking to somebody?

Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know thoughts I think towards you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." THIS IS A PROMISE FROM THE LORD, HE SPOKE IT!!! Our God is not a liar and He does not do evil. HE CAN NOT LIE!!! Sis, do you trust Him and His ways? Do you believe the thoughts He has about you? Take God at His word. Believe His purpose on your life, have faith that He will produce, have hope in His undying ways, we serve that EXACT same God today that David served in the battle with Goliath. God wants us to have an unwavering faith. A faith and trust so rooted in Him, you can't be shifted by what people say about you or how the world views you because your purpose is dedicated to Him and all for the Kingdom.

You say; "But Shay, everyone is doing what God told me to do, now I am just lost and really don't think I should pursue it." SISTER, know that a field, area of career, space of ministry can not be saturated if God ordained you to do it. LET HIS WILL BE DONE!!! Luke 12:31 encourages us to seek that Kingdom above all else and He will give you everything you need. He is our provider, our Jehovah Jireh. He knows our needs and loves to provide for His people after His heart. Psalms 84: 11-12 says "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!" TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD!!

Here are 6 ways you can put God first and be the Woman of God you are intended to be;

1. Read The Bible: Stay in the word. Reading the bible allows you to understand that what God says about you. He is a very particular God and particular about His people. The Bible is a really detailed guide through life and God speaks through it in many ways.

2. Stay PRAYED up!! Pray, Pray, Pray, PRAY!!!! Stay in constant prayer with God He wants to hear from Him. He loves hearing your voice and desires to hear your cries. Talk to Him. How do you have a relationship without communication?

3. Fast, eliminate some things in your life. God wants to show you only need Him. Fasting will gain discernment in hearing His voice. This also builds intimacy with God and increases faith.

4. Get Quiet and Worship, Praise, Mediate are ways to go deeper with God. Welcome His presence and just allow Him to dwell. Don't speak, don't ask for anything just sit and be quiet. Close your eyes and dedicate that time to Him with a focus on the Kingdom. Let Him speak to you.

5. Journal. Dedicate sometime to just sit and say "Hey Father/Dad", "Heavenly Father". Pour yourself on to Him and know He hears all (El Shama).

6. GET Convenant Sisters and make divine connections. This was the best step I have ever made! By just allowing other women of God to hold me accountable for who I am called to be. My sisters cover each other all the time and I am so grateful to God for placing powerful women in my life.

Hey! Woman of God, YOU RUN THE WORLD! Allow this to be the guide you use to head out into the world full force. Allow God to provide and guide, while you form into the amazing vessel you were called to be. Eliminate distractions, negativity, and get rid of things that are not conducive to your calling. You are a  piece of God's property and You are called deeper than any business or ministry started. Remember it takes only a few weeks for adorable puppies to be birthed but 2 years for the perfection of an  amazing exotic elephant to be admired into this world. You are an elephant Queen!!!


May you all be blessed!! I pray that God allows us to go deeper in Him. That we take Him at His word and we are not shaken or shifted by what is presented at this time. I pray that we understand it takes time for perfection to be made and though we our not perfect we are perfect because of who He is. Who Runs this??!....Yes Woman of God you do!!

Today meditate on Jeremiah 29:11, Luke 12:31, Psalms 84:11-12

💛Happy First Week Of Spring🌻🌻🌷🌸🌺🌹

Just Figuring it Out

Hey. 😑 (I have an attitude... lol)

So Queens, I am literally on here every Wednesday promoting and encouraging y'all in the Lord. But can I complain today. Every week I make the cautious decision to get extremely quiet and sit at the feet of Christ, not just for myself but literally for all of you!! Though, I will NEVER EVER complain about helping people in their walk. It's just at times.....I simply don't feel like it! 

CATS OUT THE BAG!!!! 
It's something about reveal these cats I have in this imaginary bag that gives me life. "REVEAL THESE CATS Shay!!!" *swings royal sword*....this is me amping myself up to be honest with y'all. (😂😆😭) Hey, this is what I have come to. Just being completely real and honest with myself. I don't know about y'all but I use to lie sooo much too myself, like that time I was going through puberty and constantly called myself cute. When I should have been saying eventually I be cute, one day maybe.*pats 12 year old self on the head*. Though today with confidence, I can say she (I) has arrived!!! Yasssss *ghetto girl voice and hand claps*

Or what about that time, I use to say I loved drinking alcohol, had no explanation for  it was just what was expected from me, coming from the long line of alcohol abuse within my family. Owh, it was this other time when I thought I enjoyed smoking hookah but I HATED IT and my friends use to make me go EVERY WEEK, literally!! Like, this is one of the things that makes me feel sooooo stupid because what is the purpose of hookah? and why is it legal to sit in a room filled with a bunch of strangers and water smoke while smoking water? Things we will never know *ques twilight zone theme music* 
The thing is after a while I just stopped, so I just started going with zero expectation of smoking but all expectations to help pay...I know I am an amazing friend. Though, I don't get it (😹😹, this took myself out at water smoke) 

These are the things I now have to face up to and I'm okay with that because GOD!! *praise break* 
I guess y'all are wondering what do I actually have to complain about. LIFEEEEEEEE and the downs!! Makes you want to give up. This whole week I have been thinking that maybe, just maybe....it's not worth it. Honestly, I don't truly know what I mean when I say that I just said it. It's like I put so much into life at 25 years old is fruit being released from the seeds I have been planting? This is not about anyone else's journey or being somewhere I thought I would be at 25. It's just as simple as am I producing fruit in my life and for the people around me? Am I truly a reflection of Christ? and how can people tell I'm His when I walk into a room?

Lately, I have been so wrapped up in other things I haven't had the chance to consider the answer. I have been in a daze and placing people before myself. The other day, I exhausted myself because I wanted to make sure this individual was comfortable and had everything they needed. They were in a frenzy and overwhelmed, I played the "cool/collected" role and reassured them that everything was handled. While this person was frustrated and upset. I thanked God for the spirit of just "figuring it out".

Proverbs 14:29 says "He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly". Even though I may have some things I don't have figured out. I am just overly thankful for the patience God has granted me. My ability for self control has been the gateway to my understanding to life. Getting upset, only causes you to be upset. Your focus on how mad you are stops your ability to take action or it delays your reaction and can cause a irrational response. STAY FOCUSED!!

Proverbs 14:33 says "Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known." Patiences heightens understanding, which increases your wisdom. If I didn't have the spirit of patience nothing would be done right. If I didn't have understanding I would always need to know why I am doing something. If I didn't have wisdom I would question why all this makes sense.

Sis, I got so caught up in questioning my ability to produce fruit, I was missing the fruit God had been giving me to share. We must, especially myself, get out of the habit of thinking that our lives are ever going to be what we want rather than what God wants. In my mist of doubt and questioning God allowed me to minister to myself. I can get so overwhelmed when He speaks to me because it's so powerful but placing that on my heart to just be thankful for figuring it out blessed me. We have time to figure it out, God is not on a time stamp so however long it takes, it will take. 

Lets Us Pray:

Most High Heavenly Father, we thank You for the spirit of figuring it out. I pray that patience, understanding, and wisdom is install in all of Your children on today. I pray over increase of time and patience to go the course until You reveal. I pray that our eyes are focus on You, our feet are following You, and Your light shines bright in our dark journey. Allow no one to be distracted or discouraged Father and if so, You quickly intercede to release them from any hold. Father, we want to do all things for the Kingdom allow our frustrations to be casted at Your feet as we pursue all things with positivity. Let our response be yes before You even ask use to do anything. You get all the glory, honor, and praise. Let Your will be done! In Jesus name. Amen.

May you all be blessed!! I pray that God allows us all to increase our patience, wisdom, and understanding. As we seek the Kingdom and God, just allow things to be revealed about yourself. EMBRACE the change, gain, conviction, and heartbreak it's all in your ability to produce the fruit God is calling you to share.

#iDecided

If you know me, you would have looked at the title and thought that this post was about Big Sean's new album. That just maybe I have taken the time to listen to it (I will listen eventually 😩) and get the encouragement to be influenced but NOPE, God dropped this in my spirit last night. He told me to tell my story, one thing people don't understand is going to Christ is a decision. This decision is made personally and is understood, that we need Him more than we could ever truly understand. While also understanding dwelling in His presences is a commitment we make DAILY as me take the proper steps to be like Him!!!

Let us pray:

My amazing Heavenly Father, we love you so much. You are everything to us, all we are and all we have. We give our all to you. Father as we surrender ourselves to you at this very moment I pray that Your words shines out and people are touched by You and not what I have to say. I pray that You overshadow everything and Your glory is more understood than my testimony. Father I thank You for just being You. You are the source of all things and make our desire to treat you as such deepen. We love You more then anything that once had our attention, I ask that as we cast our distractions at Your feet You loose them from us and give us a continuous desire to flee from these things. Spirit of God fall fresh on us we need Your presence!! Fill our hearts with Your love daily. Father, we lift up your name. All who loves the Lord says. Amen!   

After that post last week about my grandmother, I was truly nervous about this one. How in the world could I follow backup with greatest after that woman ooze great, but I had to understand it isn't a competition. When God had placed #iDecided on my heart the carnal girl in me (not on surface, DEEP down in me...I really did give my life over 😏😆) told Him I didn't listen to Big Sean's album because I was fasting and didn't have time in the next two days or such. LISTEN!!!! God is really still working on me (😂), don't judge me judge yourself because I was really confused as well. How is God keeping my mind and gone send me into a battle where I'm taken back to my roots of being a "hustler" and "grinder". Side story: I am from the hood but I use to be a thug/ gangster girl in my head. Believe me though my mother CONSTANTLY reminded me I wasn't about that life. Reason why I am obsessed with my headphones she NEVER let me listen to rap out loud or the very ignorant levels I chose but that neither here or there (😂😂😅😆).

So I'm in a bit of pickle trying to understand what the Lord is talking about. He then reminded me of this weekend with my friends. 

February 27th was my birthday though my group of long distance sisters from college (The FAB 5) DECIDED to clear their schedules to fly in from Texas, drive in from Flint and Illinois, and step away from prior engagements to be with me, though they didn't have to. During our girl talk, God reminded me of the shift He had spoke about at the beginning of the year. He says "This is where it starts", I immediately started crying (I have never cried so much in my life until #iDecided to follow Christ😁) I had become so worried when God spoke about the shift because it felt like He was going to do it right away. Little did I know right away was already in the works. So often we get caught up thinking that God is shifting in the natural, we are too selfish to even consider the heavy duty work that is going on in the spiritual realm to protect you from that things that tries to convince you God isn't real or on your side.Though #iDecided to keep going and keep my faith because I take God at His word and trust Him more then anything. 

#iDecided is a reflection of the decisions we make as Christians. It becomes deeper then just confessing that "Jesus is Lord" or repenting for our sins, especially if we don't make the conscience decision to flee from them. I need spiritual fruit to be produce from me, I want to be an asset to His Kingdom, a true servant, instead of always taking without putting anything back. I want my journey to be a reflection of why so many seek Christ because my light is so bright. Psalms 119:105 says "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path", this scriptures always reminds us that when we decide to follow Christ His light becomes our guiding force and it can't be dimmed unless you decide to let it burn out. 

Deciding to follow Christ doesn't start with a complete transformation over night. Once #iDecided to follow I prayed over a pure walk, pure heart, pure worship, especially after so many "play" church. I wasn't from a church going family so I didn't want to pretend that I had been there. I wanted the presence of God to dwell not because what I wore or what I said/how I said it but because of my worship, prayers, and how I treated His people. I want my purity for God to shine even on my worse days and through my hard time. I want people to understand that deciding to live a Christian life is knowing your Father and understanding His plans for you. Everyone is different and can't handle your battle. 

While mediating on #iDecided, God gave me Hebrews 12. I am reading over and over again. Sis, know that because you decided to follow Christ. God is going to take you through somethings but you shall not give up because its proof that He loves you. When #iDecided to follow Christ I lost everything, but I remembered where I had came from and that I could have really been in hell. God gave me that strength and peace I needed to understand that I had to go through because my walk/journey isn't about me! It's about getting people saved and understanding the fruits of labor when you walk in the purpose and destiny of God.

Know that God loves you despite any and everything you think He will deny you for. Today, #iDecided to continuously give myself away so that God can use me in every second, minute, hour of each day. I challenge you to do that same thing. Open your bible to know how God really feels about you, how He wants to use you, and the riches He gives when you allow Him to reign over your life.

May you all be blessed!! I pray that God leads hearts. That because #iDecided little ole me from the eastside of Detroit, no spiritual background, no spiritual fruit being sown into me as a child by my parents, just my love for God is enough at this very moment. That I am able to grow, teach, and encourage in the word to unbelievers. I pray that you reading this find boldness in yourself to decide to truly live for God, spread your testimonies, and become fearless in Christ so we will all be able to say HASHTAG iDecided!!! Decide to me made new.

Today mediate on Hebrews 12 (Entire), Psalms 119:105 pray over your process to deciding

Maybe ISSA Healing?

🌻Every morning I wake up, my first thoughts are with you & God. 3 years later and I still try to make sense out of it. Maybe, just maybe if I listen a little harder or sleep a little deeper that I will be able to hear the cane metal click from your soft walks or the dragged out creaking the bathroom door makes as you delicately shut it. Maybe, just maybe if I lay still a little longer or close my eyes to mediate a little tighter I will be able to hear the slight clearing of your voice to get out a simple "Hello". That maybe if I had the strength I could get up to get you a glass of water and make you a quick breakfast to get me another 30 mins of shut eye. MAYBE.

🌻Maybe, just maybe. This could be another day, where my focus is on you & not myself. That you are clean, hair done, and dressed. That you are fed, filled with liquids, and have your meds. That you are comfortable, warm, and had rest. Maybe, today won't be too hard & you don't have to ask if I'm tired and insist that I take a nap so you can have your Shay back. MAYBE.

🌻Maybe, I could finish rushing my life to make sure you were apart of it. That, just maybe death would be so far and the memories could flow, just to hear you were proud and tell me stand strong. Maybe, if I zone out enough I could hear one of your "old" sayings and hear you hum your favorite hymns. MAYBE!

🌻Maybe, if I sit in the dark a little longer and close my eyes full of tears I would be able to see you "ow" and "aw" over every meal with a special wink for my sweet potato pies. That you insisted having after your dramatic saying "I'm so full, I could burst." Just MAYBE. If I seen you one more time I would be ok. If I could get some closure, ask for a last hug, and even question you about how you and grandpa feel in love. Maybe, I won't have to wait long because I know you are resting peacefully above.

(Thank You Jesus!🙏🏾)

Let us pray:

Father, I don't know how I will get through this but I ask for Your guidance. That You know my pain and how I cope, You know my heart and how I got through. I pray that today I am able to give someone strength and peace because that's exactly what You have given me. I pray that the unconditional love and light you have given me, oozes out of my pores and lands upon Your people. I pray that you come forth even more as El Mauz (God my strength), El Shama (God who hears), Jehovah Rapha (The Lord who heals), and Jehovah Shalom (the Lord of peace). My whole heart is surrendered to You for Your purpose, use me. Though this will hurt, use me. Though my eyes are full of tears and my heartaches, use me. There is nothing I want more but to be used for Your glory. Father, I love you more then anything and love your people just as You would. Thank You for this opportunity. May we all be at peace at the end of this read. You get all the glory. Amen 🙏🏾.

Talking to Heaven: 

I wanted to dedicate my blog to you, Mrs. Bessie. I want everything that I feel important to have light shined on it and you are the light itself. You are the foundation, creator, and force in itself. You didn't show love you are love. You didn't take no mess or played with it. You are elegance, class, and feminine a true definition of a woman. God fearing, motivational, and the best of spirits, You were unmatched when it came to caring for all. Nothing got past you and for that I dedicated a piece of my life to you. Thank you for being a grandmother. Thank you for being you and continuously showing love. 

In 2014, I lost my grandmother. I was devastated, young 22 year old that couldn't wrap her finger around losing someone close. Someone so influential and legendary, just gone with no true explanation than old age and a failing heart. Decisions had to be made, her body could no longer hold the pain she was feeling and she didn't deserve long suffering due to our selfish ability to just want her around. For long over 70 years, her and my grandfather built a foundation that celebrated love and family, though I am extremely positive that their was family drama it was never on display as an act of covering up but act of respect for the royalty of matriarch and patriarch that reflected off of them. 

I guess, this blog is a reflection of Gods glory to place a praying woman as the head of household. A woman that lost her husband 13 years before she passed and never felt the need to remarry but wore her wedding ring until it got too big and placed it on her necklace closer to her heart. A true Proverbs 31 woman, with a spirit of Mary from Bethany. I wanted to be just like her, I want to be just like her. That even on her death bed, she still worshipped Christ until her last breath. Though, she was a beautiful example of God's favor, I still didn't understand. It took years for me not to be angry and made it hard for me to look at her picture. People didn't understand the ability to hold on nor cared about the level my of hurt. Nobody wanted to talk about it. I had nobody, I had nobody....

I 

HAD

NOBODY😭🙈😔😞

Nobody let me cry on their shoulder, so I took matters into my own hands. I hated the world and I was in so much pain. Have you ever been truly heart broken? The kind of heartache that hurts so bad it feels like a heart attack. I spent weeks in darkness and no one noticed. I cried for weeks but no one cared. I was in so much pain, I knew 2014 was my last year here on Earth and I became at peace with that. The night I was ready to give up was the night I had an encounter with Christ (so much more to the story). The next day I woke up in newness, the air was fresh, I had no desire to drink, I had no pain, all I wanted to do was get dressed and enjoy my day. I was happy? How? I literally just wanted to die hours before. I looked in the mirror and I looked new, tears immediately erupted from me. How could this be? Who could this be? 

The Bible says in Psalms 34:18 "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit". Did God really have so much use for me that my life was valuable enough to save? Was I like King David in Psalms 56:8 "Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll are they not in your record" ” Was God so aware of me that He even collected my tears? 

From that day forward, I had to understand God is involved and aware of our pain, our joys, our failures, and our accomplishments. I understood that He truly was El Roi (God who sees all), He was my connector and source for all of my needs.

Sis, here are 4 ways to overcome heartache:

1. Recognize the pain and understand it is OK to hurt. We all go through hurt but it's not about the pain you endure, it's about how knowledgeable you are about it and overcoming it.

2. Seek the Healer. Seek God as your healer! Just like you tell a doctor your symptoms, tell God how much you were wounded and need His healing touch. He will hear the cries of the broken. God the Father wants to reach down, take your hand, and walk you through your pain. It may take weeks. For many of us it will take years, perhaps even a lifetime to close the wounds of our hearts completely. God will spend as much time and as many years as necessary to help you through it. He wants to gently apply the daily ointment of His Holy Spirit to your heart until your heart is healed. I know this because He has done it with me. When I am down, He lifts me up in many different ways. He is there for me to cry on His shoulder, so to speak, and then sends His encouraging Spirit to get me back up and going again.

3. Reach out to others. My walk has been dedicated to others to not make them feel as I once felt, alone. I know that isolation hurt, to want so bad to have someone around to just listen but want so bad not to be a burden. It's OK to talk it out with someone, swap stories, hug, it's all needed and apart of the healing process. Holding your feelings in only become worse and builds up to a breaking point. 

4. Understand HEALING takes time!!! Sister, take as much time as you need. It's YOUR hurt, you have to deal with it, don't let anyone make you feel that your hurt isn't important. Ignore everyone's ability to make you feel like it's been days, weeks, or years and you are supposed to be over it. Don't allow anymore to control how you heal, it's your pain, as long as you can take it to God you are in the healing process and I am proud of you. Always remember Psalms 147:3 says "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Trust His Word!

So I close this out in complete dedication to My grandmother Bessie Elise Cobb Reese, Happy 100th Birthday my beautiful redhead Queen. May you continue to rest in peace and be my angel. May you continue to personally watch after me and enjoy Heaven with grandpa. May your legacy continue to reside in us as we live daily. May you always be an example for generations to come. May we live out your graciousness and be held to the womanly standards you have set. I love you to Heaven and back.

Today mediate on Psalms 34:15, Psalms 147:3 , Psalms 56:8 & pray over your healing

Not a Valentine Blog: Being Love Cautious

Welcome BACK Queens!

Excuse me for my thoughts have been all over the place since Saturday but I didn't want to abandon my commitment to the Post so let us pray:

"My amazing, mighty, and loving Heavenly Father. At this moment, I need You like more than ever. I need Your spirit to surround me and Your presence to dwell at this very moment. As I go forward, Lord I speak high peace, a clear mind, and some kind of release from the anointing You have gifted me with. Lord I pray that someone is touched by what You have directed me to say and that it can encourage the ones they share it with. Thank You for Your continuous love, grace, and mercy. Thank You for Your heart and patience with us. Father, Thank You for being perfect for us and  loving us despite the lack of loving ourselves. We love you more than anything, may you continue to bless us especially in our time of need. May we rest in Your presence. Amen."

It's midnight and I am up getting my last minutes thoughts together for this blog. I am going to be completely honest I didn't want to do it! I didn't want to lose sleep, dedicate my time, or even reread a bunch of times. I didn't want to give the energy but I had to rebuke that demon that tried to convince me that I wasn't in the "mood" because I love writing more than anything!! This love dates all the way back when I was a young girl. I don't know what it is about using my imagination and expanding upon it, losing myself in words, and creating stories. Now I get to do it for the Lord, I think I found my dream job(😍). 

Writing for the Lord was something that I could have never imagined doing. I started this blog back in 2011-2012 because I wanted to express myself. I knew I was becoming stressed and angry but didn't know what to do with the emotions, so I started this blog. I had remembered writing was the only thing that kept me calm since I could remember. It was never really about my issues, problems, or things I was going through. I just really love to lose myself in my thoughts and challenge myself to think beyond just telling a simple story but creating a vision that people could lose themselves in. Though, I didn't want anyone to read the blog because I imagined myself going deep and it being just for me. I wanted to talk my mess, cry, be happy, be completely angry but honest and just let it all out but leave it behind. I knew that my writing was deeper than that though, I knew it was my purpose, the start of something bigger than myself.

I found myself constantly wondering how to infuse my love and determining my purpose. They say go back to the basics, tap into your talents, and allow God to reveal to you what your purpose is. I sat up night after night seeking God to reveal to me how I could serve Him with my talents, writing is all I thought about. Now that I am becoming rooted in Him and getting my mind focused on only the things that mattered. I wanted my writing to glorify His name and to be a reflection of His grace in my life. Though, I do believe God will continue to reveal more of my purpose as I grow within Him. I know this is a start to something greater. As I mentioned in my previous post, God has a purpose for all of us. (Exodus 9:16)

The best thing is I can sit here confidently and pour my heart out. Not for anything more but loving on the Lord. This love has brought me into new levels of self-love. Knowing that God's purpose is perfect and just for me. That through my purpose He reveals who I am and who He wants me to be. This self-love deepens for me daily and allows me to not just accept what people want to give me but demanding what I deserve. I use to think that it was normal to settle. That individuals didn't go ALL the way out for the people they love. I know better now. I know that God love sets the standard and anyone that loves Him will love His people as He does. Mark 12:30-31 states "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these"

The Word clearly states that there is nothing greater than the love that we give Him and the people around us. Romans 13:10 says to us that love doesn't harm and throughout 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 tells us exactly what love is and anything outside of that is probably not love. We have to become extremely cautious about the love we give God and each other. I believe focusing on God, building up self love and working within our purpose are key ingredients to the love we pour into the world. Sis, how much do you love yourself? God?

I am not here to tell you what to do and how to do it and maybe this is a stem from Valentine's Day or a rant about so much self damage on social media (in a nice way, of course) but I know that God offers something supernatural and unexplainable. A peace, love, and healing that is mind blowing. Have you tried Him? Like, truly tried Him and His ways?  *ques worship music, for altar call* (Yes, I do play too much🙈 but seriously)

God offers a high anointing something you can't deny and unchanging. You must truly try Him in order to get what He has to offer. I pray that lives are being changed daily and that people are seeing the true grace of God. I pray that purposes within the Kingdom are getting sought after and being revealed. I pray love from God, self love and neighbor love are heighten and become exposed especially for the ones that don't think it exist. May we all be blessed through our separate walks and may our lifestyles be for the glory of the Lord. May we all become love cautious and hold hearts delicately as the Lord holds ours. Be blessed children of God. May His love continue to be the building blocks for the only kind of love that matters.

Today meditate on Exodus 9:16 , Mark 12:30-31, Romans 13:10, & 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
