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.

Torture To Treasure: God's Way

Beautiful Family back with another one on Today!

I already pre-wrote this and there was an urgency to post so here it is.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father you place this on my heart for some reason allow it to minister to someone in need. Your words and ways are so powerful and I just want them to be a reflection of Your greatness. Let it pierce the hearts and minds of Your people and leave them in awe as You do with me daily. I love You more then anything and always let Your will be done. Amen.

So often we want to give ourselves to Christ but the thought of committing and becoming a “true” Christian is what holds us back.  We can’t physically touch or see this someone that we are encouraged to have a relationship with but, we need it so bad. I will be the first to admit it, SIS, IT AIN’T EASY! Probably the hardest decision you ever make as a woman seeking the Kingdom. We have to make the conscience decision to comprehend on how and where to start. We say we trust God, we believe His words, and love Him but our actions don’t even come close. We expect to have some kind of experience when it comes to being in our Fathers will but are you doing the necessary dying to yourself daily in order to get there?

The bible tells us to keep His commandments and obey Him. Simple instructions, right? Did you grow up like me? Being raised in the world and taught about the “surface” of God but nothing deeper? Were you being dragged to a strict Baptist church every Sunday but didn’t know Jesus? When you got to a certain age did your parents allow you to make the decision of if you want to attend church or not? Did you live in a “spiritual” household with no religious practices?

You did? Girl, ME TOO!

If you were like me and grew up/raised in the world. Becoming committed to God is the hardest thing you can ever do. Though for me, I had formed my own covenant. This is where I ONLY relied on myself and what I had to offer to the world. I wasn’t super selfish and I loved people but it was all surface influenced. I only told people what I wanted them to know, nothing deeper. I had to trust you first like a real test of truth into my world (which still stands kind of…lol).  I was so guarded that my heart was like steel. I didn’t give people the chance to hurt me, so I was mean to you before you could even get to know me. I knew my life was tragic but it was what I was dealt. So, because my life wasn’t perfect and being verbally abused daily is embarrassing to admit, I shut down completely. Honestly, I reflected everything that I grew up in but I didn’t blame anybody. I was used to it, it just became…a thing.

So if anybody knows the “Christian” journey from nothing, I KNOW!!! I was not being taught how to expand into the spirit. There is always a sense of seeking for more. I am constantly wondering am I seeking enough and experiencing the right things. There are always worries of what makes my journey God ordained and who I am to possess so much in His kingdom when I am so tore up. Sis, let me tell you!! I know the hurt, pain, and doubt when it comes to walking the right path.

Are you constantly wondering, what people are thinking of you? ESPECIALLY, when just a few months ago you were turning up on social media with your friends? I understand. As God fearing women, we must remember that Jesus took care of us on the cross. Regardless of what we are going through and the emotional state we are in, picking up our cross and dusting off our crown is work that is never finish. It has to be done DAILY!! It’s a decision to be different, set apart, and not of the norm. It’s a decision to keep God first in all things and we must remember that the fight is continuous.  We can’t let up or become comfortable in our own ways. We can’t trust ourselves and trust that we are doing the work of a Christian without Christ.

The blood of Jesus is what washes us clean and you have to make that commitment daily, that your actions will reflect the significances of His sacrifices. Your eternity is at stake and you want to make sure that paradise is the aim. Sis, aren’t you trying to make it back to Eden? Committing to God only stops you from living your old life, truly committing to God will bring you into new beginnings that will absolutely blow your mind. Trusting God, allows His grace and mercy to work throughout your life. He will not leave you where He found you. You will never have an encounter with God and want to stay in your state of sin and ungodliness, but you have to commit to Him. You have to be faithful to Him and His ways just as He was when He picked you up where you were.  Making the commitment to serve His Kingdom, you will never have to worry about your past ways and the things that tried to break you.

Your salvation is His victory and you have to trust Him through it. Well, you say “Sis, I hear you but how? What can I do? I am completely lost!” I got you sis, I worked through it and I had to simply be alone. I had to let God use me every minute of the day. I had to stay committed by praying ALL THE TIME, literally. When I needed to cry, I did! I got on to my face EVERY SINGLE morning between 6 AM and 7:30 AM to pour my heart out to Him. I stayed up late nights, sometimes didn’t sleep at all, and tried to see His face. I fast for weeks at a time just to get deeper and hear Him. I dedicated everything I did to Him; walks, mediation, relaxation, car drives, and even bath time. There was nothing that I did that didn’t involve me acknowledging Him in it. I ask questions and became accustomed to letting Him truly reveal somethings to me. The blinders came off and I was able to see Him in parts of the world that I thought was just simple in what they were.

He gave Romans 1: 20 another meaning for me, it says “ For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse”. I understood, I was no longer excused for my sin and unrighteous ways for He was revealed to me.

Figuratively, I saw God plain as day and at that point it all made sense.

I was going through a season of isolation. I was extremely lonely but fulfilled in all ways. It was God, He needed me at this point in full surrender to expose me to the real me. He expose my heart, my mind, and my ways always keeping me in check. Installing new things in me I never knew existed.

I fell in love, completely in love. I became obsessed! Now I am seeking more daily, allowing Him to make me into the woman I am destined to be. The woman He needs me to be. A woman who is committed when I am broken, when I don’t know, when it gets hard, and when I beg Him to release me from the hold because it gets too hard. He is making me into a warrior, a complete servant of His kingdom, a Proverbs 31 woman, and I am committed to her and the process she must endure.

Sis, it gets hard almost tragic, but are you willing to remain so committed to God that you are willing to go through torture to get to your treasure?

May we all focus on God's ability to keep us sane. I pray that daily we are able to let go of what was and walk into what is now and no person, thing, or place can run us away from our destiny. I pray that as we a burdened with torture God gives us what we need in to one day soon reign in our treasure.  

Today mediate on Romans 1:20, Proverbs 31, and pray through your torture and allow God to reveal your treasure.

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

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.

Today meditate on Proverbs 14:29, 33. Write down your thoughts and pray.

Sis, You Deserve Better!!!

Another Beautiful Day Queens!!!

Here is a little about me! I am a very observant person. I pay close attention to detail and I don't talk much unless I have something to say. I am a complete goof ball but only if I know you will understand my sense of humor and if not the drawback is five times worse. Like I say, you either get all of me or none of me. I have obviously seen the way people treat you different as you grow and change, some treat you great, others...the people you never expect, treat you like trash. I think being mindful of these actions help us greatly with the people we surround ourselves with in our walks. This action is very critical. 

For me, I am a complete introvert. It's hard for me to make connections with people due to my inability to "attach" myself and be free with people I am just meeting. Which can be viewed, as "stand-off-ish" or "stuck up" but trust and assure I am too goofy to be either of them. Though, I am very picky with whom I give my energy to,  prefer to reserve, my time, intensity, and spirit exclusively to those who reflect sincerity. (Quote from my instagram go follow me...@_lovelyyyybre) 

But I am far from stuck up! It's hard for me to break the barriers of vulnerability and emotions because those are things I never had to deal with in my household, it was more like don't show no emotion. How can that be thrown in your face if you have none? Maybe that's why it's hard for me to date. I need a powerful man, because my ability to not seem vulnerable to a man, is my ability to stand strong in Christ. I don't relay on what man can do for me, for so often it has left me broken & wandering. I have to ask,

💛Still Interested? Know that I will only be weak at the feet of the Lord and not because you say you are manly enough to hold me up but don't seek your strength in God. I am a woman of substance, not fear nor darkness....I have overcome in Christ Jesus. We all deserve relationships that reflect that of the one, yet the most important relationship we will ever have and that's with God!

Why accept anything less than the standard He has set for us? Sis, I am personally telling you, you deserve better. Not just in your romantic relationships but your relationships at home and your friends. You should never struggle with co-workers or even your neighbors, if you reflect Christ-like actions why can't your relationships do that as well? So often we find ourselves at the point of loneliness and just need somebody to be around. So we put up with any and everything to just have company. Oh, that's not you? Maybe you were at a point in your life where you needed somebody and they were "there" for you...but sis, did they serve their purpose yet? or you just holding on? Now it's time for them to be released from their duties. So, that's not you either? What happens when you are suppose to hold on to someone and due to pride and ego you release them from the role they are suppose to play in your life? So, I am hitting home?

See I am not here for conviction, that's God's expertise. I am here to set the tone of the environment that in order to be heart checked you have to be in tuned with the heart checker!! How can you serve and satisfy when you are too distracted by the people that suppose to keep you in check? How can you check and advise when you are connected to people that doesn't have your best interest? Oh! How can you live and learn when you are getting rid of the few people who actually cared about your spiritual growth and well being? HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT GOD WANTS FROM AND FOR YOU??!!!

The bible says in Proverbs 13:20 "He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed". We truly are the company we keep, when we hang out with people that isn't conducive with the way God wants us to live we destroy ourselves spiritually. In John 13:15 "Greater love has no one than this, than lay down one's life for his friends." For the people that you call friend, are they friends that you are willing to go into battle for? Will these "friends" go into battle for you? These are critical questions!! Are we laying down our lives for the right people? Are we giving the people the title friend when we should have left them as servants (read your bible). We can NEVER forget the infamous and my favorite, Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friends". This one is so important because we to need to be sharpen and fueled daily!! The people we hang around need to be what we need to stay connected to the source and be fed in this life. It's hard daily and if they are not pouring into you then they are leaving you empty.  

How do I know? I have lived through it...I am still living through it! God has revealed and confirmed the relationships that I need to let go because of my inability to rise above my flesh and stay Christian around them. I don't drink anymore, I am not insecure enough to put other people down anymore, I am not a substance abuser, I don't have sex, I don't place myself in sexual environments, I don't enjoy profane language, hostile environments or situations, and these are things I don't seek after anymore. I had to sit back and allow God to move in my life. To be so isolated and undistracted to the point where I know God and know what is and isn't Him. I have sat with His word for days so that I am sure I am hearing from Him when I hear from Him. Sis, from experience I am not longer connected to the enemy and no longer influenced by things of this world. I can no longer say I didn't know. I AM A CHILD OF GOD! and I have ALL desires to act like it. Not pretend until no one is looking, I want my entire life to reflect that of Christ. He has also confirmed and revealed the relationships I should keep around, when I think I don't deserve them. They are constantly proving that I do deserve. I truly love Gods people. God loves His people and places things on the hearts of peopleto give and do for others and those are the people you need around!

All glory and honor goes to the divine relationships God has created for me and will create for me. I am in awe with anytime I ask for prayer, my sisters say I am covered and I know that it's true. I am mind blown when God places people in my life that will step away from everything that they are doing to make time just to pray. I am amazed when I get a text EVERYDAY from a girl I have NEVER met but because we connected, joked, and laughed we are really sisters because God is in the mist. I am overjoyed when I have relationships that were already established but are deepened in Christ so they are 100 times better then I could have ever imagined. I am overwhelmed when people see Christ all over you and just want to serve with you because they want front row seats when God starts to move and not to hate but to congratulate every step of the way and vice versa. I don't know why He does it but I am forever grateful!

Lets us pray:

Heavenly Father, I love You! Thank You for the opportunities You allow to tell my story and give insight on. Thank You for the shift You are taking us through to get everything You promised. Thank You for the relationships You have created for us to get to these places and the relationships You will maintain. Thank You for the relationships You will mend because they were never meant to fall apart. Thank You for giving us the hearts to let go and move on for You are so intentional in all Your ways. We trust You Father every step of the way. Give us the desire to be more like You, to love, to forgive, and see things just as You do. Thank You for Your heart and not hiding when we need You most. Thank You for all that You do for we are forever in debt to Your grace and mercy. Thank You for all You do, in Jesus name we pray. AMEN. 

May you all be blessed!! I pray that God leads hearts in all relationships. That we have the ability to discern what is and what isn't. I pray that we have the hearts to forgive all, hold on to those we are suppose to and to let go of those who are suppose to be let go of. May we all be guided by God every second, minute, and hour of everyday. I love y'all and thank God for everyone of you! Let's build the Kingdom to His liking with relationships that reflect who He is. 

Today meditate on Proverbs 27:17, John 15:13, Proverbs 13:20, pray over your relationships and pray with those people who you have relations (Godly Relations) with.

#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

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
