Have you messed Up?

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible


It feels so good to be back blogging again. Whew! This scripture speaks to my heart. This past 2 years since have been a serious faithwalk for me. I have had so many tests and trials rise up that if I didn't have God carrying me I there is no way I would've made it.  I've learned that we can't take our eyes off God for a split second. We should always have a praise on a the inside and outside. We live in a time where people get alienated for even preaching the true living word of God. I had to step out on faith starting my businesses, going back into fashion design, so many things.  I was so doubtful of myself but God kept on sending people my way and doors are opening. Our Christian walk is so important as far as the example we set for others including our children but sometimes it just gets hard. You may be dealing with lonliness, a bad relationship or marriage, problems on the job, the list goes on and on. How do we handle those moments that we just want to give up and go back to our old ways? We talk to God about it, lay that situation before him and walk away. God can't do His job if we are constantly trying to do it for Him. Part of living for God is knowing and understanding that sometimes you WILL mess up. The key here is not getting complacent and comfortable with STAYING in your mess.  God honors those of us who seek righteousness so just keep praying and striving for God. He really does understand because he truly has walked in our shoes. That's the most wonderful thing about our Father, the sacrifices He made for us which ended up being His own life.  Now we can talk to Him about our bad habits (because we ALL have them) and He will help us overcome. The devil would have us to believe if he could that we are so messed up that we cant run to Jesus. We can run to Him as many times as we  need until we get it right. I'm not saying to be comfortable with sinning because of his grace, no no.  Scripture says that God searches our hearts so He knows which of us truly have a heart for Him. Your faith is what MOVES God. This means you can conquer anything in life in Him even sin and the devil himself. It's definitely not easy, but it can be done so just work your FAITH.  I am so looking forward to sharing my professional and spiritual journey with you.

Our Daily Prayer

Lord let me not walk in doubt and fear. You said you will never leave or forsake me. Holy spirit give me the strength to believe and have faith that your word is true. In knowing that all things work to the good for those who love and obey the Lord , I take comfort in knowing that I can rest and cast all of my cares onto you.

Rest and trust in God always. Peace be with you

Who Do You Represent?

This year has been one of total conviction and divine revelation for me and I'm beyond greatful to God. Like I said in my last post, I went though a very tough season this past year and As I slowly allowed the Holy Spirit to fully dwell within me again after grieving it almost to death, the question "who do you represent?" Screamed loudly in my head. With every sinful action that took place  I would hear that question and it crippled my heart. Those words were in my head day...and night. I was so convicted.  I was lead by the Holy Spirit to put my pen down and open my bible daily. So during this pruning season, God was shaking the mess out of me like wake up daughter! You're falling asleep again! I cried so many nights and I fought back like a chid.  I was corrected consistently. I began to wake up. Blinders came off and I started seeing things spiritually.  I became completely disgusted with myself and repented immediately as I was beginning to see how lukewarm I...

The Comparison Trap vs The Divine Timeline

I used to get so stressed out when I was younger because I felt like I had to keep up with everyone else. It got worse after I became a single mom and my marriage failed because I worked extra hard to live a life that showed prosperity and success. Here is the problem, when we care too much about what people think of us instead of God,  making success our idol. What motivates us to do the things we do?  Providing for our families yes and that is a great motivator. However, it becomes an issue  if that subtle feeling of inadequacy creeps in when we see someone else more successful than we feel we are and begin to wonder "what are they doing?"  I need to do better than them, I need to do it BIG. Then we start to compare our lives to other people and the motivation shifts from pleasing God and providing for our families to showing out for the masses.  When we do achieve that level of success we prayed for, we begin to ge...

Sleeping With the Enemy

The title of this blog post is a little misleading I must admit because it has nothing to do with Intimacy, It has more to do with our mentality and spirituality. In other words,   what do we have our hearts and minds set on? Does it glorify God?  In my case, the answer was sometimes yes and sometimes no. I recognized what was happening, so I took a break from blogging and writing for a while during a pivotal moment in my life. As I went through the eye of my own storm, I realized how hard this walk really is when things don't go as planned, and how many times  I found myself being distracted from my purpose. I started Questioning every decision I made concerning my relationship with God and everything He has already made clear I need to do. I was getting complacent in my walk and some days when the trials got the best of me, not caring at all. Life dealt me some pretty hard blows that I didn't handle very well.  I didn't feel like praying. I was barely spending any ...
