Our Great Year of 2023!

Inside the gift of the year of 2023, I have learned so much about myself. People can tell you about their trials and tribulations however it does not resonate until you become them. For so long I have been so sure of myself. I have been sure of the goals that I set forth being accomplished. The friendships and other family relationships have been tested and for once not knowing where they stand. The mother that I have been, but this great year of 2023 has become the year of unsurities (don't know if that's a word), I have played the follower when I was supposed to lead and I led when I was supposed to follow. I guess this is what life is. It created something in me as I reflect today on it that revealed all of my flaws to me. It showed my human side to my children who believed that I was superhuman for some reason. It made me question where I was on God's list. You know how trials come in and you can't see anything outside of your circumstances. This was me.  I have cri

The Keys of Growth in Faith! Inspired by Bishop Bronner

The keys of Faith  persistent - get it consistent - keep it grateful- get more of it (God will bless you with more) ____________________________ faithful people love, serve, and give Don't pray selfish prayers. We are in a community. Twelve is the number of order. The woman who had the issue of blood for 12 years. She was bleeding in a place of intimate relationships. God is shifting when the house comes to order everything in the house gets blessed. Structure has to come. God has been building the people before the building.  God is stopping the bleeding through the pressure. God is not so interested in your comfort He is more interested in your development. It's not trying to make you bitter; it's making you better. Pressure is a gift from God that will stop us from bleeding out. Set your focus! The areas of your focus will be the area of your rewards. The area of your neglect will be the area of your pain. Whatever you take for granted will be taken away. The reason the

Now Faith

 Now Faith... Faith is as the scripture says the in Hebrews 11:1 is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.  It has been a while since I released my last blog and believe me there has been so many twists and turns in this new year of 2023 I do not know where to start. I believe I will start right here in my present day. Faith is the thing that has keep me floating and my head above the waves. In life it is so easy to smile and keep a straight face while your everything in you wants to yell I quit... This is real for so many, but not my story completely and I Thank God the Father for this. The fact is I am so intrigued with how the story ends. I find more peace in how the Lord our God will work us through each and every situation we will face. But this requires a substance called Faith. Faith is defined in Mariam-Webster Dictionary as belief and trust in and loyalty to God , a firm belief in something for which there is no proof, and it is defined as some

Ye of Little Faith

 Matthew 17:20  'And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. ' Matthew 17:20.       https://my.bible.com/bible/1/MAT.17.20 Oh my. When this title was deposited inside of me. I thought of myself and no one else. You know the truth of the matter is I am incredibly talented. Yes, it is okay to call yourself talented. God instilled Greatness in each one of us. However, I always seem to veer away from the things that God calls me to. It has been like I am so scared of success, but what if, just what if... Those questions tend to be negative before positive as I attempt to answer them for myself. I have grown to the point now where the answer to these questions has become increasingly positive. But there are still things that I am working on.   When we say what if it is as if God w

It's Just Necessary!

It wasn't until the last few years that I started to understand the importance of self-care and self- acknowledgment. The self game is very strong now in my life. Not only have I achieved self-care, self-acknowledgement, self-confidence, and self-worth, I now have self-forgiveness. That one is the largest self-forgiveness! Self-forgiveness is what keeps a lot of us in bondage, because we are normally harder on ourselves than the ones around us.  Romans 8:1 (NIV) Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.  Colossians 1:17 (NIV)  He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.  Also, we tend to replay things in our minds giving us the possibility of different resolutions. However, hindsight is always 20/20.  As we grow older and possibly gain more wisdom we find out that some things are just necessary. Some decisions are necessary although they still may be very painful to make. To be honest sometimes there are some hard lessons that com

There is a level of intimacy required!

There is a level of intimacy required! Do we believe more of what the enemy says to us or do what believe what God says about us? See as we focus on the things of God we will unlock more of his hidden secrets. As our relationship grow so does the level of intimacy as well. Yes " intimacy " I know as we think of the word intimacy some of our minds go directly to the bedroom. But God defined the bedroom in a marriage as undefiled (Hebrews 13:4) . I ask you to reflect on the amount of privacy the two of you desire to give one another in a marriage. Thinking through this concept I understand through the Holy Spirit. This level of intimacy is something that God desires to have with us.  However, there are somethings that we have to be aware of. One most important things to remember is Satan does not have a book, yet we believe what he says to and about us while it is written in a book The Bible (B.asic I.nstruction B.efore L.eaving E.arth) with witnesses of what  God says abo

Willingness for Obedience

Willingness for Obedience! In the midst of the hustle and bustle. We so quickly and unintentionally ignore the quiet, still small voice of the holy spirit. When this happens, we tend to miss out on blessings or intricate details of valuable instructions. These directions could keep us from falling into the next pit or it could guide us into an abundance of blessings. If only we yield to His voice. The larger  question is even if we receive the guidance, are we willing to obey? My truth is I am realizing my answer has been it depends on what it is that God is asking me to do. How many of you can honestly agree? And you know what it is okay to agree with this. I have both of my hands up in agreement because there is no shame in growth. We have to get to the place of correction and change. These are some questions I find myself asking when God tells me to do something. Here are some of the examples of the questions: How much of myself do I have to expose? How long do I have to go thro
