Change

I believe everyone reaches a point in their life where they want different things and better things for themselves. In order to achieve these things a change has to take place. Whether the change comes in the form of a job, your appearance, or even the people around you. We hate to say goodbye to things and people because we get caught up and use to having them around that we expect them to be there always. Sometimes in order to get to your next journey you have to pack lightly. You cannot carry all the baggage into your new journey that you had on your last trip. You have to rid yourself of past hurts, aches, pains, people. People can and will be your biggest hindrance if you let them be. Some just cannot accept the fact that you want more for yourself and they honestly want to see you fail. I say to you now BUNK ‘EM. Just do you.

Overflow and Praise

This afternoon I was taking a nap and I had interrupted my nap because in my dream I was constantly receiving an overflow of money from everywhere. It seemed everywhere I turned blessings were being thrown my direction. So much to the point that I was running out of room to put all that I was being given. When I woke up the scripture came to me;
(Malachi 3:10)
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Immediately I went into praise because there were somethings I went to God about a long time ago and that dream was confirmation for me. What I received from that dream was the word PROSPERITY. Most ppl when they hear the word prosper money is the first thing to come to mind. Not too worried about the finances because the Word lets me know if I seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness then all these shall be added unto me. But I took that dream as God was getting ready to pour a prosperity blessing upon my life. My anointing, my prayer life, my career, my children, my position in him...all of it is about to be elevated. I usually don't share my dreams but this time I was led to because there are some who have prayed for things(doesn't have to be materialistic)and it is because of your faithfulness over the little things that God is going to make you a ruler over many. When these things come to past you are not to look back but go forth as thus saith the Lord and be a blessing to others. Just because certain doors didn't open that you felt should have been opened does not mean it's over for you. Remain faithful until your change comes. At times people get so close to the promises of God and they lose out because they feel the praise comes after the blessing is received. The praise begins before,during, and after the blessing. A Persistent Praise Provokes a Power Shift! Your breakthrough, deliverance, healing, blessing,etc. begins when you open your mouth.While you are waiting for your door to open praise Him in the hallway:) Praise your way right on into your next level. Be blessed

Accepting What God Allows

Often times when things come our way most of us have a habit of asking why me Lord? After a serious conversation with a trusted friend God sent a serious word to me that I wasn't expecting. It's not for me to know why. There is a reason and a purpose for everything. Too many times we lose out or miss out on the things that are intended for us simply because we haven't learned how to accept what HE allows. We get so caught up in the routine of life and so use to doing it and fixing it ourselves. God is sitting there waiting on you to stop playing his role so he can do his job. Once we finally get to that place where we can put self and pride on the shelf then that's when true healing and deliverance can take place. Healing from all past hurts and deliverance from any thing that has you bound. For me my biggest issue all this time has been self. Not willing to admit that I have faults and that I come short. Certain situations arise and I have to surrender to his will even when I don't want to because he always knows what is best in my life. I have to allow self to die daily so that he may live within me eternally.

Reflection on the past year of my life

I am a lot wiser than I was, definitely learned a lot about myself and those around me who claim to be for me. Quite a few lessons I learned. Always treat people how you want to be treated no matter how they are towards you. Honesty is so important and no matter what be real with yourself and the people you love. In order to experience the sunshine you have to go through a couple of storms. God is always in control and he will keep you if you want to be kept. If God gives you a ministry work it to your fullest ability and he will back you up. Step out on faith and go for what you want in life. Don't complain about what you don't have but thank God for what you do have. Don't be so quick to throw in the towel because to whom much is given much is required. One of my favs is I am who God says I am and there is nothing "man" can do to change that. There is so much more I could say but it is a note lol so I will leave it at that. Love you guys and as my man Steve Harvey says,"Don't be afraid to pray cause prayer changes things."

Dont let it be said too late

For every female who’s ever been in an abusive situation pay close attention to this:

Looking in the mirror and what do I see an unrecognizable face looking back at me. Broken bones frame my face. Bumps and bruises all over the place. Trying to figure out where it all went wrong. Was it the time he put me through a wall or slap me cause I was on the phone. Maybe it was putting the kids first that made his anger burst. As my blood trails the walls and floors fist holes in almost every door I think to my self how could this be I’m dying inside and I feel so empty. When he pulls up and the door opens I wipe my eyes quickly and get the last tear in. My outer shell putting on being as fake as a front lace all the while remembering the look on my kids face. As he drags me through the house, throws me on the couch, busts my lip cause he thinks another man is what I been with. As dinner is going okay I asked him how was your day immediately I became the prey hoping God let’s me see another day. Punch after punch hit after hit his voice says get back here you think you slick. Now I know you’re wondering why I allow him to control me . 10 yrs 3 kids I’m in this too deep. Don’t worry I got a plan though just as soon as he lets me go. I have some money put away that I was saving for a rainy day. I will take the car and leave even though its hard for you to believe. As so many thoughts run through my mind can’t help but wonder will this be the last time. Suddenly the hits stop coming but then he starts running. My body seems to be falling, on Jesus I am calling. But at last its too late I finally face my fate. Guess you are wondering what happened to me. Let me try to paint the picture clearly. I no longer have to think outside the box because now I live in one. I died that night at the hands of an abusive man. So when u feel you’re too scared to leave remember my voice saying YOU CAN.

YOUR SEASON IS COMING

IN TODAY'S WORLD THINGS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT THE BLINK OF AN EYE. EVERYTHING IS A SPLIT DECISION. BECAUSE OF THIS WE TEND TO MAKE THE WRONG CHOICES. OR WE MAKE CHOICES BASED ON WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS THE VOICE OF GOD AND LATER ON WE FIND OUT DIFFERENT. LATELY EVERYONE IS IN A RUSH ALL THE TIME. IN A RUSH TO GET TO WORK, GET HOME, GET PROMOTED, GO TO BED, WAKE UP, TAKE THIS POSITION , TO PREACH, SING, ETC. CONSTANTLY MAKING DECISIONS BUT NO ONE IS LISTENING FOR THE VOICE OF GOD. THE STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD. THAT GOES FOR MEN AND WOMEN. GOD IS NOT GOING TO LEAD YOU ASTRAY OR HE'S NOT MOVING TOO SLOW AS SOME MAY FEEL. HE HAS DESIGNED IT SO EVERYTHING HAPPENS AT IT'S RIGHT TIME. BLESSINGS COME WHEN HE'S READY FOR THEM TO COME. YOU SHALL REAP IN DUE SEASON IF YOU FAINT NOT. WAIT ON THE LORD YOUR SEASON IS COMING.

Relationships from my view

In a recent quest for answers to several questions running through my head I managed to uncover some serious but real talk concerning relationships. Everyone has their own take on men/women based on their experiences with them. Which means I have one as well. Let me just clear this myth up right quick for all those who think there are no "good ones" left. There is someone out there for you!!!!!!!! Now back to my take on men/women. As far as women go I believe every woman wants love and to be loved. Every woman desires the wonderful family life at some point in their life. Women are emotional creatures so everything they do is based on emotions and how they feel at that particular time. Emotions can be a dangerous thing to a woman if not handled correctly because she can take it to different levels. Just because a woman wants a man does not mean that she needs him. As a woman we want a lot of things but that in no way means we need them. Women were not created to be needy ppl but needed ppl. Some where along the way women have lost sight of their true worth and began to settle for less than they are ought to. In due time all women will wake up again to see the beauty that lies with in and walk in it again. When it comes to men I think all men are not dogs. Most men have developed a selfish attitude towards women based on things they went through. I think for both sexes it has to come to a point where we both stop talking so much and start listening a little bit more. Relationships would last a little bit more and have more substance if we put in time, put in love, respect, honesty, trust, commitment, and God. We have allowed people's views and opinions to form our belief about each other. Those days when men open doors, pull out seats, take the check, hold down the bills, romance the lady, etc. are diminishing at a high rate of speed. It's becoming more accepted because women allow it to be so. A man is not going to know what a women likes and how unless she communicates. A woman is not going to know how and what a man wants unless he communicates. Everybody is busy communicating with everybody else except the one you are involved with. I believe there can still be solid relationships if we seek the kingdom of God first and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.
