Praising Through A Pandemic

Sometimes I sit and wonder, as a Christian how and why am I enduring such heartbreak and especially during this awful pandemic.

How can God allow such tragedies?

Death. Disease. Social Distancing. Heartache. Pain. And more….

And then I questioned myself. If this had not happened; would I have been walking purpose and living for God or just existing getting by day to day? Seriously. For years God has been pressing upon my heart to teach, preach and live a life pleasing to Him and I was not ready. I didn’t take time to hear Him. But, the passing of my mother due to COVID19 made me open my eyes and wake up for real. It is not a game. It is serious. There is a need. The world needs whatever God had placed in me/us!

We can not take it lightly. We must rise up to the great potential God spiritually downloaded within us. I speak 🗣 loud and clear to myself daily. There’s no need for me to continue to wait on a prophecy, someone to lay hands, a notion or anything. Once God said a long time ago; that was it.! The same goes for anyone else! If you start and it’s God’s will for your life; then HE will carry you through it!!! He will not allow you to fail! Period! Stay focused on the vision, the purpose and God will see you through the promise that He purposed for you!

As I embark upon this journey with persistent and consistent efforts; I encourage you to do the same. It won’t always be easy, but I can tell you; it’ll be well worth it. Your lineage depends on it. Be the one that breaks the chains of generational curses, be the change, be the promise!!!!

Purpose

Do you know what your purpose is? I’d not, have you prayed about it, mediated on it? Do you know to seek God for it? Are you loving on purpose? Living on purpose? Doing anything on purpose?

Are you seeing results? Are you positively affecting those around you? Are you an influencer or a leader? Are you motivating?

What purpose do wake up to on a daily basis? What is your purpose for being alive? Not how much money you make. Not the job you have. Not the business. Not the friends. But, what is your purpose? What were you called to do in life outside of a title?

If you don’t know; I encourage you to find out. I encourage you to get started now. Time waits on no one and tomorrow is not promised.

Don’t let another day go by & you don’t know what your purpose is…..

Time Waits On No one ☝🏾

What are you waiting on to start the business or the to write the book?! What would it take for you to step out on faith and tell it like it is! Meaning; what’s stopping you from taking a trip?! What is keeping you from getting that passport?! What is making you afraid to start over if love didn’t work out the first time?!

I used to be the same way! Always overthinking! Always doubting ME! Always procrastinating! And looked up and seen someone else doing what God told me to do and SUCCESSFULLY doing it! I would be so mad at MYSELF!

NOW! Now I am going after everything God promised me and then some! I’m telling you to just step out, do your research, get yourself LLC or Sole Proprietor, EIN, Business permit and just do it. There are free websites, $10 business cards at Office Depot and social media and friends for marketing!

The world awaits you love! I don’t care how many people are doing it; they don’t have your flava! They don’t have your swag! They don’t have your anointing! They are NOT YOU!!!

I wish you the best! Nothing less! Now go be great!! ❤️

Thankful Thursday

This is the day that the Lord has made! We will rejoice and be glad in it! We lean not to our own understanding but in all thy ways we acknowledge the Lord and His mercy. We acknowledge Him in all things.

We bless God on today! We thank Him for waking us up and staying ya on our way. For letting us see a brand new day!

We thank God for keeping us on last night, for keeping our children, our homes, our loved ones and grand babies. We thank God for His mercy and grace. We thank God for His forgiveness. We thank God for His unconditional love and blessings.

Had it not been for the Lord who is on our side; where would we be? On this Thursday; we Thank God! We thank God! We thank God! God we love you! God we bless you! God we adore you!

With Love,

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is hard sometimes. Especially when you feel as though you’ve been done wrong. Or in actuality; you have been wronged. Even more when you’ve been wronged and that particular person does NOT apologize.

If you let it; it’ll cause you to harbor unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment in your heart. All of which can and will if you don’t forgive cause ulcers, sickness and disease (dis-ease) to set up in your body.

I know it’s easier said than done; however it has to be done…. FOR YOU! For your peace of mind! For your journey! For your life! To preserve your peace, integrity and self love. It’s all for you. Let God deal with them.

It also doesn’t mean, you have to be buddy buddy with that person again. It doesn’t mean you have to chill with them or always be on the phone with them. It means, forgiving so you can move on, love your life, be at peace within and so you won’t miss your blessings. No one deserves to have that kind of power over you. Plus, you just feel good on the inside when you do. That my dear, is peace like no other.

It’s ok, if on the beginning it feels weird. It is. Over time, a day or so or maybe even a month; it will get better! Don’t allow it to consume you or your time. Press forward and enjoy your life. Wake up those dreams! Live a full and glorious life!!!! You only one life but, many days to live them!!!! You can do this! You were born to overcome, you were born to persevere and let nothing and no one hinder that!!!!! You matter! You are loved! You are worthy! You are enough! You too are forgiven!!!! ❤️

Psalm 91

Living for the Lord is necessary in this day and age. Let me tell you why I say this; look at the world!!!! Look at all the evil going on! Look at all the people dying! Look at Covid19! Look at the people in charge!

If we don’t need Jesus Christ now more than ever; I mean we need him. But how about just wanting Him? How about just wanting to please God? Just having a heart ❤️ to serve, worship and praise God just because? It’s the most rewarding and beautiful experience on a daily basis. It opens you up spiritually, Hess your mind and body, gives you clarity, you gain wisdom, protection and go to new levels career wise, in family, life and relationships.

I tell people all the time, especially women Cater to God how you cater to these men who aren’t your husband and watch how different and how much better the outcome is!!!! Our Heavenly Father awaits a beau relationship with us.

Even during this pandemic; Psalm 91 assures is of His protection and guidance. He assures us of His love and grace. No deadly disease will affect us as long as we trust Him according to psalm 91.

Get into it!!!! God will not lie to us! He’s not a man that He should lie; neither the son of God that He should repent.

❤️❤️❤️

PATIENCE

God has a way of reminding you of who’s in charge. As I sit and wait for my windows to be tinted; I see some people are leaving, some waiting and some waiting PATIENTLY. I’m waiting patiently. Good things come to those who awaits PATIENTLY. While some complain about the long line and packed parking lot; I can honestly say, they have a system set up and it’s moving smoothly. They have 4-5 tiny techs and they are proficient and efficient. They are kind and honest. They work well under pressure. Their demeanor has not changed once with each client. I waited in my car with my mask on, hand sanitizer and gloves and Lysol until my time came up. He politely came to retrieve my keys, pulled my car in and now I’m sitting close to the street away from everyone because listen Covid19 is still alive and these people have no clue what SOCIAL DISTANCING MEANS. Literally!!!!! I’m SO shocked but not surprised! I’m keeping myself far away from everyone, I’m going to Lysol my car down once it’s finished and head home to shower and cleanse myself from the outside world.

Having patience has paid off today because what appeared to be a 4-6 hour wait and job altogether has turned into a 3-4 hour wait and job. I’m thankful I didn’t leave because when the owner showed up; the shift was made! Things began to move faster than before because he stepped onto the scene.

That’s just like in our lives today. We have a way of how we want things to be and when, BUT GOD has the final say so! Things don’t begin to function properly and move smoothly until GOD shows up on the scene!

God has a way of making things, all things work together for our good! And it’s not until HE shows up that our lives begin to shift and turn into how it’s really supposed to be and go. We get better results by waiting ON & IN GOD. We get bigger blessings, favor and answers to our prayers when we wait patiently on God. It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it.

So, on today; I encourage you to be patient. Remember the Bible says that patience is a virtue. Gods got you! Let Him have the drivers seat and watch how smoothly you get to your destination.

Seasons….

There will always be seasons in your life that change from time to time just like the seasons according to nature. Winter, spring, summer and fall.

It’s the same with your life. You’ll have ups, downs, ins and outs. Seasons of love, seasons of being alone. Seasons of wealth and seasons of just enough. Seasons of joy and seasons of sorrow. Seasons of reaping and seasons of sowing.

In every season have a spirit of thankfulness, gratefulness and appreciation. It’s all in how you handle the season that determines your outcome.

In every season, God is with you and for you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. You are a chosen people covered in His love, protection and favor.

Keep your mind at peace. Keep your heart pure. And flow through the seasons like a champion. You have already won because victory belongs to you. It’s a fixed fight with God on your side!

You will manifest what you think and breath. Don’t wish, don’t hope. Just have faith knowing you have everything you need even when you don’t see it because your faith won’t fail you. Don’t allow it too! You are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus!

In season and out of season; just know that God is with you! You can not fail and you will not lose!!!!!

Happy Thursday!!!! ❤️

Have You Ever?

Have you ever sat and wondered what your life would be like if you actually gave God your all? Like, totally surrender your all? No excuses. Denying of the flesh. No fornicating, no lies, no stealing, no backbiting, obeying the Ten Commandments and just simply being obedient to God. I do!

I always wonder what my life would literally look like if I fully trusted God with everything in me and I refused to go back to my old ways. How happy I would be? How blessed I’d be? How much peace of have. How I would automatically know without any doubt that EVERY battle Is already won!

Have you ever thought about what life would be like if you waited on God to send you a mate? Someone on your level mentally, emotionally, spiritually and just wanted to serve God and love the heck outta you?

How you’d walk forever in Gods divine and uncommon favor. Open doors, new opportunities and so forth. I mean; just experiencing all of Gods goodness and glory by simply saying “yes God”. Yes God I’ll be obedient, I’ll walk in your will and way.

Because for years I’ve done it my way, satans way and people’s way. I’ve tried to figure it on my own, I’ve allowed the devil to wreck havoc in my life at times, I’ve def dates outside the will of God and when I tell you; I paid dearly for it. Just messed me right on up!

I’m sitting here wondering if I just simply obey God, trust God for real and watch Him work; what’s going to happen? Well, I have nothing to lose but EVERYTHING to gain.

I hope this article makes you ponder the question and better yet I hope it sparks something in you to make you trust God a little more than you already do.
