Gods way!

Image
How many of us do this? Sometimes God tells us exactly what it is crystal clear, but it's not always necessarily what we want to hear! Remember God knows best! Even if you are scared of this new change, his way is always the best way! Love love ❤ have the best day ever!

Everything has a purpose!

Image
So hang in there, it isn't over until God says! Yesterday I was told you can't give too much focus on the things that are beyond your control! Keep praying and let everything play it's course, we have to go through it to grow through it, it's inevitable, so push through!

Ask God!

Image
A personʼs wisdom yields patience; it is to oneʼs glory to overlook an offense. Proverbs 19:11 NIV  Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone. Proverbs 25:15 NIV This morning I couldn't decide which verse I liked better! If you haven't noticed today is about being patient! Lol some of us have zero patience, but on the other hand expect people to be patient with us! That's something we have to work on, and pray diligently about! We can accomplish so much more through being patient than we can with an attitude! Ask God today to give you the strength of patience!

P.R.A.Y.

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 14:13‭-‬14 NIV First of all...God doesn't make a promise he doesn't keep! His words are trill! Pray, pray, pray!! Because prayer actually works! Talk to your heavenly Father, praise his name and continue to glorify him, not for a blessing but because you love him! Do everything out of love, because everything he does for us is out of LOVE ! Remember we don't deserve a "thang"! But he gives us his all continuously, and doesn't hesitate because he loves us so much! Keep praying, don't doubt him, keep believing, so you'll be fulfilled, and keep spreading his word!

Do it for YOU!

Image
When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord , supported me.  When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. Psalm 94:18‭-‬19 NIV No matter what you may be going through, stop and take a second to pray about it! No matter what your problems, worries, and or situations maybe; NOTHING is greater than God! Give him your hand, give him your trust, and let go of everything stressful, and worrisome! Procrastination is a step in the wrong direction loves, push yourself today !

Listen

Image
So be still and listen ... Sometimes God has to be a little dramatic with us to get our attention, because when he's subtle with us we tend to ignore him! Listen ! Give him the attention he deserves!

What goes around comes around

"Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else."             1 Thessalonians 5:15 NIV This is one verse that's hard for many to live by, because every body is so interested in "KARMA" , or the act of "REVENGE". It's hard for many to be ok with loving, or even being kind towards someone, whom they feel has hurt them or did them wrong! ...and if that's you, today I'm going to tell you, that you are human, and that it is ok. Be upset, be hurt, be mad, but get over it. Forgive, with all your might, forgive just as you'd ask God to forgive you, and love, with all your heart, love them anyway just as you want God to love you! It's definitely not an easy thing to do, but it's something you have to make a conscious effort on, something that may require daily attention on your behalf and if you slip off, just pick right back up. Prayer is your power. P

Loyalty. Faith. And GOD

Image
Your word, Lord , is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.  Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures.  Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.  If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.  I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life. Psalm 119:89‭-‬93 NIV People are not always loyal to you, but the benefits that come with you! People don't keep their word, people are not faithful. Makes you wonder who can you trust? Why must I always be looking at you sided eyed? Because people are humans! Trust is a choice, and when you break it and you probably will I have to choose if I want to trust you again! My personal experience says nope! Can trust him or can't trust her, but my heart is open for forgiveness. But God! He is faithful, he is loyal, he can not tell a lie! He always keeps his word, for his words are eternal and just. He is pure,

Pray

Image
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16 NIV We have the power, we're just afraid to use it! He gave us everything that was needed! Don't stop using your power! PRAY PRAY PRAY!! Pray over your future, your children's future, their children's future. Pray over your finances, over your joy, your peace, your comfort, your spirit, your love, your LIFE!...and BELIEVE in what you pray!

T.R.U.S.T HIM!

Image
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. proverbs .3.5-6.NIV Give the Lord your struggles, your pain, your burdens and he'll give you peace, joy, and comfort! Trust his in his words to have you completely covered! He'll never lie to you, he'll never break your heart or still your joy. For he loves you! All you have to do is trust him!

In the mist of madness

Image
Sooooo... seeing this on TV and or hearing  about it on the news or radio and praying for these ppl is very different than being there and witnessing ppl running towards safety... Unfortunately I was in the mist of the madness last night, it was so scary, and so sad at the same time. I can't even imagine had I been even a street over I'd have been a target! GOD is real and he was definitely with me and the ppl around me, protecting us! Life was taken yesterday and we NEVER know when he will allow us our last breath! Let's get right and stay right!

Craving some Jesus!

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 NIV When I decided to start this blog I was in a different place in life. Having to move forward from people who I love and distance myself from people I thought would be in my life forever. I was sad and devastated! But I kept praying and clinging to the Lord! I eventually moved on because that's life, my heart healed, I am happy again and I noticed I started to slack on my blogs and more importantly my relationship with God! I realize the same way I call on him when I hurt is the same way I need to fight for his attention when I'm happy! I'm human and we all do it I believe. God deserves us at our happiest moments because that's what he wants for us! I've asked him for forgiveness and I ask you the same! I started this because it made me feel alive again and by doing this God has touched many of you through this blog and by the words he allows me to write, I can'

Chasing Life VS Chasing Christ

Image
You can keep chasing life all you want, but I promise you'll never be fully satisfied! It'll never work!  Life will leave you empty, broken, and discontent! ...but...The moment you decide to chase Christ your life will be amazing! God will fulfill you with the richest of love, he'll fill any and every void in your heart! He'll leave you more than just satisfied, for he already knows the desires of your heart!

My prayer for you!

Image
 I hope you become filled with so much happiness that it heals every part of your life! I hope that incredible joy consumes you! I hope that peace surrounds you and love nurtures you! I hope your faith moves mountains. I hope your heart inspires others. I hope that life encourages you! And that God's love embodies you, exudes you, and represents you! In Jesus NAME...

Sweet Revenge, or a Forgiving Heart!

Image
“ ‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord". Leviticus 19:18 NIV Have you been in a situation where you've been the one who was mistreated, done dirty, and disrespected? I have, and it doesn't feel good...it hurts! What do hurt people do? They hurt people... so the cycle would I assume continue..you hurt me I hurt you back and so on.. As Christians we do nothing! You hurt me, I'll hurt but let it go! Allowing God to handle my situation according to his will, not according to my feelings! <<The bible tells us that revenge is not ours! "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for Godʼs wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord". Romans 12:19 NIV>> Then in the following verse God tells us, ['if they (the person who hurt you) are hungry feed them, if they are thirsty provide them with something to drink'

Secret Weapon

Image
Good morning! I just want to reassure you that NOTHING is beyond what God can repair! No matter what you maybe going through, prayer is the best weapon against all your battles!

The Love of God

Image
This statement itself is strong enough to stand alone..but think about it.. What are gravitated towards that isn't Christ? Whatever you're looking for you are only going to find in him! Stop using people, food, or sex to fulfill a void that only God can fill!

What happened to your imagination?

Image
What happened to our imagination? As a child our minds were endless! We believed anything was possible and dreamed we could be and do whatever our minds allowed us.. Now we're so filled we doubt, we can't imagine certain opportunities in our lives.  What happened to your imagination? What has filled you, with doubt and disbelief? Honestly, it burns me up when people say "that'll never happen for me".. why? We're you turned down one to many times, pushed away, the door slammed in us face, heard NO too many times, did you give up?  As a child our parents comfort us, and shield us from harm. When we fall down they pick us up. When we cry they wipe our tears and hold us close. We have an example of life, but its pretty easy when you're guarded by mommy and daddy...As an adult God allows us free will and although he allows us to go through life he still protects us.  Our minds are powerful and he gave us everything we need! Life isn't easy and your

Get ready!

Image
Wow! All these natural disasters back to back to back...feels like God is coming! May sound cliché but whenever he arrives we just want to be ready because one things for sure, once he's here he "ain't" waiting for us to get it together! Can you imagine him arriving and you asking for another day, another minute..? I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just saying we have to be ready. Don't limit yourself by given yourself a cut off..what I mean is by saying "when I hit this age", "when I've achieved this goal", "after I finish being wild"... How do you know you'll make it to that age, or you'll achieve that goal, or on your last day you were still being wild! Don't procrastinate with God..with your soul! Get it right! We made it through Harvey, we made it through Irma now josè is coming.. Do you remember when Noah warned the people about the water coming, they thought that man is crazy! If we hear someone ye

Push Through!

Image
We all go through moments of self doubt, hardships and weaknesses. Moment when we don't know what to do, who to call on. We feel alone, like no one cares, lost, depressed, and desperate . We have two options .. you can either stay in that moment or decide to keep pushing, keep moving forward. Below I have added some bible verse and links for encouragement! Hebrews 10:23-25 NIV http://bible.com/111/heb.10.23-25.NIV  Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching........verse 36-37 below Hebrews 10:36-37 NIV http://bible.com/111/heb.10.36-37.NIV You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For, “In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not del

He's a WAY MAKER!!

Image
We know God is a WAY maker, MIRACLE worker, PROMISE keeper, he's our light in our darkness! Right now Texas is suffering, but we know God is a supernatural God, a God who performs miracles! If you were affected or have family members or friends who are affected, my heart truly goes out and prayers are definitely going up! God can turn this disaster right around, I love how I've seen the people COME TOGETHER, and all the love and support, everyone lending a hand, and that is nothing but God! People praising God that they were rescued, and just being thankful; thanking him and praising him in the mist of it all! God is going to make a way! He is going to move mountains, and remove hurdles! Hurricane Harvey is nothing compared to God! So to everyone suffering whether physically or emotionally my hearts goes out! We are praying and God is listening!                   

You tried hard...but did you try God!

Image
When you've tried everything! When exhausted all possibilities! When you've given up hope! You tried hard....but did you try God? Sometimes we allow him control but only over certain aspects of our lives...the part we know he's got! The other parts of us he wants to extend his hand towards we push away! "God I got this"! It isn't until we've run out of resources, patience, strength, and possibilities  that we let go of the control panel and actually allow him to work! We know God is a mighty God, a super natural God, an awesome God, a God without limitations! We've witness him take care of us in our times of need. We've felt his presence! We know his love! But we doubt him... We limit him... We grow impatient with him.. We give up on him.. You tried hard..Now it's time to TRUST GOD!

Let's pray!

Image
Good afternoon! Today I want to do something different! It's all about prayer requests!! I want to pray with you, over you, and for you! I also ask you do the same for me. If you don't know my name is Brittany, I ask you mention me by name. The bible tells us when two or more come together he is listening so LET'S PRAY! Prayer request: I ask for forgiveness, because I have fallen short.. I need prayer for increased faith and fully trusting God to handle all my needs...and know that he doesn't need my help! Lately I feel I've been unappreciative, because of multiple situations my attitude is not me and I don't like it! I ask you pray over my heart and that I have more gratitude! Thank you! Feel free to text me, email me or leave behind a comment and I'll be happy to pray over you today! Email: brittanymhamilton01@gmail.com

Waiting...

Image
Fix it Jesus! I ain't rushing you! I'll wait!!!  Who all is going to wait 🙋🙋🙋. Just some afternoon joy! Hope your having an amazing day!

I've come to far!

Image
"But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” 2 Chronicles 15:7 NIV Don't give up! ~Be strong as the Lord has told us! ~Remember: Patience is a virtue! ~Good things come to those who pray, believe, and wait on the Lord! ~Don't THINK your blessings are coming, KNOW they are, and thank him in advance with a grateful heart! You've come to far and seen too much to have doubt! You know his love for you is real, and endless! Don't give up now!

Praise HIM 👑

Image
Good morning!  Today, take a break and just praise him wherever you are! Just thank him for allowing you another day. For trusting you to achieve the purpose on your life. For loving you! For making a way out of no way! Heyyyyyyyyyy! Want he do it 🖐! Praise him however you do! You may be at work right now, not wanting to be there, but keep thanking him! Be grateful!!! He can upgrade your situation before you can blink an eye! He moves mountains! He performs miracles! Prayer changes lives!! If you believe in him and his supernatural blessings, than you truly know with God possibilities are ENDLESS! Have a great day

Future me....

Image
Dear future me! You are amazing, everything you went through helped developed you into an amazing woman! One who's caring, strong, and God fearing! You overcome obstacles and got out of difficult situations you never thought you would. You survived heart breaks, and set backs. You travel this world, you are fun, intriguing and you are wise. You are at peace, and have incredible joy. You love, laugh, smile and dance. Nothing worries you because you hand everything over to God! You are renewed in spirit and heart. You inspire, motivate, and captivate others. You are a wife, a cool mother, and an example! Your goals have shifted; pleasing God is your goal! Bringing others to Christ is your passion. Dear future me.....girl you are unstoppable, determined, and unbothered by nonsense! You represent good will, Gods grace and exude LOVE!                   ....what ever you're facing, won't be your forever.  I encourage you to write yourself a letter and it doesn't matter

Validation!

Image
YOU are.... Beautiful Smart Brave Out going Kind Loveable Selfless ...and the list could go on and on! But you didn't need me to validate what God already deemed! Why do we look for vaildation in people! who are just like us? Self love is soooooooooo majorly important! Understanding God's love for you, and believing in it!  Not one of us is greater than the next... No matter how well liked you are, how much money you have..when it comes to God you and I are EQUAL! He's the only one we should seek approval from! So next time you take a look at yourself in the mirror, you remind yourself! You don't need the next man, or woman to tell you, because you already know! You were created from majesty, Lord of Lord's and high of highs! The moment he laid hand's on you it was already deemed over your life! All the validation you'd ever need, you'll find in Christ!

🐠 All The Fish In The Sea 🐠

Image
     Out of all the fish in the sea God created you special and unique. He took his time and made you different from the rest. He made sure that no other was like you! You were handled delicately! He created you with purpose. He made you the one and only. Straight out of pure love. You were born as his child. Then he allowed you this earthly body in which you are borrowing! Oooooooou! Yes your body is borrowed! With that being said..quick question; how have you been treating yourself? How have you allowed others to treat you? Idk about you, but when I borrow something, I try to treat other peoples belongings better than I treat my own. The thing is we don't look at our bodies as borrowed..we say things like "it's my body", but it's really not!  Our bodies are our temples!. . .  "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore h

Somebody's Miracle!

Image
Guess what! Somebody right now needs you in there life! Somebody is on there knees begging and pleading with God for a positive change, a positive impact, a positive shift in their life! You just may be the positive force God is preparing to help somebody through! You are somebody's inspiration, somebody's motivation, somebody's positive push! Somebody's role model!! Bringing souls to christ is a privilege and God trusted you to do so! It's also a choice! You may have that person in life, who pushes you when you fall short, who encourages you with love, and never judges you when you're wrong, who points you back to Christ when you've gone astray!  I'm asking you to extend your arms with love, and allow God to users you to be someone else's miracle! Be the vessel God uses to touch a lost soul, to pick someone up when they have fallen! Have you ever heard that song, "What if God was one of us"? You never know who you're help or

God comes 1st!

Image
Are you putting your wants and desires before God?                       God tells us, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 NIV That right there let's us know, no matter what we want in life, it all come through, and from our heavenly Father! We are nothing without him, and I can tell you, you won't get very far before calling on him for help, and guidance! We also know he is a jealous God, he wants no man or nothing coming before him or taking his place in your life, and in your heart! So those desires you may have, whether it's a job, a husband/wife, a new house, a baby, etc. Make sure you desire those things secondary to God! He comes first; I know it's easy to want these things and place God behind the things we desire, because they are in our face and we are surrounded by it in our daily life's, but we must remember this life is only temporary!

Make me over!

Image
Make me over! Lord I don't want to be the same, make me brand new! Renew my heart, my spirit, and my mind! Help me to be in alignment with you! Help me to look into this world with new eyes! Sometimes you just need a hug, and to be told everything is going to be alright! When rededicating your life it can be a beautiful transition, it can also be hard! Some people in your life won't understand why or what you're doing, and they may not be on board or supportive! Don't be afraid, don't fall off track! I'm here today to tell you to keep pushing, keep praying and pursuing God! This song I'm leaving here today touches me everytime I listen to it, the lyrics are EXACTLY what I've been asking him! I hope today you feel it too, whether it makes you smile or cry!

A suitable mate!

Image
Butterflies in your stomach, fireworks, head spinning, sparks in your eyes, heart beating a 1000 miles per hour! You know what those are...your feelings! We think that's love, why? I know, because watch a lot of TV, and listen to a lot of love songs and it's got us all confused! I've been gone for 5 days! Joined a group which focused on praying for your future spouse! Some of you may have been in the group and it was very uplifting and motivation!  For those who missed it, one of the topics was 'finding someone suitable' for you! Not someone who just makes you googly-eyed, because your feelings can and are bound to change! When dating, we should really focus on getting to know a person, making sure they are suitable for us, and our lifestyle, and or future lifestyle! I remember getting so irritated with this guy, because he literally made me feel like I was on an interview! Honestly he was just trying to get to know me, but I had already made it up in my

Forgiveness!

Image
Good morning! Forgiveness is a major part in moving forward! If you can let go of hurt, you can open the door for God's beautiful blessings! Sometimes forgiving those who have caused you pain is hard, because you may feel betrayed, but we must remember we are all HUMAN! Broken people hurt people, happy people hurt people..people hurt people! That is why we seek Christ! Today I encourage you to place forgiveness in your heart and work on letting go! Allowing God to move through you. Forgive so you can move forward!

The key!

Image
You're asking, but are you preparing? Are you in any position to receive the things you are asking for? If you're not ready, start getting ready today! Don't put on tomorrow what you can do today! Stop procrastinating!! This is the  KEY! Preparation provokes manifestation!!! So get ready for the things that you pray for!

Be Cool!

Image
Keep your cool! Whatever you do, don't allow anything or anyone to steal your joy or dim you light! You keep shining! No matter how bad your day has started its bound to get better just keep smiling,  its ok to be mad! Be mad, but dont stay mad; remember your attitude determines your altitude!

Love Language!

Image
So we talked about this in church and I think it's important to know these things when starting or just being in a committed relationship. What is your love language? What is it that your significant other can do or does that you love. For some it's physical (holding hands), others actions (doing dishes). I think in order to have a healthy relationship you must know each other's love language. Out of all my few serious relationships I never once even knew I had a love language so it was never a discussion but who knows might have helped! If you're single figure out what you language is now so your next relationship you'll be able to let them know and if you are in a relationship now it'll be really nice to have this discussion with your partner and see what  positive changes can be made to better please one another!

He'd do it again!

Image
Created in his image, thought the world of, loved to the end of the world! You are enough! In case you forgot, you are more than enough! Your presence, your love, your life! You are beautiful, his lovely creation!

Think about it!

Image
Don't leave this earth having let everyone else use you, but God!... We get used on a daily for what we can do for someone else! Whether it be your kids, family members or even friends; we all have something to offer that benefits another person. You've been used! Don't get so used up that when it comes to God needing and wanting to use you, you're too tired, or questioning him why it has to be you! Allow him to use you! You may not fully understand his reasoning, but know their is a reason and it's only for your good!

He's listening!

Image
Have you ever experienced a surreal moment with Christ? I'll say about 5 or 6 months ago I was in a low place, I remember closing the door to my bedroom and going into my closet (closing that door too) because I didn't want my roommate to hear me and breaking down! Now I'm a strong person I usually don't allow many to see me shed a tear.. I'd go in there and just cry for hours..then I'd pray! This went on for a few weeks, but nobody knew.. I finally asked God to just talk to me, actually I begged him! I've heard people say all the time "the Lord spoke to me", but NEVER actually experienced it for myself. One of those days I went to my closet to pray and cry and be dramatic about my life (lol probably). I think I fell asleep in the mist of all that, but I promise you his presence was so real! He spoke to me and I know he did. I  heard him tell me "Focus on me, and I'll take care of the rest"! Yes I wanted so much more, but tha

Ready or not!

Image
Are you ready? When you least expect it, God always shows up to show out, and he is always right on time! He knows exactly what we need, and when we need it! You've been asking, but are you preparing? Are you in any position to receive the things you are asking for? If you're not ready, start getting ready today! Don't put on tomorrow what you can do today! Stop procrastinating!! Preparation provokes manifestation!!! So get ready for the things that you pray for!

Just Pray!

Image
Lord give me the strength to trust what it is you're doing in my life, give me the patience to not get be side myself and move ahead of you! Guide me and give me the courage to follow you! Let me not be fooled or distracted. Fill my life with positive people, who can encourage a positive attitude, mindset and heart; who will add to my life and not dimmer my light! Please help me to keep guard and protect my heart from those who mean me no good. I pray that you clear my mind of all evil thoughts and replace them with good ones. ..........................Sometimes we just need to break down where we are and start pouring out our hearts to him! How intimate it is and such a privilege to be able to communicate with him, whenever , where ever! This is me vulnerable and open! And I don't care because somebody needed this today, somebody feels me. Open up your hearts and your mouths (a close mouth doesn't get fed) and speak with your father! He's waiting!

YOU!

Image
Most people want love, but don't know how to love.. Love starts within yourself! If you don't know how to be in love with you, how can you expect someone else to be? Ever met a relationship hopper?, they just literally bounce from one situation to the next.. Often because they are looking to fill a void, that really no one can fill! People are in such a rush to be in a  relationship for a title, or because they are scared of being alone, or they give themselves a time frame so they just settle, but they never experience or have the opportunity of being to themselves. That's why so often when people are asked simple questions they can't even give a clear answer.. "What makes you happy? What do you like to do"?  Or my favorite "Tell me about yourself"... It's ok to be single for a little while..because in that time instead of looking for your next mate, look for yourself! Some times we lose ourselves in our relationships. Date yourself!! I

Who's MAD?

Image
Be not easily angered! Control your temper, allow no one the power of upsetting you, taking you out of character, or losing your cool! Even if you are mad why give someone the privilege of thinking they accomplished something? Ephesians 4:26 tells us it is ok to be angry, but not to allow that anger to cause us to sin! I know you've heard "do not go to bed angry!" This is also the verse that tells us, not to let the sun go down and we still be angry! I'm so glad he tells us this because life is not promised! The last thing you want to do is go to sleep angry at someone whom you love and never get to tell them again... God doesn't want us having that guilt, that's why he tells us. So be angry, sin not, and then get over it!

No Refills

Image
Good morning! Short and sweet ❤ People must understand the value of other people's time! If you have the pleasure of occupying someones time respect it, because that's one of the few things in life they can't get back! No refills, no chance after chances, no time stopping, once it's gone it's definitely gone.

No Exception!

Image
Declare this with me... I am strong I am not passive I am not taking bull crab from anyone I will be respected No exception, Issa DEMAND! You were not placed here to be disrespected, to go with the flow or to be a push over.. I'm sorry but you were given a voice not to be mute but to spread glory! So many times people are intimated by others..why? We are all equally created. Yes your gifts may be different from mines, but neither of us is better than the other..right? Stop being placed in the back seat when you should be demanding the front! Stop begging for respect and start demanding it. Nobody looking for you, look for yourself. Nobody's going to love you like you love you, so love love love yourself! Stop being afraid to speak up and be heard! Start having some assertiveness about yourself! I'm tried of seeing people being torn down, humiliated, and deterred because of a lack of confidence, and low self esteem.. I know for a FACT God did not look at you an

Fast talker

Image
Ever met a person who could  talk a can out of a worm? One thing I've come to realize about people is that they like to talk! People talk so much nonsense because it sounds good, but they don't actually mean what they say.... That's why I find it hard to trust or believe the things people tell me. I think we've gotten so used to just talking, and making empty promises that we do the same to God! I know I'm not the only one who has made a promise to God and fail to keep it.. The thing is he already knows you, he can't be fooled by our gibber! He's looking for our actions! I don't make promises anymore because I know myself...sometimes I'm easily tempted, sometimes my flesh is weak. We are not super human; we're just plan ole human. So we should think before we speak! That way we say what we mean and mean what we say!

He has a Plan!

Today as I was thinking of a topic I was pondering what to write about. Having total writers block I opened the bible..and started reading about God having a purpose for you and me.. He tells us in Isaiah 29:11.  How many of you know your purpose? How many are still trying to figure it out? Once we know our purpose we must continue to renew ourselves in him, and ask him to expand us in our purpose; to use us in many ways! Sometimes it's hard to be the example. We get angry and we question God and ask "why me"? We have all been there! But why not you? Did you ever stop to think that this trial you're going through was specifically designed just for you. You are the reason someone else will have it easier because you paved the way. You took the burden to bear the fruit. You now have a testimony. I must confess I literally had to stop and say "God I don't know what you are doing in my life but thank you in advance".."yes it hurts now, no to

Be honest with yourself!

Image
If we married a love like the love with give God, would our marriage last?... wHoA! We have to be honest with ourselves! Honestly I think I'd be divorced, but fighting for my marriage... God requires our attention, and our love, just like we do in a relationship! Now I'm certain we've all been in a relationship with someone whom we loved but something may have been lacking; communication, attentiveness, etc. which cause you to come to an end...Remember how you felt? Not so good huh because you wanted so badly for it to work. God feels even worst! He created us. Now I don't have kids yet, but some of you may, can you imagine your children denying you love? Not speaking to you? Unimaginable right... We have got to start setting time for our Father! He loves us endlessly. Let's stop breaking his heart, let's stop doing the unimaginable to him. Now he knows we are humans and flawed to the max, don't beat yourself up, just start over again until you get it

99 problems!

Image
Gotta 99 problems, but my Lord ain't one! If you having life problems I feel bad for you son. Betta drop to ya knees and send up a quick one! (Lol) We all have thing we go through in life, it's inevitable, it's a journey; it's our journey! One thing that remains consistent throughout our changing world is the Love we receive from our God! His love will never deny you, it's unchanging, it's faithful, it's right on time, and it's forever! There is never an issue too big or too small for him! No matter how major or minor he is always there to listen and console us! Also fix our issues! Not always when we want him to, but always on time! So those 99 problems you've been carrying around, just drop them where you are, and allow God to pick them up! I promise you the load is much lighter walking to the top with a little bit of help!

Has worrying helped you yet?

Image
Has worrying ever added a single hour to your life? Just wondering..God tells us in Matthew 25-27 not to worry! He gives us examples like the birds in the sky and how he takes care of them from day to day.  We are worth more than a bird, yet sometimes we don't trust God will come through! We take over with our need to know attitudes. We have to realize that there may come a time we may not know where our next meal will come from, how we are going to save our marriage, how we are going to keep our bills paid, etc. But we must know and TRUST God will provide!

The Key!

Image
Forgive your self for accepting less than you deserve; for allowing someone to mistreat you; for believing anything less than you are amazing! Forgive yourself and don't do it again! You know you also have to forgive those, who didn't understand your worth, who hurt you, and who missed out on how amazing you are! It's not their fault, they were just playing a role for what God has set up for you! God will never leave you empty! So fill your heart with so much of him. I pray that God puts an end to everything draining you physically, spiritually, and emotionally. That from today and so on you are full of joy and peace. That you realize in order for him to release that growth you've been praying for, you've got to release that pain from your heart. So forgive, and forget...after all that's what we ask of God!

When life gives you lemon GRAB GOD!

Image
 Life is not always fair, but God is fair! Unfortunately circumstances do not determine your destiny, your downfalls are not your destruction, however your victory is in how you handle it! Get away from people who are negative, who pull you down; allow harsh words to fall on deaf ears. Allow yourself to strive forward by surrounding yourself with people who believe in you, when you don't believe in yourself, people who motivate you to be better, who push you, and who are on the same path as you! We all have people in our life who just aren't ready, but don't allow them to set you back its ok to move forward! Be the example they need by letting them see your faith, by allowing God's grace to shine through you

Get Out Your Feelings!

Image
Being caught up in your feelings, will have you missing out on life! Get out your feelings!! Someone doesn't want to be with you, stop crying over them, and move on, because some one is out there literally praying for someone like you! They don't want to hire you, don't feel let down, pick your self up and fill out another application! Don't get caught up in your emotions that when you get your first couple NO'S you shut down, you just give up...what happen to "when they shut the door on you, you going through the window"?! Get out your feelings and get the roses! Stop over thinking each situation, unhappy with yourself CHANGE! That's the beautiful thing about life!! Don't prolong your blessings being stuck in a rut! Now I don't like when people say "miss out on your blessings", and then go to say "if God has something for you, then it's for you"....you see how that can be contradicting. Honestly I don't think i

Who's Driving?

Image
Do you go directly to him first, or do you try to handle it on your own, and use God as a backup plan? If your the type to try and fix problems on your own ever notice how that makes things worst and even sometimes creates a bigger problem?! Sometimes we feel so desperate, and we don't know what to do, so out of desperation we turn to other people for help, but every notice how when you're in a bind no one is truly there... Ever felt like you always come through for people you love, but the feeling isn't always mutual! I promise you if you turn to him 1st, you'll never be in either situation again! He yearns to fix our problems, he wants us to call on him! He always has your back 1000% and he'll NEVER let us down! We'll never need a plan B , in fact once we give it to him we no longer have to focus on the situation again, because it's no longer yours it's his! If he's been your spare tire, make him your steering wheel today! Stop trying to

Are you happy?

Image
Are you really happy, or are you just comfortable? Never settle for anything just so you can have something; never settle for anyone just so you can have someone! I don't know about you but I made a promise to myself to make me a priority! A promise to love myself, to respect myself, and apart of that means that I will not settle because something or someone is familiar, out of comfort, or loneliness! Patience is a virtue, God has someone out there just for you! Work on you, and stop looking, because when the time is right God will release your blessings!
