Everything is Temporary....Nothing in this Life is Permanent

These are the color of fire. There is a warfare going on and we have to put on the armor of God and stay firm. Though we may have people conspire against us and talking about us, praying on us because they don't want to see us grow and keep us in one place, we must remember that the battle is not ours, but it's the Lord's. God is in control and all power is in His hands. We must hang in there and claim, decree and declare the victory. I know that it gets tough but we must use the weapon of praise because the devil can't stand it when we praise God in the midst of all hell. The enemy can't stand our worship, he wonders how can they still praise and worship God even when I have done the worst. This is because of the unstoppable and unbreakable joy and Jesus being inside of us. If He that is greater, better and bigger is in us, then there is nothing to worry about. Those that are really for you will show themselves and those who are against you will show themselves. But, don't worry about those that curse and hate on you because we are supposed to love them no matter it is hard. But, you know what a woman of God said that I loved: Jesus said to give them the other cheek if they smack you on the one and you wonder why this is the case because you get double for your trouble. That made me think of things differently. Those who ignore me were never really my friends anyway. It was only because I went to the same house of worship as them. Heather Lindsey another woman of God said in her book Pink Lips and Empty Hearts that those people are just simple acquaintances. I'm just writing this blog to let you know that all of these things are temporal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 states that the light afflictions because that's all they are nothing like the promises that are already done and goes to talk about the things which are seen are temporary and the things which are not seen are forever. So hang on in there, don't give up, don't complain, if you have to cry, cry but get back up knowing that I'm coming out and Jesus is able to help you out. He is able to do what He said He will do. Read the work and hold onto His unchanging hand. If you don't Him get to know Him because He's the man who is in the business of healing and reviving that which is broken and lost. He came that He may seek and save the lost and let them there is another way out. He is awesome. Be blessed and stay encouraged. Always in the name of Jesus.

Step Out into the Deep

I know that it is hard but we can't be complacent with our lives.It's time to move to the next level and I know that personally at this moment that I have a problem with this. I complain and make excuses and blame others for my mistake. It makes me upset that I keep getting mad and it is because I want to hear God myself. Apparently, I am told that I will never hear him and that he will speak to me through other people that he uses. I mean I don't feel that it is fair. I felt good and still now I feel good because no one can take the joy that I have from me. No man can take it away because they didn't give it to me. I mean I may be unhappy presently but I am still praising God because I know that it is for my own good. Everything in my life seems so stagnant and why it is because I haven't step out into the deep when I know that I was told to do this a couple of weeks ago and now I am being tested on it. I know that it is hard to step out of our comfort zones, but if we do it's only for the experience. If we fail, get up and try something else, if we succeed then it's like why didn't I do this in the first place? Everything will become better. Sometimes we don't want to step out because we don't know where we're going and it's like we have no control, but God is in control. He knows all and he sees all. It will be painful to do because people will be upset with you, but who cares what people think or say? They don't have a heaven or hell to put you in. You need to rely on the one who holds everything and who holds the promises. He has a plan for you, even if you don't know Him. Do you know that he sent Jesus Christ for you just so that we may live and that abundantly? He loves us so much and think of us. Everything that you are carrying, you don't have to carry any longer because God's got it. So, step into the deep and you will be glad that you did.  You will see that the stagnant is no longer stagnant and that everything will turn around in your favor. It is going to work but you must comply with what the Lord is saying.

The Change Starts in Us

We as a people just don't know how much we can contribute to the environment that surrounds us.  We can make our environment and the people that are around us do things to us that are negative just by our attitude or vice versa. Even if we have those people that are the ones who are still being negative we have to illuminate that kindness towards them. We must show them that you will not make me like you but that I can make you feel some way by how I react to you. We must be kind because kindness can go a long way. It can change someone's mood. Even if the person is not what you're used to, you must show kindness. If the world was more kind then it would be so much better. Just imagine if the world was kind and that's because one person took the initiative to start being kindness and it became contagious. I've been observant of how people treat others and each other lately. Even when it comes to myself I am mindful of it. I mean we're not perfect so we will make mistakes and there are some days that seem to sour for us. But it won't last forever we must think of change after being about change and we must be willing to change or it won't work. I know that if I ask God for something or do something I must meet him halfway so that he can finish the rest. It is another aspect of teamwork and kindness when it comes to a team it fierce. Even being unified and honest and all of these other aspects that go along with change. A lot of people I know are afraid of change and I have been afraid of change too.When I decided to change my hair to its natural state , it was hard and I was afraid of how I would look and what people thought of me. Oh man that was the main thing and now I love my hair and I don't regret what I did to get there and I'm still going through the journey and the process.So, once you have changed don't think that it stops there because that was only the beginning. It is all a process and a journey and life itself is both of these. So remember, if you want change you have to make sure it happens and go forth even in being afraid because you never know what you may be missing if you don't step out in the deep.

Not Myself Lately

I haven't wrote in a while, that's because I haven't felt like it. I always tend to start things and don't continue it for some sort of reason. It seems like the negative habits take over once again and I feel like giving up or quitting. I've noticed that at the end of the day that I haven't been myself lately. Something is lacking and I'm not sure what it is. I want something and I do know what it is but it's like maybe I tend to doubt what that thing is. I need to be praying more than ever when this tries to come upon me. This has happened on more than one occasion and it is nothing new. Things start to improve and then they become sort of crazy once again. I know things will get better and I have to be the one to propel it to be better. Sometimes, we ask God for some things but He expects us to do our part on it. He doesn't want everything to be done by Himself only even though we know that He doesn't need help. But, if you want something then you have to work towards it. I mean I do feel a little better,  but I want to feel great.  I just wonder sometimes at what point will that happen. So, I know why I haven't been myself lately and I may not reveal that within in this blog, but if you do know a word of prayer then pray for me. This is what I ask as you read this. I know that at one point or another, that we have all felt that way where it just feels where we lack something and we don't know what, but at the same time we do know. We need to release these things and give them all to God. I've been feeling a struggle within myself and I know that it will get better because it has to get better because I believe that it will. Sometimes, it's hard not to lose faith but we have to keep the faith and keep pressing forth. This has been occurring with me on and off for months. I've noticed that certain things that I'm apart that I have been getting away from just once or a little I feel better about because there's another work for me to do. This must be what has been bothering me and I'm unsure of that work but I know that if I pray I will get a revelation. It is because there is more for me to do and I'm not doing it right now. Lord, I must get ready for what it is that you will have me to do. 

Depending on God and No One Else

I was shown how just essential and necessary it is to depend on God. I thought I was good when going over the song that I had to learn and everything until it came until the night to perform it. So, I ended up blanking out. I couldn't remember the words or anything it was  so embarrassing and crazy to me. I was so critical and mad with myself. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my music and how I sing. I like things to be just right. I believe that God had to show me Himself. He wanted to let me know to depend on me and you will be successful and without me you will fail. I saw this for myself. When I redid it this past Sunday because our Pastor wanted to see it, it was much better I didn't forget the words and I was more into it than I was on Friday. What I did wrong was the kind of attitude that I had on the day of program which was last Friday. Something had occurred and I did not like it at all and then I had to do something else in place of it. Then I did not pray to God individually before actually performing. That was the mistake that I made. But, on Sunday I was in a much better mood, I prepared on Saturday and prayed and prayed and prayed. I prayed on that Sunday too on my own. I went up for prayer and drank throat coat tea and I succeeded this time. I depended on God and no one else to help me. I was into the song and even though people loved it the first time it was sang. They were more quiet this time; I guess they were listening to the way I was singing and what I was singing. This shows that if you depend on God, and put Him first that everything else will be in line as it should be. You can't expect to go to court and the win the case without Jesus being there. You can't expect to go to the hospital or doctor without Jesus being there. You can't a promotion on your job without Jesus being there. You may think that you are the source to your success  but Jesus is actually the source of success. One thing to remember is to never forget who blessed you because it is only by God's grace and mercy that we are still here. We can't wake up ourselves and each day we wake up that shows that we have purpose.  So remember to always depend and trust in God because He is the one that will see you through to the end. Trust Him with anything in your life and He will make sure that you have everything that you need in life. I know I trust and I always do my best to acknowledge Him.

All Up in the Business!

First of all if you don't like what I'm about to write then too bad. This blog is to speak my mind and make the expression  of how I feel. So, I made a life changing decision in my life and so I get nothing  but opposition from every side. This is family or whoever else. Some people haven't really revealed themselves.  But, it's always the case that people can't genuinely be happy for you and that's okay. At the end of the day check up under your own hood and get out of mine. I know you mean well but still this doesn't mean you can criticize what I do with my life.  It's like you spend all of that time checking under what's going on with me that you may miss out on your life and then when you end up in hell or wherever don't say nothing. Stop  concentrating on my life and concentrate on yours. If I make mistakes this is life and we live and we learn. Everything for the most part is a trial and error process. If it's not one thing , then it would be another thing. I  can't stay concentrating on your opinion because at the end of the day whatever become in life is my choice. Just remember that it's my life and not yours. I am going to be successful, I expect great things for my life, so much so that I act like I am better than what I am at times. This is not for you  to keep pecking your beak in my seed but to peck your own beak in your own seed. I can't stand the fact that everyone is just minding mine, why don't you mind yours. If this offends, you then too bad so sad and I don't care if you catch an attitude and don't talk to me. I care about my happiness and I'm not going to be miserable on account of you. I refuse to do so, I'd rather be happy than to be miserable. I've been down this road way too many times before and even though in those situations it happened to be correct, this time you are wrong.  Look at the quote and let it marinate in your mind. Be happy and remember that it's my life and don't forget about it. I will always make choices that you will disagree with but it's my decision. I choose to believe to have enough faith that things will change and that is why I am where I am at this moment. Don't get it twisted, I love you, but don't be all up in the business! This is  why I'm to myself and don't say anything to no one but a few people. The less people around, the better.

Valentine's Day: Real Love

Hey everyone,
Once again I'm here to write about something that everyone is probably wondering about. It's Valentine's day today and I'm seeing a lot of people writing that they don't have one. But, I'm also seeing that people are writing that they don't need a valentine and God is their valentine. I commend you girls because Valentine's day is a man made holiday. Though it seems like I don't have a valentine, this year I do but I am so proud to discuss on this blog what real love is. A man can try as much as he can to satisfy you, but the real man is JESUS. He's the one and only one for God is love and it says this in the word of God. I came to tell you and to talk how God's love is real love because He loved us so much that he gave his only begotten son. He gave us the greatest love of all. Whitney Houston sings a song " The Greatest Love of All." It talks of loving ourselves and this is true too. We can truly love ourselves because we know that God loves us and there is nothing greater than having that assurance. When we are able to love God , we then can love others. I usually have a valentine on valentine's day and there was actually one time in which I had no one. I felt some type of way, but then because of God's love, I can accept whether I have someone or not. The person that I have now is very blessed to have me in his life and I am blessed as well to have him in my life. Our love won't be able to flourish without God's love for  us and us having that love for Him. We won't be able to function and our relationship won't be able to reach levels if we don't have Jesus within us. We need to portray that love to others and show what Christ is all about. God's love is unconditional, you can turn your back on Him and He will still love you with open arms. That's how MY God is and He won't ever judge you for what you've done like man, He will forgive you time and time again. Valentine's day is everyday with those we love and with God. Valentine's day is not one day that we can just forget about when the day is over. I love how much I've grown because I love Christ and I love serving others. I love to do the will of God and that's what I want for my life. God sent someone to me because of this reason, when he knew the time would be right for me and that person to finally come as one. I will tell you this my valentine and I dated in High School and we were at points in our lives where we weren't ready to be together yet. But, now we have come to a point in our lives where we can be together and flourish. We can minister to the people in this world together and show the people how great God's love is through our love that He has given us. Real love is God's love don't forget that and God will send that person to you when the time is right because there is a season to everything in our lives, so that person that you are with may not even be yours forever. Time is short and life is short. Let's make it worthwhile by accepting real love: God's love into our hearts . Once you accept Him, you will never be the same and you will with know that the decision you made will be the right one. God is love. No greater love has ever been portrayed than His. He died for us so that we may have eternal life and spend it with Him. He will be glorified and magnified either way why not today?
