Keep Jesus at the center!

Almost a year ago, I went to church with a former friend and one of the ministers called me up and started to pray for me and prophesy over my life, one of the things that he told me is that I was being distracted. Immediately I was thinking to myself like this man doesn't even know me... At the time, I just started school, and could not understand what I was being distracted by. Well now over a year later I see it, I ended up in a situation that overtime (months) had become something that started to affect me spiritually, mentally and emotionally. And I started to worry about this, that and the other, this situation started to become the center of my focus, no longer was Christ the center he was alongside it. That wasn't my intention but even when we may have the best intentions at heart, and want the best for our situations, we can STILL be distracted by things. I got distracted, and didn't mean to, but I let worry and confusion control me so that was the result. Now had I not gotten distracted, and stayed focused on Christ, He would have kept my mind right and I wouldn't have gone through this season. Sometimes we put ourselves in situations that will wreck us.

Today My Bishop talked about distractions, and how we must stay focused on our purpose! And our purpose is to serve, worship and honor Christ in every aspect of our lives. I instantly thought about that day as he was speaking, I couldn't help but to cry because I knew that I let anxiety control me, I worried sooooo bad, I had migraines almost every day. And if anyone has ever had a migraine, they know they can get bad. I lost weight, I started to really dislike everything and everyone around me (I’m just being transparent). Everything irritated me, my family, my job, school, even myself. I started to just worry myself SICK!

The bible says in Philippians 4:6-7 "6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

This situation WRECKED ME, WRECKED my heart, but it also HUMBLED me so much! I can’t complain about it because it brought me closer to Christ, and it put Him right back in the position he NEEDS to be at in my life: AT THE CENTER. I’m wiser, I’m definitely stronger, and I’m growing into the woman God has created me to be. So what I want to say to you all is PLEASE keep Jesus at the center, even if you have to do a daily check to make sure you are, because like I stated before even when your intentions may be good, you can STILL GET OFF COURSE! So please I can’t stress it enough,
  Keep Jesus at the center of all that you do, 
when you wake up ✔, when you eat ✔, when you go to work ✔, when you go to school ✔, when you spend time with family & friends ✔, when you’re walking ✔, when you’re talking ✔ , every breath that you take make sure it’s for Jesus!! He deserves it, and He will fight for His rightful position in your life!

God has a plan for you & you're distracted be free!
God bless you all (:

Wanted to share this, it helped me a lot.

Losing Friends, Gaining Faith by  JENNIFER JOHNS  on  APRIL 30, 2010 Several weeks ago a friend visited my desk to chat when she noticed a small square paper hanging on my cubicle wall. She asked what it said and leaned in closer to read it. The quote was about staying open to the change God wants to do in our lives. An uncomfortable look formed on her face and she said something about how HR doesn’t allow religion in the workplace. I wasn’t sure if she was kidding or serious, so I asked if it offended her. She said, “Well, it’s definitely weird.” Losing Friends I’ve noticed a difference in some friendships since  dedicating my life fully to God . At times it comes in the form of mocking, especially after sharing a great story that feels highly inspiring, but it also comes in the form of rejection. At first this new dynamic was hard to swallow; it felt like I was being torn between two worlds. It was great getting invites to dinner or drinks with fri...

Good, grief.

This morning my mom called. She had called me late last night but I was asleep. This morning she called again and I instantly knew something was off. I woke up this morning expecting to have a great day just because I went to bed at a good time the night before and woke up and made a smoothie. I've always hated Mondays, a lot of the worse days of my life or most frustrating days seemed to be on Mondays. Today was no different. I called my mom back and she begin to tell me that my cousin Edward aka "Junior" died last night. Not only did he die but he died in the basement of my Aunts, his mom's house. The same place my other cousin Eric died 5 years ago. They were brothers, Eric was the youngest. I was heartbroken and instantly broke out in tears. Eric was one of my favorite cousins on my mom's side of the family, we shared a love for art. When he died just 8 days after I moved to Dallas, I was devastated. I moved to Dallas on July 7, 2017, and he died on July 15th....

Hello 2023: God is Faithful.

First, let me start by saying Happy New Year!!!!!! I pray this year is a blessed year for you and your family. I pray for God to show up in your life to remind you that He is always near to His own. I know I had to continue to remind myself of that truth in 2022 and for the rest of my life, it will be engraved on my heart. I'm so thankful that no matter what happens in this life when we place our faith and trust in God He is able to sustain us through the most difficult times in life. I don't know about you but 2022 was a difficult season for me. And I say season because I knew that a lot that took place would cause a shift in my norm that would only be for a season, at least I hoped. But I wasn't prepared for all of the coping and suppressing my own feelings it would take to get through it. I was in survival mode all of 2022, kind of similar to how I felt when the pandemic first happened in 2020. I just did what I could to survive and make it to the next day. By the Grace ...
